In part 2 of the Supposed Killer Songs series, Tessa discusses Pearl Jam's song "Jeremy". Eddie Vedder wrote this song shortly after the suicide of a 15 year old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle. Jeremy walks into a classroom armed with a fire arm and takes his own life right in front of his teacher and classmates.
The music video is censored and makes it look like a school shooting instead of a suicide. Years after Jeremy's suicide a unstable 14 year old boy named Barry would walk into his classroom and shoot and kill 2 students and a teacher. He had a laundry list of scapegoats that included Stephen King and yes, Pearl Jam's Jeremy.
