What does JTR stand for?

Thanks.
Answer -
JTR stands for John The Revelator.  Thanks for your question!

What's the insight behind that?

Answer
JTR was originally a song called "John The Revelator", which Dave wrote with Carlos Santana. Dave & Carter recorded a studio version of this song with Santana during the "Supernatural" sessions - though only "Love Of My Life" actually made the album.  Over the years, it went from "John The Revelator" to JTR.  You may see or hear different versions of this song, with some different lyrics.  JTR was written as a love song.  Carlos Santana suggested the "John The Revelator" line that originally appeared in the song.  It's a calling out to a loved one, who may be unattainable.  Hope this helps!  Thanks for your question!
