    A true YIH moment. Awesome.

    :D

    You could learn a thing or two from Dog Loyal.

    As far as the track by track thing goes, we could start by listening to the San Diego version of BRAIN OF J. Or LA2 perhaps? Or both? :D

    I think I redeemed myself with the thirteen days of YIELD.
    :D

    I think the point here is that everyone listens to their favorite versions and brings in the reasons why its their favorite. "I was there and kicking ass" works pretty well.

    that might be a bit much. what if someone can't make it?

    it should be an impromptu thing maybe?

    Well, understood. But just to put a start date on it I guess.

    23rd? Coupla Mondays.

    Yeah yeah, it was a joke. I'd love to listen to the pre-YIELD version of BRAIN OF J and then an after version to get both messages deciphered.

    Exactly.

    So why do you think they changed the lyrics for the record?

    Here's an interesting blog I found when looking for the old lyrics:

    http://fivevs1.wordpress.com/2007/05/14/brain-of-j/

    The “Brain of J” of 1995 (or “Brain of JFK” to fans of ye olde bootlegs) took an antagonistic stance toward the listener, a “with us or against us” point of view if you will (yikes!). By 1998, the song transformed to say that “The whole world will be different soon / The whole world will be relieved,” an optimistic outlook.

    He digresses on a stupid tangent for a second, then gets his brain back...

    But the more open, hopeful sentiment, though lodged in a still formidable, ferocious McCready-style punk song, does make more sense in the context of Yield, and the band’s evolving commitment to taking hold of its discontent and bending it towards making some kind of difference.

    I like that. Good research. :D

    I like the word 'bending,' I think that's what this is all about. Taking stock of the present and taking aim at the future and then realizing how the course will be charted to get between A and B.

    I think it was as simple as Ed realizing "Hey, I don't have to pissed off at everything. There is some hope in the world. Let's write about it!"

    this is so dead on. this song is like a time capsule. it literally charts the development of EV's ...if you will...evolution.

    the lyrics mirror the times in which they were written.

    the second part of this proves that we are not all crazy- others see it too! also, was the "go to hell if you dont believe it in the 95 version? I wasnt aware of this.
