My SIL has never heard of Jonathan Richman
The disturbing things you learn at family gatherings.

That's why I'm taking a break from the one that's going on in my house right now.

1. So... This Jonathan Richman fellow... Is that a name I should recognize?
It's not really ringing a bell with me right now. :shrug:

7. There's something about Mary....
I think it's that she favors Cameron Diaz.

Hahaha.

8. That's how the conversation started
She mentioned Bret Favre's appearance in that movie.

I said I couldn't believe Jonathan Richman was in that movie.

She said who's that?

10. saw him at Monsoon's in Flagstaff Arizona in 1992 give or take
Edited on Sun Oct-14-07 11:54 PM by abq e streeter
just him and a drummer (or was it a bass player; anyway, just a duo) great show... lucky to catch it; I was just on my way to L.A. and stopped for the night. One of many quirky, unique artists who achieved a cult following but nothing more. Most people who know him now know him as the minstrel in the overrated There's Something About Mary. Just watched " That Summer Feeling" on you tube a couple of nights ago. ( not a performance video unfortunately; just the song with pictures) A sometimes silly, yet hauntingly beautiful song.

13. But does she know about Pablo Picasso?
You know, he was never called an asshole.
