Birdman is inspired by this BUM(homeless man) Raine use to see when he went to school.

"I assume he was some kind of politician that lost it and was living on the streets and just going nuts all night,"
begins Maida with the brand of easy charisma that assures a spellbound audience for each of his effortless tales.
"It was so strange. [The next morning] I just caught a few words as I passed by him, and he was one of the most
intelligent people I've ever heard speak. Right then I had this enlightenment. I didn't give him a chance, and
there's probably so many times where you miss opportunities because you form an opinion so quickly." - Raine Maida

Dang, I was about to quote the same thing!
*shakes fist angrily for being beaten to the punch*
*shakes fist angrily for being beaten to the punch*
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.

The part about people teasing her comes through pretty clearly. It was the killing everyone I was
ing about. Anyway, I can accept the explanation that the site is wrong.
The 4am thing was interesting. Assuming it's correct, I had often wondered why it was called that, but I just figured Raine was walking around his room at 4:00 A.M.

I think that site, because I have been there before , is more or less the people who run it interps alongwith snipbits Raine may have quoted.
As for ANNIE. The only thing I can remember is Raine saying how it waqs errie him bringing the band the song because Columbine had just happened. I think she may have killed people or thought of killing them in her dreams or head.
Personally I always thought of ANNIE as Oskar's sister
