Pearl Jam - Jeremy
One of my two best friends in high school was Jeremy #1 (lastname withheld). My other best friend was Jeremy #2 (lastname withheld). All three of us would hang out together constantly. We were inseparable. We'd skip classes togther, we'd get drunk together, we'd go to local strip joints together, you name it. We did together what all up-to-no-good youngsters did.
The theme song of our ragtag group was Pearl Jam's Jeremy. I guess I was the honourary "Jeremy" (my name is not Jeremy).
When high school ended, Jeremy #1 took a trip away to do some mountain climbing. He got a job in a resort hotel in the mountains. We kept in touch, but not nearly as much as we should have. I still kept in touch with Jeremy #2, and I still do to this day (I was his best man at his wedding, and he was mine. Our children have a lot of fun when we get together).
Jeremy #1 died while doing some recreational mountain climbing. He fell a long way down. He was in his early twenties. I really miss him. We had a lot of good times together.
Yeah, I understand what the lyrics of Jeremy are all about. It doesn't matter.
