Résumé
Jonathan Richman lives his music first and foremost in the moment : he favours his brand new songs and the exchange with his audience at his concerts. He has released many records but rarely ponders this past : the few reissues are done without his unput, there are no "deluxe" versions of his albums and no retrospective box sets. This means that even some of his fans only have a truncated knowledge of his output : some are only interested in the first incarnation of The Modern Lovers, others only have ears for the Beserkley era or discovered him with the There's something about Mary film.
"Our time is now"presents a panorama of a half century of Jonathan Richman songs, from "The new teller " to "Cold pizza".
