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. |

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 like that idea. I'll let some others chime in first, but yeah, that makes sense.

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. |

I can't help but feel that you guys should do a GoFundMe for, well, me.

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

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. |
