1984 Singles # 38 Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers

 


I saw Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers around the tim this came out. At a North London venue with my brother and sister. It was a memorable experience for any number of reasons. Just being in Jonathan's copany for one thing. He was and remains a one off. He maintains the child inside and it's a joy to behold and share.

There was an extended version of Ice Cream Man  which threatened to never end. I'm sure no one present would have minded if it hadn't. I'm just glad I was there. Before the set my ears pricked up when The Byrds Have You Seen Her Face was played. I went out and bought Younger Than Yesterday shortly thereafter. The gog itself was magical.
