This song is awesome..... I dont care what it's about but Pearl Jam makes a perfect tribute to the Ramones machine gun playing style....

an other interpretation: compare the brain of jfk to planet earth and compare the bullet to a big astroid. the whole world will be different soon; will not be there anymore when the atroid strikes in. in my opinion this interpretation is a good follow up for the song do the evolution.

"The whole world will be different soon. The whole world will be relieved". Relieved....now isn't that referring to a good thing? And about Hitler that is true, but is it possible he was born with one testicle? And why take his testicle?
