Matt is a fine upstanding man, fortunately he is *unintelligible*, but what do we do about it? just kidding, just... Corgan: now, we started a new tradition with our show. This is normally the part of the show where we invite some people from the audience to get up on stage with us, alright...wait a second, wait a second... Iha: settle the fuck down Corgan: hold on, now, this is one of those new traditions, new traditions, doesnt mean we do it everynight, usually, when a crowd is very quiet, suspiciously quiet, we dont do the dancing... Iha: why is that? Corgan: so you tell me why you've been suspiciously quiet...now, we've been a band for about nine years, played alot of concerts, and theres only a couple reasons, two or three reasons why a crowd is suspiciously quiet. Reason number one is that it sounds bad. Does it sound bad? raise your hand for yes...so it sounds good, ok...possible reason number two is that we suck...raise your hand if we suck...ok then the only other reason is that you suck...thank you very much, alright we'll do that dance concert... Iha: that is a rather damning Corgan: I appreciate your honesty...no we're just teasing you now Iha: that is a rather damning statement Corgan: I know you're not used to the psychedelic cyber--yeah, fuck you too! that guys had a little too much of the ocean breeze inside his brain...anyway, now, we've had a nice show, thank you so much for coming, its just uh, you scared us with your uh, your quietness, but you're all still here so I guess thats a good sign so...
