My buddy in Israel Elli Wohlgelernter points out a boner in my interview with our mutual pal Winston Pickett. I quoted Winston as saying:

“I would be remiss if I didn’t say, and not simply on a level of self-interest, that ‘Something is happening and you don’t know what it is, do you, Mrs. Jones?’”

As Elli points out, Dylan’s “Ballad of a Thin Man” refers to MR. Jones, not Mrs. As for MRS. Jones, she appears in Billy Paul’s 1972 hit “Me and Mrs. Jones.”

I’ll take the blame — Winston probably got it right, and I mashed the two songs together.
