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.
Hearing "The doctor will see you now." can be a relief if you've been sitting in the waiting room for an hour. But if the doc you are seeing was Michael Swango, you will probably want to sacrifice your copay and gtfo of the office. Learn how this jerk pretty much showed all his cards […]

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 […]

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