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.

Very cool story, thanks for sharing

Siamese Dream will never not be on my top 10 all time list, still listen to it all the time... read an interview a while back where he was a child music prodigy plucked from public school to attend some prestigious music academy at a very young age

I think it’s pretty cool that he’s all into Cubs baseball and is always showing up at games, even happened across him singing Take Me Out To The Ballgame during the .7th inning stretch a few years ago

All I could think was “yeah, your milieu is DEFINITELY rock” lol
