This song tells me how plugged into American culture and the big, important issues Eddie really is and always has been. With all the specials on this past week about the assassination of President Kennedy, the fact that this issue haunted Ed enough to write about it, just makes me love the band more. I realize JFK wasn't perfect, but he represented a sense of youth and hope, and when he was murdered, our collective innocence was shaken, if not lost. "The whole world will be different soon." Yes, it is.

I know most people who have posted on this thread have said the 1234-1234 bit but fuk I love it! All appreciation for the album opener is comin from me. **Bows down** VEDHEAD27 I totally agree... album openers don't get as much appreciation compared to most songs. Bring on the Brain Of JFK!
Mike says 1234 1234...It clearly sounds just like him.
And also Mike play the Open D guitar on this track and plays rhythm guitar as he wrote the riff. Stone plays all the lead(except that little riff before the bridge) including the solo.

as different as this song is than the rest of the album, it still fits so perfectly. when i drive back and forth from RI i always start with yield and i must look like an idiot to the people im driving near cause im jumping all around out of my seat...just cant control the pearl jam impulse.

Wishlist single live version at Melbourne Park will rock your socks...if the album version doesn't already rock enough for you. I love how it just sounds so crisp on the live version when the opening riff starts up. I also love it especially in SVT where Mike just start tearin it up during the solo and the rest of the band just keeps jammin as if its no big deal.

Anyone ever hear the original live version? A little more raw and crass. I prefer the Yield era version but the 95-96 performances are cool as well
hee hee hee! i agree. a great start that kicks you in the ass and makes you think......

the entire dynamic of it just ROCKS. its very rare to hear a band go so damn well together.
When I decide to play PJ this, along with Hail Hail and I am Mine, is the song I play first. Rock's one's socks.
Definitely a revving tune!
