Heritage

Richman has been influential in two fields, first affecting American Punk with the work he did in the first incarnation of the Modern Lovers. His music since then has set the tone for any number of quirky "college rock" acts like Violent Femmes, They Might Be Giants, Weezer, and solo Frank Black.
