From Pitchfork:
"You could buy
Billy Corgan lunch! The nonprofit auction site Charitybuzz is
offering a lunch with the
Smashing Pumpkins leader to the highest bidder, and the Smashing Pumpkins website
confirms that it's a real thing.
If you win the auction, you and a friend get to have lunch with Corgan in Los Angeles or Chicago at "a mutually convenient time". And, as the site makes sure to point out, "Winner is responsible for the bill." I guess it's the Taco Bell value menu for you, Billy!
The auction ends on June 30, and as I'm typing this, the minimum bid is $750. If anyone has any money to burn, they can go ask Corgan about
that whole Tila Tequila thing! Or talk
pro wrestling with him! Or sing "Today" at him really loud! That's got to be worth $750, right?
Corgan has put himself up for sale as part of the
Songwriters Hall of Fame online
auction. Your money goes to the SHOF, which aims to "establish a permanent, state-of-the-art museum in New York City to highlight the achievements of songwriting greats and acknowledge their rightful place in our culture." Other items up for auction include a meet-and-greet with Cher, a Pete Wentz bass, and an autographed Elvis Costello poster."
Remember when Billy Corgan had cred once? Me neither. Who would even
want to have lunch with this shithead?
Note to Billy: You aren't cool anymore. Your "Prime" was over a decade ago. Things like this just make you look embarrassing.
