Jonathan Richman played a Fender Strat which he never plugged in. They still sounded great. I saw what may have been their last gig as a band in New York in early 1974.

While the single "roadrunner (once)", i take it, was the same version lifted from the original 1976 album, it appeared with two different flipsides on release - "pablo picasso" and another version of "roadrunner" attributed solely (i think) to jr. Any idea whether this version from the castle/sanctuary release is no. 2 or 3 ?

And I was randomly humming songs from it this morning in the shower. Get out of my head! Second, anyone who's heard the new M.I.A. album knows that album opener "Bamboo Banga" starts off with lyrics lifted straight from "Roadrunner." Great stuff.
