Jonathan Richman continues to pursue his unique musical path, long after his band the Modern Lovers helped define the punk era in the 1970s. His career has included numerous solo albums, a major onscreen role in the hit movie There’s Something about Mary, and many appearances on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. He speaks with Eric Alan about his influences, his dislike of digital technology, and the beauty of English as a songwriting language. Includes music from his new 7" vinyl singles.
