Jonathan Richman. A talent so natural. A man with innate sense showmanship. An artist with a depth and a taste, which make his otherwise simply naive themes transcendent and enduring. His exuberance is infections.

Spontaneous, raw talent. Absolutely no artifice. He's got the instincts of a natural showman and the heart of a true artist.

What a great clip - Cale laughs & Jonathan is just... Jonathan. :)

He's creating a subtle tremolo effectwith his hand.

Does he say "you little beauty!" at the end? Brilliant

Haha. I thought I heard it too.

"Stoned! Like Hippie Johnny. I'm straight! And I would like to take his place. I'm straight! Not like Hippie Johnnie is." Hippie Johnny is John Cale! Wahahaha. I made myself laugh.

JOHN CALE WAS SO STONED! Wow. He's wearing those shades for a reason.

How stoned was John Cale! Oh I know what those shades are for.
