I actually enjoy that song, it's nice to jam out to while driving. Although...it took me a few listens to realize it's about a kid going crazy and shooting people at school with his dads revolver.

That's...kinda...not a very good theme for a song. And they make it sound like school shootings are fun. I don't really understand why they wrote it...but hey..it was on the charts for a pretty long time.

The artist was just singing about what's going on with kids.

Kinda like Pearl Jam's Jeremy or Soul Asylums Runaway Train.

Actually, now that I have been listening to that group, “Foster The People”, I really like their music. Not just the first song of theirs that was mentioned, but the rest (hit YouTube and check out “Foster the People”. The videos are really cool!)


That's where I'd start asking "what does this have to do with school?", or writing N/A on the form.
Did that. No luck. And of course it’s a long story.


I don't really care much for the whole "trying to predict" who may be a school shooter. even if you limit your search. it's impossible to determine who may in fact be a school shooter.

compare these photos


Which is a school shooter?
take your guess... And I'll tell you who's who...
The first one, of course. Clean cut, trying to fit in to the mold society made for him. The next one, I don’t know if he’s sane, but I think he’s got a better grasp on life than the first kid. Good attitude, being who he wants to be and not giving a rats butt who approves.

Where have I seen that circle-a-md.pngbefore?

He is obviously a gun nut who frequents Open Carry.org.

...that's why I posted the link to the "lyrics" version of the song.

If you want some fun with the song at a drive-in -- while you're out jammin' -- try this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZq1MBtzgKM


...but we're getting somewhat OT, aren't we.

You're right, the first picture is Eric Harris, the columbine shooter, and the second picture is... some guy who I actually know and yes he's very sane, and a real non-violent type of person.

I can't even find a real doctor. All I can find is a nurse practitioner, and half the time I think I know more about medicine than he does.
