1996-01-11 interview about the origin of june

[crabshack]

audience member asks about billy's use of names, such as june, lilly, porcelina, ruby, etc

"the names are starting to add up.

i do a lot of things completely without thinking about it. i just live in this little world and then i come out and people go "oh by the way..."

and one friend of mine, she muses that, these are all, i create these names in my head to represent the people in my life, so whatever that means."

-so they are creations?

"i've never named anyone by literal name that i know. Lilly is the cat."

Just thought this would be fun for people who still speculate on who June is.

never bought the story that Lily was about his cat. and then lo and behold, when the 2012 MCIS reissue came out, Billy revealed in the liner notes that it was about his teenage habit of being a peeping tom (???)

A bit off-topic here, but have Billy ever been asked if he wrote any songs about Courtney Love?
