There's Something About Jonathan

Tim Mitchell

Tim Mitchell, author of Sedition and Alchemy writes on the life of Jonathan Richman, one of the most intriguing figures in popular music. Mitchell explains why Richman may well deserve the the status of his contemporaries like Lou Reed and David Byrne, charting his progress at the epicentre of the New York avant-garde punk scene and reassessing his considerable achievements in music. Including interviews with members of the Modern Lovers and others close to Richman, this is a definitive portrait of the artist.
