Description

Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers' 1972 song โ€œRoadrunnerโ€ captures the freedom and wonder of cruising down the highway late at night with the radio on. Although the song circles Boston's beltway, its significance reaches far beyond Richman's deceptively simple declarations of love for modern moonlight, the made world, and rock & roll. In Roadrunner, cultural theorist and poet Joshua Clover charts both the song's emotional power and its elaborate history, tracing its place in popular music from Chuck Berry to M.I.A. He also locates โ€œRoadrunnerโ€ at the intersection of car culture, industrialization, consumption, mobility, and politics. Like the song itself, Clover tells a story about a particular time and placeโ€”the American era that rock & roll signifiesโ€”that becomes a story about love and the modern world.
