What does The Lone Pine Cones mean?

Jon Lesh: My grandpa was in the Vietnam War. He has fighting with Lieutenant Peter James and they were stuck in a ditch for a while. Apparently the Lieutenant Peter James started going crazy and there were a bunch of grenades left.

They were down to the last one … and Peter James started going insane and started thinking it was a pinecone. And then my grandpa said, ‘No it’s a real grenade. Don’t set it off.

It’s a real grenade. €™ And Peter James said, ‘No, it’s a lone pinecone,’ and he hurls it to the other side and apparently he saved them all and so he my grandpa told me the story and we were like, ‘All right. We’re naming our band after the lone pinecone.

€™ HN: If The Lone Pinecones were a lovechild of two bands, who would the parents would be? Matt Rhodes: One of the parents would be Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I would say the other would be Secret Machines.

HN: Who else are you influenced by? Ben Hughes: Queens of the Stone Age is a big one. Led Zeppelin.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
