Yes! Jonathan thread! We must celebrate with some ice cream, and then we can all go dancing in the lesbian bar.

The first Modern Lovers album is one of my all-time favourites. I have it on both vinyl and CD, and I listen to it at least once a month.

Well, once your drummer leaves you to form the Cars, and your keyboardist leaves for Talking Heads, things change.

I grew up listening to Ice Cream Man, Roadrunner, I'm Straight, and Government Center. My dad pressed the punk on me from a young age.

Since when hasn't this guy had hipsters namechecking him? He gets loads of acclaim already.

In an ideal world, all music would be as good as Jonathan Richman's.

Was the author spelling it "weened" a Ween joke, or should I just call him what Pablo Picasso never was?

 
Boris S. Wort [TotalFark] 2008-06-26 09:13:17 PM  
... and subsequently Jonathan Richman was never called an asshole.



/not by me

 
Georgos [TotalFark] 2008-06-26 11:21:15 PM  
No way! I assumed that the filters would do something wacky with "asshole", so I invoked Pablo (negatively). Asshole! That's good to know. Asshole! Wooo!

Thanks, Boris.

/asshole
//not you
///just the word
