Jonathan writes a book.

Actually, that title's pretty misleading. I'm a jerk that way. But don't you wish it was true?

In all truth, there is a book coing out June 1st. Hal Leonard is publishing the "Jonathan Richman Songbook", which has 21 songs of Jonathan's for your own playing pleasure, I assume on guitar, but the website isn't telling me. (See? Jonathan wrote the songs, the songs got made into a book, so Jonathan kind of wrote a book! Sorry, I'm terrible). It is available from Tower Books and Amazon, among other places, I imagine. Our European friends can pick it up at Amazon for England, France, and okay apparently there is no Amazon España. Seriously?

Have a great weekend, and those of you in the U.S., enjoy Memorial weekend.
