TOOL - Jimmy

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.
