Guy in crowd: We sympathize!
BC: (shrugs) I prefer empathy, but okay.
Spaceboy
Violet Rays
BC: [cuts in] I’ve survived bands, critics, pestilence, plague...Italian fans...stalkers, wives, gold diggers, whores, prostitutes, Rammstein. I’ve survived it all. And I’m still fuckin’ here.
Guy in crowd: We love you! [possible cut]
BC: It depends on how you define love. This is a song from a band I had called Zwan.
Endless Summer (piano)
BC: Thank you, thank you, I appreciate it and I thank you. I’d now like to play a song from the Adore album. Yes. This is pretty much officially where I started to lose my mind.
Guy in crowd: To Sheila!
BC: I don’t take requests. If you let me punch you in the face, I will play whatever you want. You have to sign a legal waiver first. No, this is a song about my dead mother. Thank you very much. To my dead mother, Martha.

BC: It’s okay, it’s over, so you can talk all you want now.
Guy in crowd: The Smashing Pumpkins!
BC: Thank you, Grandpa, [2 unintelligible words] from America. You know, when you’re young and you have these crazy dreams about being in a band.... (pauses to drink water) And uh, anybody want any water? (Billy tosses his water bottle into the crowd) You know, you have these dreams that we’re gonna do this, we’re gonna do that, we want to be here, we want to be there, we want to be on the cover of this. The one thing you can never anticipate, if you’re lucky enough to have success, is that people will make you a part of their lives: they’ll get married to you, they’ll have children to you. When they bury someone they love, they’ll listen to you. It’s an awesome responsibility and I’ve never quite felt up to it. But um...there’s just no way to avoid it, life marches on. And um, you don’t know how much time you have, you never know if we’ll be in this place together again, so thank you for being here tonight.
