I saw this a while back and had intended on posting it on May 19th for Joey Ramone’s birthday. I hope he won’t mind me being a day late.
From May 19, 1998, Joey’s birthday party at Coney Island High.
Jonathan Richman starts out with “Roadrunner” and ends with “Happy Birthday”.
For some reason the thought that that video was already 10 years old, on top of Joey Ramone being dead, just really got me. Cool performance though–it’s always a pleasure to see J. Richman.
LOVE LOVE LOVE Jonathan Richman! He is coming to LA in another 2 weeks and I’m trying to figure out how I can get to his show without a car, and without any friends that dig him as much as I do.
