When someone would die in the Vietnam War they would call it a `No Quarter'. I am not for sure why it is called that, but I can guarantee you that I will have more to post soon if I can get anyone interested in this theory. This notion alone will get you thinking about the song from a new and beautiful perception. I'm surprised I did not see this on the board. I'm sure it's been posted somewhere. My first interpretation of the song was and is still a general interpretation, but I didn't see it posted her either. Someone standing in the cold without a quarter for a pay phone, but since they were covering a Zeppelin song from the 70's then I would assume it could have cost less for a phone call. Does anyone know what the price of a local phone call was in the 70's? Led Zeppelin is out of the U.K. so please answer my question for both the American price and the U.K price estimate of what a call was then.
This interpretation to me makes perfect sense because the song was made around the time of the Vietnam War (I’m not for sure what time). I think one of the many reasons Tool would has covered it was because it could have been a personal favorite; it’s a very perceptive song (not to mention beautiful), and if you’ve lost a loved one in the Vietnam War it could become of use in Tool’s questionable psycho-therapy of lachrymalogy.
Thank you,
