I love Jonathan Richman. I heart him. If I was a girl in high school, I would send him notes in class saying "do you like me? circle one: Y N Maybe." At the show last night, he had the audience in the palm of his hand with his boy-ish charm; everyone loved him. We all completely trusted him to do right by us with his catchy song and dance; he showed us his gift to the world. He is just so honest and great to watch, he made everyone happy. I was not in a particularly good mood that night, and I was thinking of not going, but, man, so good! He just put me in the best mood in the world. I am on a Jonathan Richman high. Anyway, I searched around on youtube, and this is closest video to what the concert last night was like:
Fun right? Here is another video of him performing live on Conan that I love.
I think everyone should go see Jonathan Richman at some point in their lives, and if they can at multiple points. He cures all ails. The funny thing is I really didn't like his stuff at all in high school. I guess its sort of a thing you just have to see to get into. But he was fantastic, such a brilliant performer. I strive to be as great a performer as he is. Alright!
