SOMEONE I CARE ABOUT

Well I don't want just a girl to fool around with / Well I don't want just a girl to ball alright / What I want is a girl that I care about / Or I want nothing at all.
 / Alright -  Well I won't pretend I like a girl if I really don't / And act like she's great when she makes me feel appalled / All I want is a girl that I care about
Or I want nothing at all. - Well I don't want some cocaine sniffing triumph in the bar / Well I don't want a triumph in the car / I don't want to make a rich girl crawl / What I want is a girl that I care about / Or I want no one at all / Alright, listen to this now. - Picture this: I'm walking with my girlfriend / 28 misguided souls combined say, "We're moving in" / There's a certain kind of girl that you care about so much / You say, "I don't care what you guys do to me, but her, DON'T TOUCH!" -  'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with / I don't want just a girl to ball / What I want is a girl that I care about / Or I want nothing at all / Oh alright - Well I don't want a girl to fool around with no / I don't want just a girl to ball no / What I want is a girl that I care about / Or I want nothing at all. - Alright, gentlemen.

強納森里奇曼(Jonathan Richman)，一九五一年生於美國波士頓； 後來在七○年代早期加入了「 Modern Lovers 」，這個樂團是70年代曇花一現的龐克樂隊，成員有Jonathan Richman、後來Talking Heads的Jerry Harrison和the Cars的David Robinson等，陣容不可謂不強。這是該樂隊的首張專輯，錄製於1972年，但一直拖到1976年才正式發行，此時樂隊已經處於半解散狀態，許多重要 成員都離隊達兩年之久了，因此專輯在商業上基本上沒有什麼成就。但這張專輯還是得到樂評界的較高評價，被認為是70年代龐克的最優秀代表作之一。對後來的龐客、新浪潮以及另類與獨立音樂有著深遠影響。
該團曲風受the Velvet Underground的影響較深，與同時代的MC5和The Stooges相比，更注重旋律，基本上不使用尖厲的吉他噪音，更容易為大眾所接受。
本專輯在滾石雜誌評出的500張歷代最強專輯中排名第381位。這張唱片裡的音樂，具備一種令人感到神祕且深刻切割的力量。 Jonathan Richman 所塑造出的世界中，時光和空間彷彿脫離了自身的本質，「古老的世界」與「現代的世界」和諧地並存，呈現初一個年輕美國男孩對周遭環境千奇百怪的觀察與渴望。這種形象，敏感卻又粗礪而熱情洋溢，未經修飾的浪漫想望，赤裸地展現在世人眼前：「 Someone I Care About 」和「 Girlfriend 」兩首歌，就是他對現代愛情的理念原型。這種理念，可以是毫無愛意、純然性慾取向的生理需求，也可以是柏拉圖式的純潔精神情愛，一切都端視個人當時的心理而定……這樣的愛情觀，相當有趣...Jonathan 顯然樂觀許多，在生命中依舊充滿了許多期待。
有人說「Jonathan Richman looked like Dustin Hoffman and moved like Mick Jagger 」，靦腆和激昂的雙重個性，在他們的音樂中表露無遺。
