Brain of J

Really this song, but don't really know what it means. Would love to hear some interpretations. Did it have something to do with the rumors of JFK's preserved brain being stolen from the Smithsonian or something like that? I remember hearing something about it, but don't remember much about it.

    yeah i heard it was stolen too. I think the song is about just saying forget about the Kennedys already.

    His brain was stolen, along with Jack's rubies and the thieves got away on the Magic Bullet Train.

    Or so I'm lead to believe.

    yeah man, i totally agree. the kennedys are pop culture, but let's get over it and "the whole world will be different soon". I really love this song though, it's one of PJ's most rockin' songs and i love the tempo and the way jack is drumming. the bridge is sick too, jeff throws down some sweet melodies underneath the guitar and eddie's voice. bottom line, there is a message that we all know.

    stand behind the stripes
    there will be order
    so give up your mind


    God I LOVE those lines!

    Yeah definitely agree what the songs about. Also remembering reading that the "The whole world will be different" refers to a quote said by a news reporter after JFK was shot.

    This song rules! :D One of the best rockers from the band imo.
    Such a groovin ass kicker.

    Eddie's voice is fierce as hell.
    Oh and...loooove that solo. ;):D
