GoFundMe for Beth James: the one who found Billy's stolen guitar
As was recommended by NovaFritz, I made a GoFundMe, on behalf of Netphoria, for Beth James, who found Billy Corgan's long-lost guitar that was stolen back in 1992. Apparently, she didn't want to accept a reward from him, because the guitar is his. That's pretty selfless of her, considering what she could have got for it from a collector or pawn shop.
Here's the link: https://www.gofundme.com/for-beth-th...gan039s-guitar Feel free to share it around. Pretty amazing story--I hope she gets rewarded. |

This GoFUndMe looks like a scam. |
4 real
if she didn't want to accept the reward from Billy, the FUCK would she accept from a buncha bald-lickers such as ourselves? |

Ha.
Look, I'm totally fine to take it down if it's a stupid idea. Doesn't really matter to me either way. If most of us are against it, make it known, and I'll pull it. |
i'm genuinely interested to see how much you can raise
|
but perhaps you should pole the Netphorian public on it either way
|
via, i don't know, a pole perhaps
|
I like that idea. I'll let some others chime in first, but yeah, that makes sense.
|
Hahahahaha. Billy is gonna lose his shit if netphoria actually charitably gets her some cash.
|
there's like twenty of us on here. so that means each person has to pay like a five hundred thousand dollars for you to make it.

Leave it up for now.
Can't ScottWeilandFan give us some press? I would think that Alt nation, etc. would like a story like this. I guess the other thing we need to find out is if this lady would actually take the money. I guess someone could contact the Rolling Stone author. The writing on this point wasn't very clear. I just assumed the worst. I mean, who wouldn't take the reward money? Billco probably thought she stole it. |

Not a bad idea. Maybe you should contact him and see? |
Have you heard of the Sad Machines?
|
I can't help but feel that you guys should do a GoFundMe for, well, me.

I'll try emailing the Rolling Stones guy tomorrow
|
if we do this, i can't wait to see the reaction from sad machines, lol
|
Wtf...Billy should pay her, not us. This is weird.

I'd feel the same way. Let me know what I can do to add any confirmation or security for things like that, and I'd be happy to. |

You're saying she wouldn't accept 9k from a millionaire who was offering the money for decades, but will take the money from broke people on the internet? Ok

Sounds good. Any ideas of how to reach her? I could try Facebook stalking or something. |

I guess technically we don't know that he offered her money. All he said was that she didn't want anything... but that seemed like it was the case because it's his guitar. I think I'd feel hyper weird asking Billy for money if he didn't offer it to me in my living room, regardless of him mentioning the $20k a while back. She probably said something like, "And, I don't want anything for it. I'm just glad you got it back." And he said, "That's so sweet. Thanks." And that was that. |

I don't mean to be a debbie downer but why should fans pick up Billy's tab? |
