  • I love how Johnathan reacts when the audience gets all riled up toward the end. You can see how happy he gets about it.

  • I am so thankful we have JR, my music world would have been so empty.  I also sitting here watching this thinking, if the cheese didn't slide off the cracker for Daniel Johnston, would he be doing stuff like Jonathan?

  • look how huge conan's suit it. That probably could provide shelter for a family of deer.

  • @DJkevvykev I totally agree that this would have been perfect for Johnny Cash to sing. Among his many qualities, Cash had an offbeat sense of humor, and I think that he would have appreciated this song. It is certainly in his style. Remember, "A Boy Named Sue" was also not exactly a conventional country song. I can just imagine Johnny singing, "Salt Lake City, everybody off..."

  • @extremelybusy123 : yeah, that's it... he's like a punk/folk/poet songwriter with a sweet sense of humor. Just going from three songs I've seen so far... I see the Lou Reed delivery but I hadn't put my finger on it.

  • @BlackJacketJones : you're so right.

  • I never knew about this guy, just watching him today, he seems great. Love the songs and the attitude he has seem really kind and sweet.

  • Too bad his guitar isn't audible. Otherwise this is such a GREAT live version!

  • @LastBankJob

    I love JR and JC and would never have thought of that, but you are right. Johnny Cash would have done a heck of a good cover of this.

  • In an interview years ago, Bob Dylan said that Jonathan Richman was a musician that he liked, him and Tom Waits.

  • he reminds me of Shirley Temple.
