About this Quote
In this quote, Jonathan Richman is explaining an efficiency chance that was provided to him and his band by Andy Paley. Paley, who is likely an artist or band member himself, invited Richman's band to open for his own band at a show. The program was set to happen at Simmon's College, an outside location, on a Friday. This chance was likely a huge break for Richman and his band, as opening for a more recognized band can bring exposure and new fans. The fact that it was an outside show adds to the enjoyment and capacity for a great performance.
