[edit] Skid Row

I removed the statement that the Skid Row song "Eighteen and Life" was inspired by Ricky Kasso. Guitarist Dave Sabo stated that he wrote that song after reading about an 18-year-old boy who shot his friend by accident when he thought the gun wasn't loaded, and eventually ended up in prison for life. The song lyrics talk about a gun, an accidental shooting, and a lifetime jail sentence while Ricky Kasso's story had a knife, a violent stabbing, and only two-weeks in jail before killing himself (no trial).
