Probably one of the only songwriters who has conversations with himself in the middle of his own songs. "But you know, Jonathan...". It's part of what makes JoJo, JoJo.

In these days of pre-programmed digital. Talent effects, click tracks and auto-tune what a delight to see real spontaneity, humanity and talent oozing from every pore

It is about time somebody recognized the genius of Jonathan Richman. I have been listening to him since the seventies. If you want to talk Avant garde, He is on par with the Velvet underground., Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa. You could also include Roky Erickson. I'm A Little Airplane , let's give him his recognition before he passes away like so many others that were not given their due.

His Bostonian accent is so great! I love that it never disappears when he sings and almost sounds innocent and child- like. He's soo cute ❤️
