Mr. Jones with Stephen C. James

Trivia. Plaques. San Francisco. A titan of random facts and esoteric knowledge, Myster Jones explores a life of knowing stuff juxtaposed with the truth of knowing oneself. Douglas and Myster Jones talk about the wonders of sleeping outdoors, the awkwardness of dating apps and whether throwing people out of buildings is good children’s television in the Anthem of Myster Jones. Enjoy.OUR GUEST: Stephen C. JamesStephen C. James is an improvisor, podcaster, actor, and teacher who has run a middle school theater program for two decades. He can be found performing onstage in any part of Los Angeles that he feels is worth driving to and can be heard on Wednesdays weekly on the Super Legit Podcast.   Stephen is not very active on social media, but if he pops up in your local buy-nothing group a mention of this podcast will certainly guarantee you get whatever he’s trying to offload that day. THE SONG: Mr. Jones by The Counting CrowsMr. Jones is the debut single from the American band Counting Crows.  The song was written by Adam Duritz and Counting Crows and was their first radio hit.  It reached #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped the band gain a wide fanbase as well as a Grammy nomination. The song was inspired by Adam Duritz’s experiences while living in San Francisco.  The lyrics reflect his feeling of alienation and a desire for fame and recognition (and girls) as a struggling musician. “Mr. Jones” refers to a real person, Marty Jones, who was a friend of Adam Duritz and a fellow musician. In live performances, Adam Duritz often changes the lyrics of the song, adding improvised verses or referencing current events.  This has become a trademark of the band’s live shows.
