And I think this all contributed to the lore of David, of people being like maybe a Tommy killed him and getting into this like weird sort of like alter ego doppelganger character that David had like fed to people.

Yes.

David is facing a slew of murder charges.

Basically been working on the story since like the end of last year.

I've been digging into this.

So he only got charged.

with murder a month it was like two weeks before we were gonna run the story and we were just we were just thinking like i would start so part of the story i'll say too is about fans frustration with the fact that he hadn't been charged with murder you know over the course of like seven months so yes he is charged with murder and like a slew of other um i think you know sex with minor like lots of other really uh

I had this like skepticism or this like kind of like, oh, are people just getting carried away?

Or like, of course they're reading too much into every single song.

Like there's no way it's this on the nose.

And then as time went on and like digging in, and of course, like once the charges dropped, it was like astounding the extent to which it did feel like he was breadcrumbing and literally singing about murders that he wanted to commit or did commit.

Like, yeah, like all of that, I think I was kind of like, okay, this can't be, this can't be.

And then it's like, oh yeah, like,

It was really, really insane.

Sometimes uses like the letter A, but like, I mean, that's the whole thing that I was just fascinated with him too, is like his whole persona is so internet brain with like the, oh, this is good for SEO to put like a four in it.

All of it feels like an incredible marketing stunt that like even a publicist probably couldn't come up with.

But then in hindsight, you're just like, oh, this is actually really twisted and very sick and disturbing.

Yeah.

I mean, everything is like a layered reference to everything.

I think like Swifties are so good at also just like looking for little Easter eggs in the lyrics and like referencing things back, decoding things.
