"Is THAT the Lester B that Jesse Winchester sang about?"

In the version of "Tell Me Why You Like Roosevelt" on "Live at the Bijou Café" Jesse refers to him by his full name, "Lester B. Pearson" and also as "Mike Pearson" as he was sometimes called.

Lester B. Pearson won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1957 for his role in settling the Suez crisis.
