BC: "We're never going home"
At the Normal show, BC was talking about how this was their first performance close to Chicago, and ended by saying "We're never going home, but thanks for coming."

yeah that is wierd. i wonder what happened. everybody needs to go home now and then and it's sad that he doesn't like his home anymore. i think chicago is a really cool city. i would never live in LA over Chicago, which is where i think BC's been living lately. LA is horrifying to me. plus my ex boyfriend lives there and he fits in great with all the other plastic people.

Billy Corgan buys a piece of the Gold Coast
Ten months after selling his Victorian painted lady mansion in Lake View for $1 million, former Smashing Pumpkins lead singer and chief songwriter Billy Corgan has paid $2.95 million for a recently renovated, historic six-room condominium on the Gold Coast. After disbanding the Smashing Pumpkins, Corgan formed a new group, Zwan, which is playing three sold-out shows at the Double Door this weekend. Through his tour manager, Corgan declined to comment on the purchase of the two-bedroom condo. His tour manager confirmed that the singer-songwriter recently has been staying at the condo while rehearsing for Zwan's current tour, but said the Chicago-area native ultimately intends to lease the condo in a 110-year-old building to someone else. The unit has an oak-paneled living room, reception room, balcony framed by granite columns, four fireplaces, walnut parquet floors and a large terrace. Corgan has shown an affinity for vintage properties. After moving out of the more than 100-year-old Lake View home at 3448 N. Greenview Ave., which he owned from 1993 to 2001, Corgan temporarily stayed in a penthouse in the Haberdasher Square loft development, 728 W. Jackson Blvd., a former manufacturing building that dates to 1926. And in 2000, the Landmarks Preservation Council of Illinois awarded Corgan its President's Award for his commitment to historic preservation. Since Corgan sold his Lake View home, one Smashing Pumpkins Web site reported that he has been living in Italy, but in interviews he has declined any comment on his permanent residence. Singer Courtney Love, whom Corgan dated many years ago, just sold her loft in downtown Manhattan for $3 million after buying it for $2.6 million in January 2001, according to the New York Post. The loft is in the same building where rocker Lenny Kravitz just listed his own, five-bedroom, 7,000-square-foot, multilevel loft for $16 million, after buying the space unfinished in October 2000 for $8 million, the Post reported. Love also recently listed her almost 3,700-square-foot Spanish-style house on Los Angeles' Westside -- which she bought last June for $3 million -- for about the same price, according to the Los Angeles Times. Love reportedly is looking for another house in the area because her five-bedroom house, which was built in the 1920s, is too small. Ironically, Love told the Times last year that she sold a four-bedroom, 4,700-square-foot French country-style house on almost 2 acres in the Hollywood Hills -- which she had purchased from Ellen DeGeneres in 1997 for about $3 million -- because she was planning to spend more time in New York and actually wanted something smaller in L.A. She sold the Hollywood Hills home for $3.995 million in March 2001 to British businessman Mike Walley. Love's former Hollywood Hills house made the news in November 2001, after Paul McCartney's fellow Beatle George Harrison died. After Harrison's representatives gave a bogus L.A. address on his death certificate, the county's district attorney revealed in February that Harrison actually had died at Walley's house. Rocker Tom Petty has paid close to $2.5 million for a three-bedroom oceanfront home in Malibu, Calif., according to the Los Angeles Times. Built in 1974, the house has three fireplaces, Malibu tiles and a courtyard with a fountain, the paper reported ... Fred Durst, frontman for the rock group Limp Bizkit, has sold a house he never moved into in Bel Air, Calif., for $3.7 million because it had "vibes that were not quite correct for him," according to the Los Angeles Times. Last fall, Durst bought the four-bedroom, 6,600-square-foot house, which was once owned by the Doors' Robbie Krieger and has a carving of the Doors playing on one wall, for just under $4 million, the paper reported. Durst recently bought a house with a sound studio in L.A.'s Hollywood Hills, and has listed that home for $1.4 million, the Times reported. deadbirdie 07-29-2005, 03:03 PM Corgan pays $6.8 million for mansion on the lake Former Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan founder and solo rock star Billy Corgan has paid $6.8 million for an 18-room lakefront mansion in the northern suburbs that was designed by celebrated architect David Adler. Built in 1926, the seven-bedroom Normandy chateau-style mansion sits on more than 6 acres and first was listed in 2000 for $11.9 million. It later was reduced to $9.5 million, then to $8.5 million and finally to $7.5 million before its sale. The house has a music room, garden room, gallery, great hall, seven fireplaces and 6˝ baths, French parquet flooring and Chinese wallpaper, according to listing information. The property has 354 feet of private beach. The sellers had owned the mansion since 1946 and Corgan is only the home's third owner, according to listing agent Honore Frumentino of Koenig & Strey. Corgan is no stranger to Adler's work, having paid $2.95 million in 2002 for a renovated, 3,500- square-foot, six-room, full-floor condo in an Adler-designed building on the North Side that once was a mansion. At that time, Corgan's tour manager and spokesman, Tim "Gooch" Lougee, confirmed that the singer-songwriter was staying at the condo but had intended to lease out the unit. It's not clear whether Corgan plans to reside in both homes. The rocker previously lived in a Victorian painted lady on the North Side that he bought in 1993 for $455,000 and sold in 2000 for $1 million. Corgan could not be reached for comment, and Lougee did not return a telephone call. Frumentino, who would not confirm the buyer's identity, said, "The sellers are very, very thankful that they sold it to a passionate preservationist. They're pleased that the house will remain in all its glory and will remain intact." Corgan's purchase price is the 10th highest for a home here, surpassed by: • The $12 million sale of a lakefront house on the North Shore in 2000 • The $11.45 million sale of that same property in 2001 • Two $10 million-plus condo sales on the Gold Coast in 2002 • The $9.9 million purchase last year by Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co. CEO Bill Wrigley of a north suburban lakefront mansion • The $9.5 million sale of former MarchFirst CEO Robert Bernard's North Side mansion in 2002 • An investment banker's $9.5 million purchase of a mansion in Winnetka in 2002 • The $8.5 million sale of a lakefront house in Wilmette in 2002 • The $7.95 million sale last summer of White Sox slugger Frank Thomas' west suburban mansion. In addition, Corgan's purchase is the highest price on record that a celebrity has paid for a Chicago-area house, surpassing the $4.79 million author Scott Turow paid in 2001for a north suburban lakefront house. However, the original sale prices for some of the area's highest-priced celebrity homes aren't available. Basketball great Michael Jordan, for instance, built his massive North Shore mansion from scratch, so no purchase price is available. Talk-show queen Oprah Winfrey gradually bought and combined multiple condominiums in her Near North Side building to create a unit that would surpass the value of Corgan's mansion, according to agents who sell in the area. And Thomas also built his recently sold mansion from scratch. Corgan's former bandmates also have shown an affinity for the north suburbs. Former Smashing Pumpkins and Zwan drummer Jimmy Chamberlin paid $832,500 in late 2001 for a house on 4.28 acres in the far north suburbs, and former Smashing Pumpkins guitarist James Iha paid $1.05 million in 1998 for a house in the near north suburbs that he sold for $1.16 million in 2001. Iha, who now lives in New York City, still owns a house on the Far North Side of Chicago that he bought in 1994 for $260,000.

when he said "we're never going to Chicago", I think he meant it , jokingly, in reference to playing there not going/living there.
