Unpacking Jonathan's Boston references; a travelogue of sorts

Interesting read about the geography of Boston as seen through a Jonathan Richman lens. Zachary Lamothe takes on the rather large task of spotting and explaining all Jonathan's Boston references over 50 years of activity, and bringing them to life for Bostonians and non-Bostonians alike.

  2. Yes, a great read! There was another reference to Brookline where he sings: "it could by Brooklyn or Brookline" (or the other way around), but I don't remember which song...
