In part 2 of the Supposed Killer Songs series, Tessa discusses Pearl Jam's song "Jeremy". Eddie Vedder wrote this song shortly after the suicide of a 15 year old boy named Jeremy Wade Delle. Jeremy walks into a classroom armed with a fire arm and takes his own life right in front of his teacher and classmates. The music video is censored and makes it look like a school shooting instead of a suicide. Years after Jeremy's suicide a unstable 14 year old boy named Barry would walk into his classroom and shoot and kill 2 students and a teacher. He had a laundry list of scapegoats that included Stephen King and yes, Pearl Jam's Jeremy.

It shows the traditional East European method of eliminating presumed vampires, by exhuming the suspect corpse and driving a wooden or iron stake through its heart. The engraving also shows a fiery explosion coming out of the vampire (depicted here as a "clean" skeleton, with all signs of decomposition already gone), an element sometimes present in Belarussian and Ukrainian folklore (for example in Adam Mickiewicz's poem "Upiór").

On the fourth day of December, Kara McCoy gained her angel wings. This woman was the fiercest warrior and bad ass fighter I have ever known. Grown men couldn't deal with what she went through, for so long. Hospice gave her a couple days, she lasted almost an entire year. This episode is dedicated to Kara "The Real Deal" McCoy. You will hear tributes from others, funny stories, audio of Kara herself and so much more. Another episode will be released in the near future. Did you now Kara? Do you have something to share? email Tessa at paraprowl@gmail.com or find her and message her on Facebook.
