Song of the Week: Jonathan Richman - Roadrunner (Once)

Revising work isn't just for mathematicians. Charles Dickens edited his novels for new editions, Henry James rewrote many of his novels late in life and musicians from Gustav Mahler to Joni Mitchell have revised or re-recorded their work as their perspectives changed.

Jonathan Richman recorded several versions of Road Runner including this one without his usual band, The Modern Lovers (despite what YouTube claims below). Richman described it as an ode to Massachusetts Route 128.

So when you are next driving late at night think of the Roadrunner.
