Interviews with real people regarding real-life events still count as real-life examples.

Removed these examples.
What about song lyrics that aren't Tear Jerkers at first, but become Harsher in Hindsight or Funny Aneurysm Moments due to later real life events?
I noticed that a lot of TearJerker.Music pages list real-life events (mostly artist deaths) in violation of Tear Jerker's No Real Life Examples, Please! rule. On some pages. On TearJerker.Avenged Sevenfold, I removed an example about The Rev's death, but I noticed a couple of examples about other band members being interviewed afterwards. I think they be removed should since they're troping real life, but I'd still like to confirm.
