content: I first heard Jonathan Richman in the movie "There's Something About Mary" but at the time I wasn't as interested in music and didn't seek him out for a better listen. Many many years later, my uncled played the album "I, Jonathan" in the very somber setting of his son's memorial service. This was music my cousin liked. For that reason I will always have bittersweet feelings about these songs, but I think it also proves how bright and happy they truly are. You really can't help but move around. Like my uncle said, "It's like being in a popcorn popper!"
