DUDE....Just saw a song I hadnt heard in years. 1975. Jefferson Starship(during the 60s they were Jefferson Airplane)....."Miracles"...its a slow song, about love....but its a classic, I know you would dig the tune and the lyrics. and the song strikes such emotion....much like Mr Jones here today.... Enjoy!

[@jasonremy1627]

This whole album "August and Everything After" is very special to me. One of my top albums of all time. It's a perfect record. It got me through some hard times in college and holds a special place for me. The song "Anna Begins" will still make me weep 25 years later. Everything on this album is amazing. The hits, the deep cuts, everything is so good.

I've consider this my theme song for years. Most people don't understand it, because I'm an introvert. But I've always dreamed of being well known and well loved. As the song says, "We all want to be big, big stars, yeah But we got different reasons for that" Mine is "When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely"

[@imagine1004]

Hell yeah. Big socially distant hug from Detroit.

[@emmyandboo]

Same!!! I'm an introvert totally, but I daydream about singing or performing in front of tons of people!

[@CharlesDunkley]

Adam mentions how he wants to be Bob Dylan. The name Mr. Jones is a hat tip to Bob Dylan's song Ballad of a Thin Man, which is one of Dylan's best.

[@Susana.Ventura]

I think he says “meet Bob Dylan” but I could be wrong

[@TheSirpatrick33]

The Beatles also reference Diary of a Thin Man in the song "Yer Blues" with the lyric "I feel so suicidal, just like Dylan's Mr. Jones."

[@TheKitai09]

Fun fact: Adam Duritz says the lyrics were originally “I wanna be Alex Chilton” (from The Box Tops and... Big Star) but didn’t think enough people would recognize the name (for shame!) so he changed it to Bob Dylan.

[@Susana.Ventura]

Sean Mackey you very well could be. 😁👍🎃

[@Riddy3015]

Although that connection exists, he didn’t do that on purpose. Mr Jones was a real person. Adam was in a band and their bass player was named Marty Jones.

[@myaramiu]

Holy shit Jamaal when you said your dream about the shoes, I legitimately started to cry. Those kind of realistic point of views from average people you look up to really hit hard, because it makes it more relatable. When I was a kid I legitimately dreamed of having a bunch of friends because I really didn't have any. Thank you for your channel and words of wisdom, Jamaal.

Counting Crows live is a must see. Adam Duritz is deep, puts his whole soul into his performance and never sings the songs the same way twice.

[@neildavies2276]

I couldn't disagree more - elsewhere I've explained that when I saw them promoting this album, they messed with the songs so much that they were unrecognisable. I was expecting so much and they delivered so little.

[@irishgrl]

This song recounts a night where “Mr Jones” & Adam Duritz (the singer) were hanging out at a bar (New Amsterdam) where Mr Jones’ father was playing flamenco & that Spanish dancer Maria was performing with him. Adam & Mr Jones noticed that the drummer in Chris Isaak’s band was in another part of the room surrounded by women, & they began to fantasize about how cool it would be to break into the rock scene & be popular & surrounded by groupies…it’s basically a recounting of that night, of the dreams of hitting it big….very ironic that a song about making the big time actually became the Counting Crows big breakout hit.

[@jeffstevens4262]

It's always great to hear the background to some really great music, so many thanks. Now, the lyrics make perfect sense. Love this track and always have done.

I relate to this song so much. Mr.Jones is that alter ego everyone has. That side of you that is energetic, confident and willing to take a chance. Maybe even more when a brother has a couple drinks. And the other personality being a little more timid and reserved. Just a good song about him telling a story about himself and his alter ego "Mr.Jones".

[@colinbrash]

My impoverished single mother splurged for Christmas and bought me a CD player and three albums: Counting Crows - August and Everything After, Green Day - Dookie, and REM - Out of Time. Mr. Jones resonated in the way you described.. I dreamed of me (and my mother and sister) being out of this situation. I listened to this album the most of the three. Listening brought back good memories, but hearing you talk about your own childhood brought back more. Thank you. I just clicked on this because I hadn’t heard the song in a while. But your reaction isn’t superficial, you shared something real about you and your reaction was as impactful as listening to this song again.That isn’t common. Subscribed.

His imaginary friend he sees when he's hammered ?

[@TheKitai09]

Dave Bentley no, Marty Jones is a real person and a friend of Duritz. Whole song is based on an actual event. “On an episode of VH1's Storytellers, Adam explained: "It's really a song about my friend Marty and I. We went out one night to watch his dad play, his dad was a Flamenco guitar player who lived in Spain (David Serva), and he was in San Francisco in the mission playing with his old Flamenco troupe. And after the gig we all went to this bar called the New Amsterdam in San Francisco on Columbus and we got completely drunk. And Marty and I sat at the bar staring at these two girls, wishing there was some way we could go talk to them, but we were too shy. We kept joking with each other that if we were big rock stars instead of such loser, low-budget musicians, this would be easy. I went home that night and I wrote a song about it. I joke about what it's about, that story. But it's really a song about all the dreams and all the things that make you want to go into doing whatever it is that seizes your heart, whether it's being a rock star or being a doctor or whatever. “

"Me and Mr. Jones" This song is a recollection of his diminished sober self and his relationship with his super energized high profile extrovert high self. It's an answer to the question, "Why do you like to get high?" His desire to be loved and "never be alone" is something he doesn't feel he can achieve as his normal self, but for Mr. Jones all these things come naturally. It's very much a Jekyll and Hyde situation.

Suggest you go back to Dylan's "Ballad of a Thin Man" and his Mr. Jones as the inspiration for this song.

Adam Duritz is a poet, man. His stories are so profound and real. Put that together with the groove the band creates and its magic.

Jamel, you should check out the band 311 and their song "Down". You would love it. They groove, vibe and flow. You def need to hear this band.

This is one of my very favorite songs of all time, yet it is the first time I am seeing the music video :) Great reaction!
