(i'm reminded here of a snip from the liner notes from john wesley harding, where the question is asked, 'and just how far would you like to go in?', and there came the answer, 'not too far but just far enough so's we can say we've been there'.)" #reply-15199454"but something is happening here and you don't know what it is, do you, mr. jones" ...mr. jones is not the great misinformed, unknowing dunce that many believe. not hardly. jones is one of the ones who answers fearfully, "not too far but just far enough so's we can say we've been there" , when asked how far in he'd like to go. jones is like the child holding his hands over his eyes so he won't see. but he sneaks a peek through his fingers anyway, and thus the dylan taunt.... "but you don't know what it is, do you" . jones knows all right, but he wants nothing to do with what he sees!! he'd rather deny it. but bob won't let him squirm off the hook."that thin, wild mercury music" .
