Eddie Vedder Talks About 'Jeremy'
Last year, Vedder's 1991 interview about the song "Jeremy" resurfaced. When asked if the song is about his childhood experience, Vedder said that the title was actually from a newspaper article.
"And then when I went to write about it, I thought of actually getting a hold of what the actual person it was written about, but then I thought that would be intruding. And I totally related because I had a very similar experience with a kid who I grew with. I didn't really grow up with; I just had a couple of instances with him and he ended to be a, you know, kind of a... I mean, he freaked out," said Vedder.
