Tool Song Dedication Recipient

Why did Tool dedicate Eulogy to Scott Reader (spelling unsure. Reeder?)? Who is he?

states this about “Eulogy” (great song, IMO)

• G27. The big question: Who is “Eulogy” about?

As with most Tool songs, the song is vague enough that can be interpreted to be anyone / anything. The song is primarily about the death of something which most probably turned out to be a fake. Regarding the rumor that the band is no longer on good terms with Henry Rollins; he has recently been heard talking positively about Tool, saying he was unaware of any bad blood. In Modern Drummer (10/93), Danny mentions L. Ron Hubbard as the object of the song. One way or another, though, the song has a message that can stand apart from any specific target; the interpretation is left to you, and the specifics aren’t too important.

There’s no mention of Scott Reader on the FAQ. Possibly, it’s a pseudonym (like Harry Manback).
