This was 16 years ago - so I'm sure that didn't come up.
His manager lived across the street from my aunt's (uncle's wife) sister in Chicago. They got to be friends and Billy would give their kids guitar lessons. He then became friends with my aunt and uncle when he came to KC for a 3-day lomi lomi massage treatment from my aunt before going on tour with Zwan.
Which led to the following bizarre exchange:
My mom: Do you know who Billy Corgan is?
Me: Um, yeah
My mom: Well apparently your uncle just took him to Buca di Bepo
Me: ...
So I guess he wanted to see what a normal midwestern Thanksgiving was like, as his family was fairly dysfunctional growing up. I think he just wanted to be a fly on the wall. But of course 6'4" bald Billy Corgan at your family's Thanksgiving is never going to just be a fly on the wall. I think it was pretty weird for everyone involved. Afterwards they took him to a party on the Plaza to watch the lights turn on and said he was pretty uncomfortable.
