This song memorialized the Dwyer incident



I feel like Patrick is being inauthentic about this being about Dwyer; I think it's about Cobain....this doesn't read like something about an unknown state politician:


I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late
What you could've taught me
I could've saved some face
They think that your early ending was all wrong
For the most part they're right
But look how they all got strong

Original sounds from Dwyer on camera incident came from Marilyn Manson and prompted Patrick to write the song but online speculation is it may be about Cobain.

You might have wished you were blind at the time, if you had watched the video.
If i recall it was live, and not all stations managed to shut the feed down in time for folks watching to not see gore....

Hard to fathom it's been 12 whole years. I remember standing there in the cold as the blue hearse and team bus rolled by the stadium and not word was spoken
