I wanna drink a beer with everyone who knows this song. The fact that this was released in 72 melts my mind, you can hear the Modern Lovers echo in bands like The Strokes, Franz Ferdinand, early Arctic Monkeys, I could go on. Everyone talks about how the VU inspired the Modern Lovers, but we should also talk about how influential they are in their own right. They were revolutionary

@@dholwaycongrats on being technically correct. if you wanna nitpick; recorded 1972, first issued 1976. Still quite influential on the same generation of bands the op mentioned.

The band's drummer is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He left in the mid 70s and ended up in another Boston band called The Cars. Maybe you've heard of them.

I was talking with my daughter last summer. We used to live in/around Boston until 1995. She told me Road Runner was a favorite song of hers, which I didn't know since she was born in the 80's. We went back and listened to the whole record and I was thinking this was the first "rock Opera" if you will. The theme of sanity/insanity, love and rejection flows through all the songs wrapped in a vision of the world (Boston) in the 1970's. But still, the record is timeless. Isn't it. We have not escaped the insanity of the 70's. Just reliving in a different form in the 20's

Boston's own Velvet Underground. I was in college in Bean Town from 76 to 80. I have never seen such an explosion of new bands playing original music like that since. I wish I knew where I stashed my trove of Xeroxed band posters. We used to travel back and forth to NYC and I swear the scene was better in Boston.

The Velvet's influence in Boston in the end of 60's and begging of the 70's was evident

Beautiful. This version and the montage of period home movies. The images are dead on authentic from where the song refers to and when it was made; end of the 60s - beginning the first years of 70s. This striking, wholly original vision & voice was a Godsend

Demonstrably years ahead of their time; this (and the rest of the classic bebut album) sounds so 'punk' it's uncanny. A pity the 1971-72-73 sessions weren't publicly released until 1976, but then by that time 'The Modern Lovers' sounded thoroughly contemporary with the Heartbreakers, Patti Smith, Pere Ubu, the Sex Pistols, and the Voidoids et al. Monumental album, great song.

"The modern world is not so bad, not like the students say." Ever since this song was made, and even back a few years from that, the propagandizing of the schools has been inimical to anybody daring to say, as Jonathan does, "I'm in love with the USA." His proposed solution, dropping out, is as good advice today as it was back then.
