If the video quality is judged by the value it brings to the song, Jeremy of Pearl Jam is one of the best Clips of the last 20 years. Musically, the band leaves me indifferent and the song itself is not exceptional (although this is by far one of my favorite Pearl Jam and if the voice of Eddie Vedder is rather interesting) but the combination of words, images and real news story on which the whole is based in fact an exemplary witness of its time (1992) and what was then the MTV culture, and protest rather iconoclastic and far from the glorification of consumerism and conformism of reality shows who are now bottom of the chain of commerce (Paris Hilton and others).
To be honest, this is an hour that I hum "Jeremy spoke in "correcting my exam papers and asking me if I become more severe or more lenient in my quote.
Finally, I realize now reviewing those images that I had in time misunderstood the end of the clip which, in its ascent to MTV, suggesting that Jeremy had gun in all directions, "the Columbine" when in fact, he shoots himself in the head, which goes to I think the video even more 'high'.
No, really, it's great art.
