Song to Contemplate: Jonathan Richman, Parties in the USA

When you think about it, Jonathan Richman is making a pretty absurd claim in this song: We need more parties in the USA. According to Miley Cyrus, we got 'em, and I saw plenty of them as an undergrad. But over the course of the song, singing haphazardly over the Hang on Sloopy every-rock-song-for-the-first-ten-years-of-the-genre-riff, and especially during his rant about modern stereo equipment, he sure convinces me. How about you?
