* [[Tupac Shakur]]. It turns out that they had a secret fling (sometime in 1994 or '95, before the "Jagged Little Pill" album came out) that Alanis thought was something more than a one-night stand. When Tupac rejected her further advances, she became enraged and wrote this song. Worse, over a year after "You Oughta Know" came out, Alanis was still unhinged and insanely angry at Tupac...so she decided to punish him. That's right, [[Alanis Morissette]] is either the one who shot Tupac, or she at least ''hired'' the person who did. Writing an angry song wasn't enough. She wanted brutal revenge. |

Both were [[Canada, Eh?|Canadian]] [[Teen Idol|teen idols]] in the early '90s. They both had over-the-top [[The Eighties|'80s]] fashion when they were famous ([[The Eighties]] reached Canada late). Both have [[Canon Dis Continuity|disowned their teen pop pasts]] and become a lot darker and [[Deadpan Snarker|snarkier]] since. Robin was in a relationship with a man who appeared in one of her music videos, and the man that inspired Alanis to write ''Jagged Little Pill'' was (according to rumor; see above) someone who appeared in one of her videos. Robin is basically Alanis if she didn't continue making music. |
