Jonathan is mentioned in "Wait For It" by Aaron Burr, never by name. Aaron states that his "Grandfather was a fire and brimstone preacher," which refers to the teachings of God's wrath of the unfaithful. He goes onto say that "there are things that the homilies and hymns won't teach ya," meaning that he doesn't feel like you can live by that philosophy alone.
