    i'll bump this just cause of my love for Brain of J.

    Saddest day of my PJ career was being so wasted before Camden I '03 that i passed out under a tree in front of the venue and woke up to make it to my seats as Brain of J was ending. :(

    FYI a small bit of trivia for folks who may have no clue ... Single Video Theory is a play on JFK conspiracy, in that it is borrowed from the phrase, "Single Bullet Theory" which is the official Warren Commission position on how Kennedy was killed. Specificaly it is the single bullet (CE 399) that made it through kennedy's body (upper back and out his throat) and in to the Govenor's back, out his chest, off his hand and in to his thigh. The bullet was found on a stretcher in Parkland hopsital and was nearly pristine, even after having allegedly knocked out a rib and shattered a radius.

    :D

    This song is outrageous. In the live boots I've heard it doesn't sound quite as good as the studio, but it still rocks. It's a great opener for Yield... the second "1234 1234" into the riff is killer!

    Why isn't that song called "Brain of J.F.K"? It'd be a better title.

    Whoever has the brain of JFK, it's no good anymore. It's like Ed's voice. Shot.

    That's got to be one of the funniest (and truest) things I've ever read in this place. Nice to see someone else looks at reality.

    Wow. That's sick.
    Funny. But sick. :D
    Dallas = Where JFK was shot.
    1 bullet. 2 slushies down. Zig zagging bullet.
    you're right. pretty obvious. :D

    I think you miss the point. The reason JFK's brain was (and still would be) important is that proper autopsy of it could unequivocaly prove from what direction and how many bullets passed through his skull.

    Think about it.
    a minute 30 ... he goes slightly forward (shot from behind), then slams back (shot from the knoll)
    Parkland photo. Before flight to Bethesda. Unaltered body. Fairly clear bullet hole visible in right side of temple
    Photo from bethesda autopsy. After right side of forehead shaved. flap of skin pulled over and sutured to cover hole
    There is a reason the brain of JFK went missing.

    A more appropriate question might be, as Eddie posits, "Whose got the brain of JFK, and whats it mean to us now?"

    :D
