G46. "Intermission" sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?

> Yep, it's just a keyboard version of the main riff to "jimmy."

G47. Who is this "Eleven" guy he keeps talking about in "jimmy"?

> The singer is referring to himself at age eleven. Go listen to the song again, it will make a motherload more sense now.

G48. OK, but who the heck is "jimmy" anyhow?!

> All you get is a hint: he's listed in the liner notes. Read 'em slowly. Don't give up.

G49. So "jimmy" is from Ohio, then?

> Yup, he spent some amount of his childhood there. At shows in Ohio, he mentioned a small town called Ravenna. Happy hunting.

G50. Why is "jimmy" written in lowercase?

> (It really is, look closely). Because he's just a kid.

G51. I heard somewhere that "jimmy" was about how Maynard's mother died when he was 11.

> This "fact", reported in Rolling Stone magazine, was actually just a (big) mistake on their part; Maynard's mother is still alive. They did print a retraction later.
