I Don’t Mind
BC: [cuts in] Thank you, Dublin, thank you! That’s the end of the show. (crowd says “no”) Yes, it’s the end of the show. I would keep playing but I noticed a few people not paying attention and I just couldn’t handle it. Just kidding, maybe. Heh heh heh. Nah, we don’t play that song anymore, hahaha. So yeah, it’s the end of the show, thank you very much for a great concert, amazing! Jimmy? (crowd cheers) No! I was gonna ask Jimmy a question, don’t interrupt me. Jimmy...best crowd in Europe? (Jimmy raises a fist) Fuckin’ Irish, gettin’ it done! Hahaha. And ladies, I’m still looking for an Irish wife, okay? Corgan...I’m Irish, I need an Irish wife. There she is! Honey, heh heh, where have you been? Shit, man, it’s lonely on the road, baby. Anyway, we love you, we appreciate our fans very much. How many fans out there, how many fans this was the first time you got to see the Pumpkins? (crowd cheers) See? We get this shit done, right? We ain’t up here doin’ no fuckin’ fake Pro Tools rock bullshit, alright? There’s a reason we crawled outta the fuckin’ ‘90s, okay? ‘Cause we fuckin’ rock. Yeah!
