Smashing Pumpkins - Blissed And Gone Lyrics
 
 the sun has blessed
 the TICKETS (rays) are gone
 and all the kids have left their tears and gone home
 
 sweet 17, sour 29
 and i can't explain myself
 what i'd hoped to find (a ticket)
 you were all so kind
 when i was near
 
 and if you're still feeling down
 then maybe i need me around
 to love and hold you
 don't say i hadn't told you so
 maybe i need me around
 
 i had no luck (in securing two tickets)
 i had no shame
 i had no cause just 17 days of rain
 and you in my eyes
 
 just one more song to slay this earth
 and i can't explain myself
 just what it's worth
 it was all i had but not all i need
 and i can't escape the fact that i still bleed
 
 and if you're still feeling down
 then maybe i need me around
 to let them scold you
 and don't say i hadn't told you so
 maybe i need me around
 
 i had no voice
 i had no drive
 i had no choice
 i've done my time
 i had my self
 i had my band
 i had my love
 and i had no hand
 in watching it all fall apart
 
 and if you're still feeling down
 then maybe you need me around
 to love and hold you
 don't say i hadn't told you so
 maybe i need me around

No, I pulled mine yesterday at noon.  I was lucky enough to notice it before the board did, came to tell everyone, and then it leaked.

Smashing Pumpkins - Today (lyrics)
 
 Today is the greatest
 Day I ve ever kown
 Cant live for tomorrow
 Tomorrows much too long
 I burn my eyes out
 Before I get out
 
 I wanted more
 Than life could ever grant
 Bored by the chore
 Of saving face
 
 Today is the greatest
 Day I have ever known
 Cant wait for tomorrow
 I might not have that long
 Ill tear my heart out
 Before I get out
 
 Pink ribbon scars
 That never forget
 Ive tried so hard
 To cleanse these regrets
 My angel wings
 Were bruised and restrained
 My belly stings
 
 Today is
 Today is
 Today is
 The greatest day
 That I have ever known
 
 I want to turn you on
 I want to turn you round
 I want to turn you on
 I want to turn you
 
 Today is the greatest
 Today is the greatest day
 Today is the greatest day
 That I have ever known

Only the first 200?!?!  Out of the lucky 1000 who got tickets?!?!  Who have had to deal with the will call situation, released tickets and surface of the sun heat!??!  What?  They couldn't spring for another 800 t-shirts and buttons for everybody?
 
 Billy Corgan is cruel bastard.  The first 200 are not the 200 who have suffered the most.  Dickhead move, Billy.  Dickhead move.

Yeah, what a dick.  Giving things away to people who thought they were only buying a concert ticket.  At a ticket price about $30 lower than the band could have gotten away with charging.  At a club about 4000 people smaller than the band could have played.
 
 Total asshole.

[martinrob]

give me your tickets if you feel that way.

Give me a break. This show was already a highly anticipated, exclusive show as you can tell from all the frenzy on this board.  So the 1000 tickets are pretty exclusive to begin with.  But then to take the first 200 through the door and make them MORE exclusive is just stupid.  It's not like making another 800 t-shirts was going to break the bank.
 
 Please.  Give it a rest with all this "pious" Billy Corgan crap.  Billy Corgan is blessing the poor lost souls of Washington D.C. with an "almighty rock" performance!  Afterwards you'll have to line up to great him like the pope.  Make sure you kiss his ring.  So we are supposed to be eternally grateful that Billy Corgan is only charging $35 for his version of "Billy and The Pumpkins" that is esentially a record release party for an album that no one is going to buy?  All hail Saint Corgan!
 
 Hey, listen.  A year from now, when you see "Zeitgiest" in the used bin at the local CD shop, ask if the release show buttons come with it.
 
 Some of you have your heads so far up your rectums it's not even funny.
 
 "Total asshole."  You're right.  Billy Corgan is.

[vansmack]

The force is weak with this one.

[Sage 703]

I think he's a dude fronting a rock band giving 200 people a free shirt.
 
 Now, its just me, but I don't know of any other band that's done that.  Just sayin.
 
 Seems you want to find something wrong with every facet of this show, though, so enjoy sitting at home tonight listening to Fall Out Boy and the other music released this week that is more relevant than the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix.
