I know i have told this story before, but about nine or ten years ago I went into this little guitar shop near Boca Raton, FL, and started telling the owner about how I wanted to get a strat and Corgan it up. He enthusiastically drags this ancient piece of shit practice amp out from the back and tells me it was Billy Corgan's first amp and it was unloaded to him recently by b0lly Sr. I was like ummmm I dunno I don't really need that, you know? cool though. He got real worked up and swore he would show me the receipt "right fucking now" if I wanted proof. I thanked him but declined. I actually posted about it here immediately thinking someone else might be interested in checking out the veracity of this dude's claim, but I don't think any FL Netphorians ever followed through

that guy really did have some sort of panicky fit when he realized my shirt had plastic buttons on it, and he was terrified I would scratch the guitars if I got too close to them

Personally, Billy seemed a lot more in touch with himself...there was just something different about him. He seemed so much more honest and down-to-earth and revealing than I've never seen him behave. He's was in an excellent mood tonight. I still deeply love that man.
whens the last time this was relevant?

found this via something redbull posted about zwan/spun soundtrack http://forums.netphoria.org/showthre...threadid=74215

Man, I really thought monte had somewhat put the breaks on things. Like he was preoccupied with other stuff. Why call and ask about that place... It is just weird. Really weird how he asked prior anything being even said about the house, he found out 2 days ago. I know he has a lot of info on billys homes of past and present, I just don't get why. Reminds me of that person who some how got D'arcys tax info, it is just beyond creepy.

This is fucking weird.

And if by some fat chance one of his past homes does get a historical designation because of him, it would be the painted lady Victorian house, given its architecture and that he wrote MCIS there.
