Jonathan Richman and the Modern Lovers' 1972 song "Roadrunner"
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 "Roadrunner" at the intersection of
car culture, industrialization, consumption, mobility, and
politics. Like the song itself, Clover tells a story about a
particular time and place-the American era that rock & roll
signifies-that becomes a story about love and the modern world.
