and, d’arcy’s bra’s with a vest and jeans, oh goodness, and those sunglasses they all wore. it is so funny, but sad, cause that is what people really wore then, and it was cool. oh, i’m glad my grandma used to dress me in those days. it was before i discovered comfy jeans, and huge hoodies.
don’t get me started on mullets, ahhh
look what i just found on sp.com a video of the induction
here is the link
ohh, i hate it when they are sneaky like that. well, i probably won’t get it. are you gonna get the poster if it is on ebay?
i haven’t seen it yet, that is one of the things on my list to get. but i will look out for it.
and yes i think they are. i am just glad it is not from the early 90’s now that was scary.
if it is really signed, then maybe, but not if it is just printed signatures. i forgot to ask pummedmilita if it was. at least i think i forgot to ask. i can’t remember. i will have to ask again.
was it ever, cause i wore that crap, and you know what, to this day i can’t wear a tight pair of jeans. they have to be somewhat baggy, and cover my shoes. it’s that crazy? and i dress my son in pants like that. i just really like it. for the most part i think some of me is still stuck in the 90’s. i am glad billy isn’t, nice pink shirt, not a sweater.
me too!!
i love the bald billy. he is so \"dapper\" now, and it did all happen around adore. do you think he \"grew up \" a little more then?
yes, the price will have to come down a bit. i wouldn’t care to pay a little more to get it from sp.com, but 50 bucks more, no way.
yes yes, not very good at all, but you live you learn not to wear hiddious sweaters. i think he dresses very nice, and handsome.
yes. and it looked good on him too. he wears clothes nicely. except those strange sweaters. i can’t hardly get over the pic with the crazy sweater with the bill of the hat turned up. kinda giving me nightmares.
i loved jimmy’s look, he had the \"blue steele\" look. loved it!! and billy was happy, then serious, then happy, the \"blue steele\" with jimmy. over all the pink shirt was my favorite.
i got this from a post on thepupkins.net:
LOS ANGELES (Reuters)
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan reluctantly accepted a low-grade honor in Hollywood on Wednesday, after revealing that he had spent a lot of time wondering whether it was \"a silly thing.\"
Corgan and bandmate Jimmy Chamberlin placed their hands in wet cement for the Rockwalk, a shrine of sorts outside a music instrument shop. A hundred or so fans turned up, outnumbered by the media and assorted band hangers-on.
\"I’m so used to bad vibes, people hating our band and throwing things at us. So it’s strange to be honored,\" Corgan told the crowd.
\"I had to think about it. I had to really lay in bed and think, ‘Is this a good thing? Is this a silly thing?’ I’m really honored. I’m really touched.\"
He expressed similarly mixed emotions about being in one of the most popular rock bands of the 1990s, saying membership in ’70s rock gods Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath might have been preferable.
Clearly in a philosophical mood, Corgan said Smashing Pumpkins represented \"an existential extension\" of himself. The only problem is that he does not always know who he really is.
\"So thank you for understanding that part of me that I don’t understand.\"
Corgan and Chamberlin, the band’s drummer, are the sole original members of the Chicago band, which enjoyed such modern-rock hits as \"Today\" and \"1979.\" Internal dissension led to the band’s break-up in 2000. Corgan resurrected the Pumpkins in 2005, but without guitarist James Iha and bassist D’Arcy Wretzky.
He told reporters after the induction ceremony that he has \"zero\" personal communication with Iha and Wretzky.
\"They should be here today. This is part of their legacy too,\" he said, adding they were not invited.
\"Our door is open, but … if people don’t walk through your door, what are you supposed to do? You can only be rejected so many times. You can only have so many overtures ignored.\"
Wretzky, who quit the band in 1999, has largely left the music business. Iha has kept busy with a variety of musical collaborations.
