The Real Reason Behind "Stan"

[Wreck]

I was thinking about this, and watching TRL videos tonight, and I came across this Em interview with Dave Holmes on TRL from like 2001 around when MMLP dropped (I've seen the interview quite a few times). Anyways, they got to talking about the Stan record. Dave asked Em if this song was based off of a real life experience (he worded it not like that, but in that way), and Marshall said yeah, some fans take what I say too serious, and that he also gets crazy fan mail. Yet from other sources & interviews Em has said when he heard the Dido sample on the 45 King beat, from the beat tape he got from him, it made him think of a crazy, obsessed fan and decided to build the record around that concept. I'm referring to the part in the chorus "put your picture on my wall, it reminds me that it's not so bad, not so bad."

Here's the video:

I believe that it was just based around the 45 King sample, and what popped in his head, but that he also gets crazy fan mail as well. I sort of get this already, but I wanted to get everybody's view on the Stan Record, and meaning of it just in case. I know their probably wasn't a single fan who was like this. What do you think of all this?
