“Ballad of a Thin Man” (aka “Mr. Jones”) by Bob Dylan is/was the Peace Song of the Day for December 18th.

Augustus, The Duke of Peace, would like to dedicate this song to all those who judge before they listen.

Excerpt from the lyrics

…You’ve been with the professors
And they’ve all liked your looks
With great lawyers you have
Discussed lepers and crooks
You’ve been through all of
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s books
You’re very well read
It’s well known.
*

But something is happening here
And you don’t know what it is
Do you, Mister Jones?
