That's a pretty lame story, not even worth the effort he put into turning a one sentence story into six paragraphs.

Dude... The guy was lying in the middle of the room getting a massage while the rest of the band jammed out with the guy rehearsing... How is that NOT being a dick?

And hey we don't know the other side of the story here. Maybe Corgan was up all night writing Yeah, Baby Let's Rock, and Endless Summer and really needed a message; or maybe Corgan didn't even feel an audition was even necessary because he took one look at the bassist, saw he didn't have boobs, and knew he wasn't the one? |

It sounds like that massage gal was just there as a courtesy service from A&R. True, I see how that accentuates the perception of inordinate privilege given to the very people who least need any more special privilege...BUT IT'S A FREE FUCKING MASSAGE. Like, who wouldn't accept that? Just imagining that, it feels soooo good...

Or maybe the story is exaggerated and it had nothing to with label and it was just a friend of Billys rubbing his shoulders.
The whole story is one long desperate attempt to try inflate his own importance and make a perfectly normal situation sound like some sort of over the top rock star ego trip decadence. |

I'm not saying that Billy's actions were as "over-the-top" as this guy is making them sound, but it was an audition. In particular, it was an audition for a band Billy was starting. It seems like it would be common courtesy to at least pretend like you're interested in the person auditioning.
