Does anyone know what specific murders lyrics and themes in Gigaton are referring to? Eddie? Jeff?  One seems obvious to me a George Floyd reference—chokehold—but there are others throughout the arc of songs—is it cited anywhere in their F O R U M of F R E E  S P E E C H who PEARL JAM’s inspirations were for this album?

Thanks—it’s of course not all about death and violence — happy Easter/Passover weekend everybody! To the surf!

    George Floyd was murdered by police in May. 
    Gigaton was released in March.

    Not sure references made or influences that can be cited but that is not possible.

    Don’t know. First witnessed Gigaton after returning from U.K., in 2021.
