"My Mother came to a Smashing Pumpkins gig once, and I was wearing a dress. She was very upset. She said, 'Everyone's gonna think your a fag.' I said,'Well, they already think I'm an asshole.' "

Veronica Grey was supposed to be at this show to hear this song Billy Corgan wrote for and about her but...

...she was at Jason Lewis' house instead.

This is referenced in the book

"220: S I F T I N G

The Alien Battle Royale

or

How we met the Spirit of Kurt Cobain"

by Fysche.

Thank you for being such a profound inspiration!!!!!!!!!

@rzuo & he only wrote a LITTLE bit of Soma and Mayonaise

[hashfromplan9]

@rzuo exactly he wrote the shit songs that Billy dumped on records purely cuz he has ta stuff every record til the point of bloating. although i must say James' little solo record was a quaint, if forgettable acoustic affair

[hashfromplan9]

@MagicFingers47 wat abt the Pantera producing some of the tracks, actually most of it was produced by just Corgan and Chamberlin, with Chamberlin having a particularly important say in the final mixing of the album

[hashfromplan9]

Zeitgeist means "The Spirit of the Ages" or "Spirit of the Times" its talkin abt somethin summing up a time in a given era or period in history.

[indigonegative]

Masterful jump cuts. Could have done with more live sync though. For such great concert footage, I'm not sure I ever watch them sing/play along.

[MuseExclusive]

I was there!!! :D INCREDIBLE!!!! I'm Xavi from Barcelona.
