Before school shootings became a thang!

When I was in college in the 80s, I had a friend that worked (volunteered) as a late night DJ at the college radio station. My roommate and I would call and request that this song be played:



I don't think this song would be allowed today at the college radio station.

School shootings have been a thing for a while ...

Bombings too

And lest we forget

And lest we forget

But who is Johny?

I remember the video to Jeremy by Pearl Jam where at the end the boy goes into class and shoots himself in front of his classmates. Try getting THAT played on TV today.

At home
Drawing pictures
Of mountain tops
With him on top
Lemon yellow sun
Arms raised in a V

Dead lay in pools of maroon below
Daddy didn't give attention
To the fact that mommy didn't care
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world

Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today
Clearly I remember
Pickin' on the boy

Seemed a harmless little fuck
But we unleashed a lion
Gnashed his teeth

And bit the recess lady's breast
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise left
My jaw left hurting

Dropped wide open
Just like the day
Like the day I heard
Daddy didn't give affection

And the boy was something mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Ruled his world
Jeremy spoke in class today
Jeremy spoke in class today

Try to forget this,
Try to erase this,
From the blackboard.

Manager/bouncer of dive bar we used to play at liked this song. I hated it, thought it was cheesy and stupid.
