his week Pepperoni picked Siamese Dream

“Sit down gang, it’s story time. The year was 2024. The city of Springfield was filled with excitement as the town was getting ready for the 171st annual STATE FAIR. The big headlining act this year was “The Smashing Pumpkins” from the big city of Chicago. The city of Springfield had never had such an act perform on a stage in its city before. The mayor of Springfield was sure to hang up banners reading “welcome Billy” every lamp post, and every piece of trash was picked up from the sidewalks.

It was the day before the big concert and I was doing my usual thing, working the counter at my record store, greeting customers and sleeping on the bags. Smashing Pumpkins greatest hits LP had came out on vinyl for the first time earlier that week so I was playing that in the store. A man wearing a purple zip-up jacket (I thought this was odd because it was the middle of the summer) and a ball cap and a mustache was perusing the jazz section and he stopped to give me a pet on the head. As he did this I recognized the scars on his hands right away. It was Billy. “Bil-” I almost shouted his name but he held one finger up to his mouth to “shhhh” me. He took off his fake mustache and winked at me. And then he took out his phone and took a picture of himself on his own greatest hits LP which was on our store’s wall and he posted it to his Instagram story. Then he bought like 4 jazz records and tip-toed away into the night! And that is the story on when I met Billy Corgan.”
