Jonathan Richman's diatribe against all things stoned starts tonight's showÌý and I loved hearing the story that he used to stand up in Cambridge Common in Massachussetts and shout out that he wasn't stoned, he wasn't a hippie. This was the late 1960s when I can only assume that he was surrounded by those of a hippie persuasion, presumably sitting on the grass. Hiding itÌýin case the cops came, as theÌýjoke goes.ÌýAs an old punk rocker, in both senses of the world,Ìý Jonathan's words cheer me up and make me want to play his records even more. Of course, many of those hippies went on to invent things that we now use to listen to the Modern Lovers today. Not that JR would have any truck with such items, of course.
