Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers - Affection • TopPop

[@briansiefke1871]

I've seen Mr. Jonathan Richman perform live twice now, and both times he touched my soul and I wept like a child. He also made me laugh, too. And think. He really is that powerful and deeply human. I wasn't around for the Modern Loves, but they are amazing and this music is a gift to us all.

[@cosmicmatrix6238]

i think i could watch this every day for the rest of my life.

[@jflatl]

It should be watched weekly at a very minimum.

[@alex-pe9jy]

im on day 3 of listening to this everyday for a year

[@KitshChicChic]

He's so pure. I love this version. And I'm starving for affection. It seems the solution is "to relax a little and meet some people who like me" haha

[@andreagolanka2214]

Pleased to meet you!

[@jamien8937]

I’ll always love you and cherish all the memories we’ve created together Henry

[@josyposy1626]

Mesmerising performance. I found myself transfixed. Thanks to Pat Fish aka The Jazz Butcher, for covering this song. RIP Pat, you've introduced me to alot of great songs such as this.

[@russiasgreatestexports4026]

I just found this song and a day into listening Modern Lovers. Where has this been all my life?!

[@davidhatred7275]

same is happening to me this week. i've loved roadrunner for years, its just took a while to find the time to dive on in!

[@Prousto]

Statues should be erected to Jonathan. Yet, the last time I saw him play live there were thirty people in the club - and he still played his heart out.

[@nickhatherly8660]

Yes, I’ve seen JR play to full rooms in London and Melbourne. In Bordeaux was what you described and he and Tommy were equally engaged and excellent.

[@JulianBashir-8472]

Yep. The man is a national treasure

[@kassandraayalasongs]

So comforting 🧸 in such scary times

[@JayGorham]

Wow, this is a beautiful version of this song! Lovin' baby Jonathan!

[@celianolan3837]

It’s his song!

[@acidfilth2007]

This is the jazzmaster I want.

[@PsychoPet3r]

[@flowerpower4065]

Did anyone die? 😅

[@PsychoPet3r]

well I certainly didnt hehe

[@ChrisP-sc9sf]

One of my favorite songs. Hits home.

[@duffgordon9005]

One of the greatest truths to learn is one cannot force another to love him/her. If yoiu force it, it will back=-fire. and possibly cost years in time.

[@eddieburrelli]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@carlohabets2112]

Zijn toegift op Pinkpop 78, mijn eerste festival op 15 mei. "This is a new song". De dag erna werd ik 14 jaar en Jonathan Richman 27 jaar.

[@colinrice6865]

Thank you Jonathan.

[@felipejaranda7332]

Don’t we all need affection

[@jaylawn2335]

Does anyone have a link to the chords for this song

[@Kolya33]

I guess this is the sort of heavy handed snottiness that Jojo laughed about in himself years later, when he heard the Bermuda Strollers. "Oh, we really are stiff!"

[@fredgarvinMP]

You could be right. Don't think we're gonna hear "Bang Bang Lula" in this set...

[@bobcrain5285]

He was talking about the earlier Modern Lovers band, not this one 😊

[@swaggytaggy4206]
