Brilliant, thanks for this.

[@aaronjschaefer]

How could there ever be a thumbs down on any Jonathan Richman video?

[@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music]

Yes.

[@jlcourter0657]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

You are so welcome

Incredible live footage of Ice Cream Man, haven’t seen video of that one before!

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zane8868]

Amazing

Who would have thought Road Runner by Jonathan Ricmman would be used in a commercial for CNN show Destination Unknown. This song is almost 50 years old. Any song today have that could last 50 years for a commercial in 2072? Doubt it

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Agreed

[@leahflower9924]

It was going to be the Massachusetts state song

[@rubberchix]

the mad head makes me cry

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Im not sure if you enjoyed this or not

[@rubberchix]

@@ScottishTeeVee only watched it 10000 times :)

[@BeesWaxMinder]

Any chance you have his appearance on the tube doing ‘chewing gum wrapper’?

[@ScottishTeeVee]

No I don't have that, in fact I do not even recall it. He was on Whistle Test, doing that song

[@BeesWaxMinder]

@@ScottishTeeVee Maybe I’m wrong but I really doubt it 🤔 We’d certainly never heard of Jonathan Richman all the modern lovers when my brother & I saw that performance & am pretty sure it was Jools Holland who introduced him That’s when my brother and I saw him for the first time and I followed him ever since; been to many gigs -in fact it was my “gateway drug“ as it were! If it was the Whistle test would there be a crowd there..? I don’t think so I’m still sticking to my memory all those years ago of it being the tube😉🤞 (BUT If you have the Whistle test gig I will check it against me dusty memory banks!)

[@ScottishTeeVee]

@@BeesWaxMinder I see you found the Whistle Test performance, I saw your comment 🙂 My guess would be that they played the Tube around the same time as The Whistle Test, but I checked the Tube episode guide, which lists all guests, who performed live or were interviewed and Jonathan is not mentioned nor the Modern Lovers, it's a puzzle. Drop Jonathan an email and ask, it's worth a try.

[@BeesWaxMinder]

@@ScottishTeeVee If I had his email address I would! I didn’t realise that was the whistle test one you meant 👍 Come to mention it (honestly I’m not just making this up!) I think he was brought in as a last minute thing -it was kind of like a “going live or something over at somewhere“🤷‍♂️ The plot Thickens…!

[@Martin-in6pt]

No but if you look for Jules Holland "now is better than before" it's the best version I have ever heard

[@smyparanoia]

Jonathan way bigger than Lou Reed, mostly because he's still alive

[@Amuseddaysleeper]

Nah not even close

[@danielcallahan5404]

Jonathan Richman is one of the greatest American musicians of the last 50 years.

[@ScottishTeeVee]

Absolutely

[@Johnnybomb1]

@@ScottishTeeVee I thought he was Canadian?

[@ScottishTeeVee]

@@Johnnybomb1 Born in Natick, Massachusetts. So American

[@johnsilva9139]

Thanks for this. Have seen Jonathon perform 25 times over the past 50 years and will see him again in a few weeks here in Boston. Always a tremendous show.

[@chrissmith8526]

This is great saw him loads in London around this time you have some great videos on your channel thanks for all the work you put into it

J.R. was a poet, his style naive and joyful, in a self depreciating way.

[@julesotis13]

thank you...happy birthday mr richman the good lords indeed bless you!

[@albertducroq9141]

TOP live J. RICHMAN ever ! ( Saw 'him live Theatre de Mogador Paris 1978 , it was great !)

[@Halry1]

If it’s 86 how come it looks like 45?

Fantastic lyrics...Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole,..not like you?

No idea, sorry
