And that unknown woman? You guessed it: Chappell Roan

Oh my.

Every now and then the poetry stuff comes up on here, and I get reminded of just how odd the whole thing was.

That one's significantly better than the more formal poems, at least he's able to utilize his sense of lyrical rhythm a bit.

That's kind of cool. I wonder if Melissa still has any contact with Billy? I seem to remember she was disappointed not be invited back when the band was (kinda) put back together in 2006.

I swear that there was a GATMOG thread on here where some files where shared by several people but it seems to have disappeared. I was going to add to them but I'm guessing the thread was deleted because of the file sharing?

From my understanding, she was only interested in a part-time job. Like, the band wasn't going to be her priority. Billy briefly talked to her but he was looking for more. She then "retired".

I don't think they are in touch, she regretted not being able to see them playing in Canada during the 2018 tour. She didn't know they were playing there.

I could be wrong, but I recall her saying Billy did not approach her

Actually it appears they did talk about it, but this was all I could find (from 2009)

Melissa coming back in 2018 would've been great. She rocks.

“It’s not even worth getting into that history,” Corgan told NME. “I don’t have any ill will towards Melissa, but she never considered herself to be part of the unit and made it very clear that she didn’t ever want to be considered part of the unit posthumously."

“It was kind of like, ‘I’ll do this for this window’.”
Billy about Melissa not joining the band.

“I am not in touch with them. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It’s just … maybe he doesn’t use the internet, either, I don’t know. I’m happy they’re playing the hits for the diehard fans. They were playing in Montreal, but I was on an island of 200 people in the Baltic Sea playing a silent film festival score. [Laughs] It was the same week, otherwise I would’ve gone to the show in Montreal. I would’ve liked to have seen it.”

in tonight, tonight -- how are you parsing the meaning of him repeating the word tonight?

is it like tonight, oh what a wonderful night, tonight -- or is it like, someone specifying *tonight*, tonight -- as in sort of 'right here, right now', specificity and urgency, let's do this tonight

I think it's "Two night to night, too. Night!"

He's saying a two-night affair can also become a one-night affair. And then he's wishing you a good night.

Billy talks Mellon Collie
“I was using Strats with Lace Sensor pickups and a weird rack I built that. Somehow, it just worked.” Billy Corgan on 30 years of Smashing Pumpkins’ ‘Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness'"
