It was so ridiculous but so fascinating that I kept reading these girls' pages for probably twenty minutes. And right then I realized how many people there are out there who do things that are absolutely horrible or even just not that great, like they're just born into a rich famous family and don't do anything like Paris Hilton, and they get these hordes of followers and worshippers.

Let's hear it for America's sweethearts.'" *Alice Cooper's ''Brutal Planet'' album, released in 2000, includes a song "Wicked Young Man" which explicitly refers to the Columbine massacre. *In the Chumbawamba song, "Everything You Know Is Wrong", the lead character (the song is from the point of view of the man in the background of conspiracies) makes reference to both Columbine and the two semi-associated events, the Waco Siege and the Oklahoma City bombing. *The Chumbawamba song "We Don't Want to Sing Along", was based on the Columbine incident with the protagonist first learning how to make a bomb in an internet chat-room and is abandoned by a friend who dismisses the idea of action. *In the song "Loyal To the Game (Remix)" on the Tupac album ''Loyal To the Game'', rapper DJ Quik refers to the event. *The Game mentions the massacre on the G-Unot remix of the song Hate It Or Love It on The Game's mixtape You know what it is Vol 3. *Columbine students Jonathan and Stephen Cohen wrote a song called ''Friend Of Mine (Columbine)'', which briefly received airplay in the US after being performed at a memorial service broadcast on nationwide television.
