For those of you who dont know.... This song is about a boy who kills himself at school to get revenge on the students who tormented him. It is based on the true story of Jeremy Delle, a 16 year old who killed himself in front of his English class at Richardson High School in Richardson, Texas on January 8, 1991. Eddie Vedder found out about Jeremy when he read an article an article about the incident in the Dallas Morning News, which read: Because he had missed class, the teacher in his second-period English class told Jeremy to get an admittance slip from the school office. Instead, he returned with the gun, police said. He walked directly to the front of the classroom. Miss, I got what I really went for, he said, then placed the barrel in his mouth and fired. The article adds that three Richardson students committed suicide in 1988. (thanks, Stephanie - Ellicott City, MD)
