Jean Baptiste? Who are we talking about here?

I've always thought he was meaning John Baptist considering the lyrics of the song. But tonight I just read the lyrics listed on this site, and read Jean Baptiste.

Are we talking about that same Jean-Baptiste that proposed an addition to evolutionary theory?

I would appreciate any info on this, thanks.

The Maker was written by Daniel Lanois. A french canadian singer/songwriter, producer. He was refering to John Baptist or in french, Jean Baptiste. The Maker was a song in his 1989 album, Acadie. He often mixed english and french in his songs.

Wow, thanks a whole bunch.

Ive been keeping an eye on Lanois for a while. The man produced U2, Dylan, and Dave loves him. Not to mention he produced the greatest album ever made in Joshua Tree.

I didnt catch on that Jean Baptiste would be french. Thanks for the help.
