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!

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.

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.

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. “

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.

The only other song to equal these two, from around the same time would be Hey Jealousy from the Gin Blossoms.

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.

"Long December," my man. Masterful portrayal of emotional exhaustion and emptiness, and the struggle for hope.

The coolest thing about this song is that just by creating it, all of his ambitions came to life. The video was played all the time on television, Duritz became a star, and started dating beautiful women like Courtney Cox.

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

"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.

Love them the vocals are awesome. . A Long December is one of my favs of theirs. Wow your dream about the shoes reminds me of dreaming I could have store bought dresses. My mom made all my clothes until I was 11. Now I appreciate how great a seamstress she was.

I just can never get over the picture this song paints, that even references itself with the lines about colors and Picasso, here are these two guys, drinking in a bar after a long day, getting so lost in how great it would be to be a star that they are debating the relative funkiness of Bob Dylan...
