BC: Thank you very kindly.  Like to give a little shoutout to the staff at [[Madame ZuZu's|Zuzu’s]] for putting this on.  Thank you to [[w:Tower Records|Tower Records]] for making this possible, thank you so much, Tower Records.  Amazing.  And uh, of course, I’d like to thank my partner, now my wife, we got married yesterday.  Hahahaha!  Chloe -– [[Chloe Mendel Corgan|Chloe Corgan]].  Thank you, Chloe Corgan, for making this possible.  Just think about this: ‘bout three weeks ago I called Chloe and I said, “I know we’re getting married on Saturday but can we ''(laughing)'' do an acoustic gig with the band to celebrate [[Siamese Dream]]’s 30th anniversary on the Sunday afterwards?”  She said no.  The marriage was off and uh...no, but thank you, Chloe, amazing, thank you.  And to, uh, put this all into context, uh, Chloe was one year old when I wrote this next song.  That is true.  Heh heh.  Or as the, uh, the local mayor here, Nancy Rotering, our friend, a great mayor, um, did the vows yesterday, did the officiating yesterday and part of her remarks, she said to -– of course to our friends and family and of course the band was there –- she said, uh, “The first time I saw Billy and Chloe together, I thought she was his niece.”  That was in the wedding ceremony, by the way.  And the, uh, later in the evening, one of Chloe’s brothers, uh, in giving the, you know, the traditional speech, said, um, um, “I wanna thank Billy for being such a great father to Chloe.”  Heh!  Heh heh.  Heh, heh.  Heh heh heh heh.  You havin’ a good time?  ''(crowd cheers)''  Okay, you ready there?  Here we go.
