I love Happy Gilmore. I could watch it a million times a day. Happy, Shooter, Chubs, the not really hot girl who worked for the tour and went out with Happy (it’s Julie Bowen, she’s hot now I heard), the midget. Damn. Good times. That must mean that 1996 ruled. So I looked through Wikipedia and it seems like it was pretty frigging boring. They cloned that sheep. That’s about it. But The Smashing Pumpkins recorded Tonight, Tonight and it’s a pretty good song.
I remember reading once that the Asian dude in the band did a lot of drugs so the rest of them kicked him out. Later that Asian guy went on to:
Die
Get back in the band
Become the Junior Senator from Oregon
Start a new band called: Oregon
I don’t know the answer to the question. But the video and the lyrics are after the jump. I hope the Asian guy is a senator. That’ll show those Pumpkins!
Smashing Pumpkins – Tonight Tonight
Time is never time at all
You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth
And our lives are forever changed
We will never be the same
The more you change the less you feel
Believe, believe in me, believe
That life can change, that you’re not stuck in vain
We’re not the same, we’re different tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
And you know you’re never sure
But you’re sure you could be right
If you held yourself up to the light
And the embers never fade in your city by the lake
The place where you were born
Believe, believe in me, believe
In the resolute urgency of now
And if you believe there’s not a chance tonight
Tonight, so bright
Tonight
We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
Actually James Iha recently did a supergroup-type project called Tinted Windows, which also featured Taylor Hanson, Cheap Trick drummer Bun E. Carlos and the bassist from Fountains of Wayne. (Band fucking rules!) Currently he’s in the regrouping of A Perfect Circle.
Don’t you guys keep track of these things??
P.S. I’ve never met him, but Billy Corgan sounds like a jerk. Which is why I haven’t gone out of my way to meet him. Not a bad songwriter, though.
I am NOT a smashing pumpkins fan, though I could have liked their music if I’d never gone to see them in concert when I was 17. They were one of the rudest bands I ever saw live.
You know how big companies are evil and terrible to their employees? Well, this is not a new phenomenon. Join us as we learn about the Radium Girls. These women got good jobs helping out with the war effort except (big surprise) it was terrible. I know everything is awful right now and it is […]
America learned so many of its terrible traits from England. One of them was the concept of: call a bunch of women witches and see what happens (nothing good). We had Salem. But 80 years earlier, England had Lancashire. So sit back with some Yorkshire Tea and drink up the story of religion, politics and […]
This show has a lot of terrible things in it. That's kind of our thing. And the story of Mary Vincent and what the scum of the Earth, Lawrence Singleton, did to her is terrible. But this story is more that terrible. It is downright inspiring. And when you hear it you will be amazed. […]
The most mysterious case we have done in a while concludes this week with part two of the Yuba City Five. I have been thinking about this case for weeks and I am no closer to a solution than I was when we started. If you didn't listen to part one, go back and listen […]
This case is the most baffling set of events we have covered in quite a while. Five men go to a basketball game and never come home. Seems like it is straightforward but oh my goodness it is anything but that. This is part one of two but honestly it could probably be one of […]
It's like a night watchman can't even patrol the manufacturing plant they work for without encountering a dog man. Night Watchmen, a local politician in another state, three girls near the woods, all of them running into a scary dogman. Join us as we get to the bottom of the case of the Michigan Dogman. […]
This week, special guest Hannah Selector and Acadia investigate the Hinterkaifeck Murders. Almost exactly 100 years ago, en extended family on a small German farm were found dead. Who did it? Well, there were weird things in the lead up to the crime, and the aftermath had plenty of suspects. But, at the end of […]
We do a lot of stories about upsetting topics. But this one? This one? This one has to be one of the most senseless, terrible things we have covered in a while. Not that it will make you mistrust everyone you know and will ever know in the future...oh, wait, it just might! The story […]
Pedro Lopez spent the 1970s in Peru, Ecuador, and Columbia. Over that time span he sexually abused and murdered more than 100 little girls. The only thing more chilling than the crimes of this guy is what ended up happening with him. Seriously you will not believe how this story ends. Join us as we […]
You probably know that Lolita is a book by Vladimir Nabokov about a pervert perving on a child. But you might not have known that there was a real case that may have inspired the author. The story of Sally Horner is complicated and tragic and should make you think twice before opening your yap […]

I post these things as bait to lure you in. Also, your latest post sounds like the sexiest contest ever!

What do you mean, rude? Did they cut on you in line?
I like some of their songs. Just some.
They spent the entire time they were on stage verbally bashing everyone in the crowd. It was before they were famous, so they were super rude.
