Actually, my absolute favorite is March Of The Pigs, NIN.
I have a Billy Corgan story. A friend and I were in NY, and we had arranged to meet a guy friend of ours in a bar. This guy friend was really tall, and bald. So we get to the establishment, and it's really dark. I see my friend at the bar, and go running over and give him a thump on the back and a big bear hug, and say something (I forget what, exactly but probably something very inappropriate).
You all know where this is headed. The guy turns around, all PO'd, and it wasn't my friend, of course, it was Billy Corgan. And he wasn't happy. And if you've ever gone up to a rock star and said "oh I'm really sorry, I thought you were someone else" ... well you know they think you're just full of it.
I never did like him. Dude has no sense of humor.
Nice on NIN!
Great story! Geez, like he's the only bald, tall guy in NYC! I hate to hear awesomely talented people are d'bags IRL, though....I guess it shouldn't surprise me - there are d'bags everywhere, right?
I was just almost "that mom" at the bouncy place this afternoon. I have a good friend that I get together with for play dates every so often. We moms get along better than our kids do. Today we were at a pretty big place and we tried to sit in a location that was central, between the big kid area and the little kid area. We each had a kid in each area. After a while an employee, a mom, and a kid walked up and said my friend's son was behaving badly. He was too rough on the other kid. The mom was really mad and said an apology wasn't enough, the kid should be kicked out, and SHE was watching her kids, we weren't. At least it wasn't my kid, but I was that mom not paying attention to the kids while I chatted with my friend. I've been on the other end of that, and it does make me mad.
Honestly, I think my kids would have been (and pretty much were) fine with minimal supervision. My friend's kid is one that you have to watch. It is getting harder and harder to hang out with her because I don't really care for her kids. I'm sure everyone has friends like this, where you like the mom, but the kids don't get along. It is especially hard when I don't agree with her discipline/ parenting tactics.

Yep. He's not considered a cool dude generally, by those in the biz.
Although, I had a friend in a very successful rock band around the same time - mid/late 90's - and he was complaining once that he hates it when he's on tour and he meets someone from a band who's music he really dislikes and they turn out to be great to hang out with. He said he felt bad for ragging on them previously and it would be easier if they were d'bags. So there's that.
Most people are actually great to hang out with, with a few exceptions.
lol! omg - I can understand five screwdrivers, hammers, etc. - but how does one acquire 5 weed whackers? Did he just "misplace" them?
I actually laid them out on the grass and waited for him to come home. One was "too small". One was broken but he thought repairing it would be a good rainy day project. One had the string all tangled up and he thought maybe I could do that. One was my dad's and he was attached to it for sentimental reasons. And one was "the one I use".
