i don't remember!

but i found this: http://www.starla.org/chrono/1997a.html
Quote:
September 1997

The New York Post reported on the 29th about a "cyber psycho" named Sam Manzie, 15, who assaulted and murdered an 11 year-old boy. Sam was a big pumpkinhead, and the story linked his obsession with the Pumpkins a possible reason or influence for the murder. Go figure.

i don't, actually. interesting enough though just last month I was searching SP t-shirts and came across this site from 1996 that's supposedly this kid's website. it has pictures of him and his girlfriend and it talks about how they were both big SP fans.

honestly it looks fairly normal to me

if i could find my personal web page from 1997 it wouldn't look extremely different, i mean change around some hobbies but it doesn't seem that sinister really looked at by itself

at least what i've read so far... it is interesting though, very.

Look at the lyric quotes, in context of the video.

their music isn't too destructive. with any luck the media probably heard of his interest in SP and probably just listened to mayonaise and luna and thought "hey this isn't bad at all"

yeah, they are mostly about death and pain i guess

i'm almost positive i spoke to this guy on AOL back in the day. they had private rooms that you had to know the name of and the smashing pumpkins room was fairly popular. i remember people in there freaking out a little when the news broke.

keep in mind this is a chat room that had like an online seance or some shit on the anniversary of Melvoin's death

we were obsessed little fuckers

The www.smashing-pumpkins.net chat room was very popular back in the day. I remember when people used to have "cybersex" on there, too.

Also: for a 15 year old this guy seemed unusually obsessed with preserving and following institutionalized traditions for young men.

Yeah, don't the nascent rock audiences just seem to get younger and younger? Back in my mother's generation it seems like people really only started getting into rock music at age 14 or 15. Now you'll see 9 year olds sporting Green Day t-shirts because they actually proclaim themselves a fan.

Those were interesting days for sure. I remember we would always be at war with the Bush private room. I only remember a few people from in there. Redrum, Sycophant, etc.

Godammit, you fucked up my reply which now has no context! That's what i get for using quick reply, I guess.

Also: my handle was SpAcEd in the chatroom.

True. He has already been judged, by a judge, who gave his punk ass life in prison.
