You motivated me to research it. Yikes!
The song 'Hey Man, Nice Shot' is a reaction to a well-documented public suicide, where the guy CLEARLY planted the gun in a manila envelope. Totally planned it. It is not a celebration or glorification of taking one's own life. The phrase 'hey man, nice shot' is a reference to the final act itself; which, was a damn good shot and an expression of guts and determination of a person standing up for what they believe is right, i.e. self-murder, public-style. We are extremely sensitive and respectful to the family and friends of Mr. Dwyer. We have both lost friends to suicide and felt nothing but sympathy and loss for the victims, and those involved in such a tragedy.
I always think of the Wings - Avs rivalry back in '97 when they tried to kill each other. Someone had stuck up the video of the series they played with all the fights to
'Hey Man, Nice Shot'.
No I'm listening to Xray Spex - The Day The World Turned Dayglo
