How you feelin’, you alright? We played in uh, where were we last night? Clearwater! More like Murkywater, heh heh. They didn’t know what to think of this shit right here, man. They were all like sitting down and confused and...they were all waiting for those songs they knew, heh, I don’t know why would they want that, heh heh heh. Why would you wanna hear songs you know? Anyway, but thank you, thank you for rockin’ us good tonight. Alright. Like to take a moment to introduce the band to you. On guitar, Mr. Jeff Schroeder. Aren’t you gonna tip your cap to the people? There ya go. On the bass guitar, Mrs. Ginger Pooley. I have to say, you were pretty good before you were married, but since you were married, you’re playin’ some mean bass, heh heh heh. I don’t know what that’s about, I don’t know what that’s about, you’re just gettin’ into it, yeah, heh heh, rrrr. On the keys, Ms. Lisa Lisa.

Jeff: [unintelligible].
BC: Alright, but as a special surprise, we’re gonna take it one notch higher, one notch higher. We’d like to play a song for you off the Adore album. You didn’t buy it then, but you like it now, we understand. This is our first time appearing on stage together, I’d like to bring out my niece, Ms. Ava Corgan. Let me say something! You don’t buy my albums, I get that, but you’d better buy hers, heh heh. You remember that. She’s got the crazy Corgan gene, you know, you gotta understand that. (to Ava) Right? Did you wave, did you do a wave? Give the people a wave. (Ava waves) There you go. You’re not nervous, are you? (no reaction from Ava) Are you nervous? Just a little bit? (crowd chanting “Ava! Ava!”, followed by Billy starting guitar for next song) Now this song here...I wrote for my mother, Martha Louise Corgan Lutz.
Once Upon a Time (acoustic, with Ava Corgan)

BC: [tape cuts in] We’ve started a fund for tattoo removal for the poser bands. Lots of full sleeves out there, just waiting to rock you. Heh heh heh. Anyway. We’d like to dedicate this song of hope to you. Because you are our future. Yay, the future. Let’s hope we get there! This song is for you, thank you.
