For Hsien…
From The Onion AV interview intro with what’s-his-name from the smashing pumpkins…
“In addition to his sonic surprises, Corgan has been shocking fans and rubberneckers alike with the vitriol he’s aimed at his former Zwan bandmates in recent interviews, as well as his highly personal online-journal entries, including a post that blamed the Pumpkins’ breakup on band member James Iha. Chicagoans were also probably a bit surprised in 2004 when Corgan became WXRT-FM’s “Cubs Correspondent,” though anyone who caught him screaming “Let’s get some runs!” during game seven of the 2003 NLCS knew how much he cared about the team. Corgan threw another curveball with 2004′s bestselling poetry collection Blinking With Fists, but he saved his biggest bombshell for last week: A full-page ad in The Chicago Tribune announced that Corgan has “made plans to renew and revive The Smashing Pumpkins. I want my band back, and my songs, and my dreams.”"
