Music Appreciation
Inspired by an event which occurred in Richardson, Texas, Eddie Vedder wrote the lyrics to Jeremy. The high school sophomore, Jeremy Wade Delle, shot himself dead with a .357-caliber Magnum in front of his English class.
The music video, which was directed by Mark Pellington, received four MTV Video Music Awards, including Best Video of the Year.
Prelude with images of news-clipping of teens and gun violence, the music video tells a story of a boy named Jeremy who was neglected and bullied who eventually "spoke in class."
