Then he hit me with a surprise left

There was a song from Pearl Jam called Jeremy that had this line:

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

What they meant is that the mother neglected him because she didn't want to be seen in public with him.

It's a lyric from the song Jeremy by Pearl Jam.

Yeah. I mean, as an autistic man I can put myself in his shoes. People don’t really accept you and you always seem to say the wrong things or the right things at the wrong times. You want to be liked and accepted, so you accumulate wealth to try to have social standing and influence. But even as the richest man you still can’t really find your footing socially. It’s sad and I feel for the guy on some level.
