Jones. His new book, <em>Everything Is Everything: Tom Wilson and Pop Music in 1966</em>, is out now. It follows the Waco-born producer through sessions with Bob Dylan, Frank Zappa, the Velvet Underground, Sun Ra and many others.</p><p>We talk about the Batman record Steven bought at age seven, why some of Dylan’s booing was Tom Wilson’s fault, and why Wilson stood by Nico while the band pushed her out.</p><p>(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are “Batman Theme” from <em>Batman and Robin</em> by the Sensational Guitars of Dan and Dale, featuring Sun Ra; the Mothers of Invention’s “Help, I’m a Rock” and “Hungry Freaks, Daddy”; Bob Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone”; Simon &amp; Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence”; and Nico’s “Chelsea Girls”)</p><p>—</p><p><strong>Dig Deeper</strong></p><p>Author and Book:</p><ul><li>Visit Steven E.
