For some reason a lot of people knocked this record when it came out. Why? I love it. In fact I think it's one of his strongest and most mature efforts

O Moon has grown on me but I'm still having a hard time connecting with it. Not a bad album but JR seems like he's in a holding pattern with the last few releases. None of them are bad but the last few albums seem a bit to similar to each other.

Wow...seems like only a few months ago.The song "I Was the One She Came For" is probably the most common song from this album to get stuck in my head.

These Bodies,I Was The One She Came For,We'll Be The Noise We'll Be The Scandal,The Bitter Herb,My Affected Accent are my favorites.

O Moon, Queen of Night on Earth

Creative Alliance at the Patterson. I recorded this and it was a cool show. It was in an auditorium kind of feel as there were chairs setup so everyone sat.

The opening act was not able to appear, so Jonathan started the show early which made the opening part of the concert more fresh or off-the-cuff (cool feel)

A pretty good two set show. With Tommy Larkins

What could be said about this song? For me it's the epitome of Jonathan Richman

I hope that Bohemia shows up on the next album but aren't there quite a few excellent JR songs that never appeared on any of his albums?

Some unreleased recent songs: Mr. Sorrow, Bohemia, Her Love Is From Somewhere Else, Hard Time Saying Goodbye, Italian Party Song, Hebrew Party Song (barbeque), Keith Richards. There's even a few that I'm missing
