Ray wondered: >Are the Mr. Jones in Me and Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul, the one in the Mining >Disaster by the BeeGees, the one in Ballad of a Thin Man, and the one in >Counting Crows Mr. Jones all the same guy? Dunno, but I always thought of Talking Heads' "Mr. Jones" (from 1988's NAKED) as the happy-ending sequel to "Ballad Of A Thin Man," in which the banal businessman succeeds on his own terms. I don't remember if Byrne ever said as much in interviews; maybe I'm just nuts. Drew np: nothing , but I suddenly want to play my Ray Wonder discs.
