BC: Thank you very much, thank you very much, thank you very much. Good evening, people of Dayton-land, how are you tonight? Thank you very much for coming to our show tonight, um, I’m like to introduce to you, the, uh, the man, the myth, the alien that I started this band with, Mr. James Iha.

(BC during Iha's solo: Orville Wright on the lead guitar. Orville Wright. Orville Wright. Orville Wright. Fly, Orville, fly.)
(BC before outro: Long live rock and roll. Yes. Long live rock and roll. Maybe someday I’ll be lucky enough to have children and they’ll live long enough to see the end of ‘N Sync, Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys and Mandy Moore. Maybe by the time they’re all 75, it’ll be the end of this pop fucking bullshit. We were a part of one revolution and it didn’t work so we have to start a new revolution and we have to overthrow this motherfucking crap again. And we will win. We will win, we will fuckin’ win. ... ‘Cause what do you got? And do we got? We got two things. We got heart, we got motherfucking rock power. (screams))

Iha: How is, how is everybody, how is everybody doing to-day?
BC: James. The day is over. It’s tonight.
Iha: Oh. Is it tonight tonight or is it today...today?
BC: It’s today today. Yesterday was yesterday but tomorrow will be...tonight when it’s the night.
Iha: I completely forgot.
Today
Blue Skies Bring Tears
> Bullet with Butterfly Wings
> Once in a Lifetime
you might ask yourself
why am i incapable of crying real tears?
you might ask yourself
is my community my peers or my fears?
you might ask yourself
does the way i dress say something about me or you?
you might ask yourself
what’s a boy supposed to do?
into the blue again
water flowing underground
letting the days go by
water flowing underground
you might ask yourself
who is that fucking guy on stage?
you might ask yourself
what does he know about me and my life?
you might ask yourself
why does everyone think that my dad is gay?
you might ask yourself
if my dad is gay, does that mean my mom is gay too?
once in a lifetime
water flowing underground
into the blue again
water flowing underground
what?!
what’s goin’ on? i wanna know
whoa!
across [unintelligible word], the distance of open time, i walk a fine line of indecision, prohibition, no commission, no time left for inhibition
[4-5 unintelligible words]
(screams)
whoa!
what the fuck?!
yeah!
no time wasted
moments only now
prohibition of an afterthought
time of wow
no tomorrows, only todays, yesterday is a fleeting time, wars, forgiveness, pagan screamings
i know this has no meaning, i know this has no meaning, i know this has no meaning
what...the...fuck...is...going...on?!
whoa!
that’s right, bumph
rock and roll, that’s right
go!
causal relationships [2-3 unintelligible words], time being of the essence, gotta keep moving, gotta find the epiphany, gotta reach inside the stomach, astral meanings, gasp for forgiveness, the dollars we live have brought us to this moment of occasion, just let me be what you want me to be, let me ask this question, let me rile the beast, (screaming) what the fuck is goin’ on, what the fuck is goin’ on, what the fuck is goin’ on, (screams)
(screams)
(song ends)
Iha: Thanks, thanks.
BC: The revolution is faaaaaaaar from over.
[encore break]
Blank Page
BC: Thank you. Hey, uh...we’re puttin’ back up our website, so I wanted to shoot you for our website.
Iha: Let me - let me see those hands. Woo. They’re crazy. Thank you very much for your participation. I’d like to make a quick introduction. He’s already been introduced but we’ll introduce him again: Mr. Jimmy Chamberlin on the drums. On the digital camera, Mr. Billy Corgan. Yes. And on the bass (pronounced like the fish) guitar and socialism, Ms. Melissa Auf der Maur. And now we go back to a golden age when dinosaurs roamed and grunge reigned. This is a nice old song, we hope you like it.
Cherub Rock
Iha: Thank you.
