Bostonist Loves Jonathan Richman

You do know that Jonathan Richman is playing at the Middle East tonight, right? It's always fun to trace the influence that Richman's music has on writers, musicians, and filmmakers. Bostonist is unsure as to whether the show is sold-out or not, call our boys at the Middle East. The show was underpublicized and it's intimate, (relevant IMDB quote from our man, accuracy always questionable: "I like it when a gig is intimate. I don't think it's good to go out at night and have everything be all alienating, so if people come to the show, let's have some fun.") but then again, the man is a legend and has one of the best albums ever under his belt. Radio on!
