| Ben Folds – Fred Jones Pt. 2 Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| @[xpankfrisst:28669] Toward the end of https://www.livefromhere.org/shows/2018/06/16/ben-folds-wye-oak-dave-hill , Folds introduces "Fred Jones, Pt. 2" as being about a hero of his growing up, the editor of a local newspaper who eventually got fired. Assume Folds wasn't messing with the audience, that'd mean these are likely two different "Fred Jones"es. The common name is presumably artistic license, the common thread being domestic desperation and the newspaper. Given that background, Folds no doubt agrees with Jones' resentment for being unceremoniously let go from a job he devoted most of his adulthood to. | |
