Counting Crows

As far as symbolism goes crows are a pretty mixed bag. To some they are the sacred messengers of spirits or deities and signs of good fortune, to others, they are an omen of bad luck, sorrow, and death. Witches have been divinating the crow's message, through various methods, for centuries and perhaps the most notable of these is the practice of counting crows. Granted, there are several variations of this, handed down through poems and literature, but what about counting crows as an in depth divination method?

my biggest question about Mr. Jones actually and one that wasn't addressed adequately in the podcast is the lyric "I wanna be Bob Dylan / Mr. Jones wishes he were someone just a little more funky". this has always puzzled me because Bob Dylan is very funky to me. to me funkiness is sort of a hippie vibe, unless we're talking about Funk the music genre, but I don't think we are. but I'm not sure what the protagonist means by "funky" in this context. I assume the counting crows are probably all Gen X, what is Gen X's relationship to the word "funky"? who would be an example of a person more "funky" than Bob Dylan?

okay guys

i want y'all to be completely honest with yourself,and stay true to canon

...would your favorite/comfort character like your music taste?

bc me personally I don't believe Kurt or Scott would particularly like logic,the Hamilton soundtrack,but they might like all American rejects and counting crows

idk it's funny to think ab
