That is the most important point to make about this man...he's all the way serious in his nerdiness

@ClownPoet So SO TRUE! Jonathan does what he wants, doesn't give a hoot who likes it and who doesn't. i have seen him in concert at least 15 times, and i can't imagine a performer who has more fun!

Was this song a hit in the UK?!

New England ain't what it used to be . Then again , neither is Cal . Personally , I wouldn't live in either place .
-
saw jonathon richman play by himself in NZ while bootboys were beating each other other in the audiience - slightly bizarre but ranks as one of my best ever concerts - the man is a genius

OMG.What a blast from the past. I had a roomate when I lived in Eureka ca, and he turned me on to the Lovers. Jonathan actually played at the Eureka bar and grill sans his band. Gotta realize this was /is a redneck town and we were the only ones in the bar familiar with his music--so we got really drunk and drummed and did the side vocals for most of his songs -and we didn't get thrown out. I now feel very guilty about that show......



Pay attention kids - irony free. You wont see its like again. In its way, as radical as The Stooges or The Pistols - while they flew in the face of everything that came BEFORE them, Jonathan Richmans's lack of cynicism flew in the face of everything which came AFTER.

ok,
so I'm only 15 years old
I love (Jonathan Richmand and) the Modern Lovers
Is it just me though, or can't I find 'My Little Kookenhaken' nowhere on the net?
heh.
yup, I love them because my father owns 'Modern Lovers Live'
(but I like it better than my father does)
