Breonne (junebaby) 14"I'm not obsessed with what he looks like or the things he does, but what he writes.The lyrics to his songs are absolutely amazing . . . some of the only poetry being written to music in this sad generation of pop phenoma and fake superstars.I don't like singling him out from the rest of the band (they all are awesome) but I love his music. I'm not sure if his music is a direct interpretation of his soul, but, if it is, it's truely beautiful.It's been said that he doesn't accept himself, but that makes him seem even more real, and all we need in this life is someone to say exactly how inadequate he feels."

Joanna Dorfman,17 "Well, thats kind of a personal matter, but I can say that he was an important artistic influence to me in a very dark, empty time of my life."

Bobbi, 15"The love of my life my reason to wake up each morning."

Kate Phelps,15 "Billy Corgan is god.I love Billy. Billy Corgan is god. I cannot imagine a world without Him."

Donna, 20" Billy my one and only!!!!! Billy oh billy .... he means everything to me, love, hate, wonder, surprise, peace, happiness, lonliness, anger and fear,shelter and warmth all at once. Hes so great but im sure you all know that.... I love him dearly with all the love you give anyone for his musical influence and for writting the most beautiful songs which have helped me in the worse of situations and not to mention in the best.... he makes me laugh and cry and ponder on life which has helped me so much in chosing the right paths in life..... to sum it all up billy for me, means beauty, in every way shape and form....."

Skyla Shelton, 14" Billy means a way to escape from the world, a way to express your true self . Billy is knowing that everything is going to be okay.Billy is the most wonderful person I know and I wish others could appreciate him and his music as much as I have."

Alyssa Schoeffler, 15" To me, Billy means that wherever I am or whoever I'm with, if I think of him, his band, or his music,I'm at home."

Betty Davis, 14" He means everything to me. He is my world. He is my god, my sun, my moon, my light, and my fuckin dark. He is everything and then some."

Angie Merriman,16 "The lyrics, the hate, pain, and love in them, mixed with the amazing music that only he could think of - there's only one. His songs drive me to hate and tears and pain and love and every other fucking emotion ever thought of. I can't imagine a world without him."

Andrea Duncan, 17 " Well it would take me days to answer this question, But what the heck. He means the world to me. If he were to ever die I would have nothing else to live for. Sure i'm attractive and have guys chasing me, But no one is as smart,charming,sexy,different,and artistic. I write a ton of poetry and him and I are just alike.Lets put it this way, when Billy shaved his head i knew why, because he wanted a change, a difference in his style."

Keri Hejl, 22 "Billy Corgan means alot to me. Me and him think alot alike, and i love the way he expresses himself through his music."

Jennifer Webber , 14 "When someone says "Billy Corgan" the words "creative" and "talented" come to mind. I've listened to the Pumpkins for over a year now and I've never been more greatly inspired by a band ever. Billy Corgan, I believe was meant to write. His writings to me are like a piece of art. He's been someone who I've been able to look up to and understand, helping me get through various personal problems. When I'm going through a hard time, if I just listen or even take a glimpse of Billy, I feel more comforted because I know that he understands what it's like to be a teenager and how hard life can be, which is a great comfort."

Ashley Durec,15 "Billy Corgan is more than words can describe. He is the moon and stars which fill my night sky. He is my light atthe end of the tunnel. He is one of the rare people who is beautiful both on the inside and out. I realized that I was in lovewith him at when I saw him at the MCIS concert in Edmonton 96. Though I couldn't actually see the stage from my crappy seat, I could stil image him, a screaming and writhing mad angel, filling us with hope of dawm of a better tomorrow. To all fans out there, ROCK ON!! We are the true believers, and don't listen to those who would diss SP and BC and say Hanson and Aqua and Backstreet Boys are good music. keep the Aeroplane High Flyin'. Je toujours l'aimerai."

Jesica,16 "Billy Corgan means worlds to me...his music makes me feel better and understood when I've had a bad day...the picture I have of him on my wall makes me just have to smile and de-stress. Billy's just amazing."

Mike Sacca, 15" He rules most of my daily activities."

Dennise Shaffer, 28 " Billy means everything to me. I dream of the day I will meet him. When I hear him sing, I'm thinking, man, he's just like me. If I could just meet him, I know we would know exactly how I feel about everything. He's the world to me, and I know we're destined to meet."

Nicole Hnatiw, 16" Billy Corgan is a great inspiration and he means a lot to me in spirit, emotion and for motivation. I find myself listening to his voice even at the earliest hours of the morning. He puts me to sleep at night, wakes me up in the morning, and keeps me going through the day. It is amazing how much the man and I have in common, and it is for this reason that I have a great deal of respect for him although he is a big name in the music business and all over the world, he still insists on being an average joe, just like the rest of us. I'm not obsessed or anything, because I do have someone else to love in my life, but I try to think that someday Billy and I will meet, whether it's just a passing nod on the street or having lunch with that beauty someday when I'm old. i don't know. Anyway, he is someone I cherish deeply and admire a whole lot. Billy Corgan is basically my Hero. His talent is amazing, his philosophies are enlightening and his ability to cope with bad ! situations is uncomparible. He is the best of the best and the coolest of the cools."

Hecubus, 16 "Billy is all that is. He is light, hope, mischief, wonder and surprise all wrapped up into one neat little, well not that little, package.Although he towers over the world with his intelligence and obvious hight, he is also compassionate and can be weak at times with pure enjoyment of life. I often find myself crying for this man for no particular reason except that I just love him immensly. I dream of him constantly and each time I wake up with even more love and emotion for this man. He is delight, happiness, love, hate, sadness, all that is good, every emotion I feel, every tear I cry, crazy, wicked, enchanting , open, closed, young, old, a mixture of heart shaped valentines, hero, alone, crowded, desire, a gut wrenching pain of emptiness and what is not deserved, a goal, heartbreaking, lovely, exquisite, beautiful, gorgeous, a genius, 99% of my heart, 99% of my soul, clean, sexy, faith, bright, a star, a moon, a sky, an easy chair, a resting place, an open heart, sentimental, cheery, depressed, glad, happy, snied, wishfull, hopefull, all together, thoughtful, enlighting, helpful, GOD, my own piece of heaven, a credit to life, life itself, birth, sweet, bitter, angry, smart, playful, insightful, distant, and Billy Corgan is truely the love of my life. I couldn't think of anyone I would want to love more. If I could, I would get down on my knees and pray to him, but I know that it wouldn't do any good. Although Billy is indeed a saint, he is still too far away and too busy to even notice that there is someone out there who would give up the world for him. He is God's gift to the green Earth. I admire him, adore him, respect him and love him all at the same time. He is everything to me and I know that someday he will climb out of his shadow and let loose of all those bad memories and feelings and finally realize that he is worth fighting for. He is and inspiration and my hero. My lungs fill up with pure beauty at the sight of this man, and almost explode with young breath as I hold in the feeling of admiration. I don't think I have adored anyone more."

Kristin Mason, 15"I can't explain what he means to me really..hes just the greatest person alive..you know, his singing, writing, not to mention he's gorgeous. He is my god."

Jacqueline LaBatte,15" Billy Corgan a lot to me. I am always talking about him and have a million pictures of him on my walls. Billy means practically the world to me. I really would do anything for him. His voice goes like, straight to my heart."

Stasi Casad,16 "I think he is the most talented, hottest, smartest,best, all around greatest artists of all time!!!! ALL HAIL BILLY CORGAN ROCK N ROLL GOD!!!!!!!!!!"

Jeff Steinman, 23" I can listen to him and hear something new, another emotion every time. Doesn't matter if it is the first time hearing a song or the hundredth. His lyrics are a window to not only his soul but anyone who has an appreciation for what he is. The William Shakespeare of music."

Darleen Hostetler,14" Billy Corgan means the world to me, he is the light of all that is good. The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band of all time, and knowing that HE leads this miracle is the greatest thing ever."

Tiffany,16"I have a great respect for Billy Corgan. He is very original and he is the best guitar player ever!"

Amy Maus (AKA Porceline Star), 15 " Billy Corgan means a great human being, though I often wonder if he really is human...it's so extraordinaire for one to be so sexy, intelligent, heart-felt, and talented. He means being yourself, not caring about other's opinion. Being yourself to let the music flow."

Melissa Meyer, 15" Billy is the BEST guitar player, musician, lyricist, anything i have ever encountered. What else can i say, I LOVE BILLY"

Shannon Charland, 15 "He is my God. My role model and my Celeb crush with our him i would be a totally differnt person i worship him and the groud he walks on with him i need no God!"

Lisa Corgan, 15 "BILLY CORGAN MEANS LIKE A LOT TO ME AND STUFF I CANT EVEN PUT IT ON PAPER HOW MUCH HE MEANS TO ME SO I'LL JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT..."

Arielle,14 "Ok, every wonderful, interesting, cool person I know I either met or have remained friends with because of Billy. My best friend and I are best friends because of Billy's music, which we both relate to and get along better with each other for. I taught myself to play guitar because siamese dream was the most beautiful thing I had ever heard and I wanted to be able to do it. Since I could play guitar I was in a band, in which I met my evil, hideous, twisted ex-boyfriend, who introduced me to this guy named mica, who is one of the coolest people I know. I met my wonderful boyfriend, who I feel is my soulmate, because he was at mica's party, and, in a twist of fate, he happened to also be of a pumpkins inclination as well. I love him more than anything in the whole world, and I never would have met him if it wasn't for Billy. So Billy means everything to me because everything that means something to me happened because of Billy."

Mandy Jewell, 18"Billy is my everything. For the past 4 years I have done absolutely nothing but praise Billy. He is my God,and being the genius that he is, has given me strength to live on and to be a better person and a more devoted Pumpkins fan. Still I believe that there are no words on this planet, that could express my love and compassion towards our own personal God,William Patrick Corgan Jr."

Sarah Marie York aka Stella, 14" What he means to me????????? he means everything to me........... I mean because of him I over came suicide... I love you Billy!!!!! 4 ever and ever! heres a poem I wrote just for him: I had a heart so warm and true but nows its gone from me to you. so take care of it as I have done 4 Billy's got 2 and I have none. I luv Billy Cogan now and 4ever!!! By the way Holly and all you smartasses at school I hope you all fuckin go to the land down under, and not fuckin australlia I mean HELL bitches!!! and as for me I will be in Billy's heaven laughin my ass off at you, you fuckin assholes...and yes I am a loser. not to mention a ZERO!!!"

Jakob33, 16 "He is the inspiration of all my musical creations, and is the one that originally got me started in music."

Kenny Cremin,14"Billy is the person I turn to when I feel sad or if I just want to rock."

Carmen Reynaga, 17 " HE MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME I TALK TO MY PILLOW BECAUSE IT IS NAMED BILL IT IS THE CLOSEST I WILL EVER BE TO BILLY. I ASK HIM TO WATCH OVER ME AND ALL OF HIS OTHER PUMPKIN CHILDREN AND ALLOW ME TO WAKE AND TO DECLARE HIS GREATNESS ANOTHER DAY. NOT A MOMENT GOES BY THAT I DON' THINK ABOUT WHAT HE WOULD DO IF HE WAS IN MY SITUATIONS I TRY MY BEST TO MAKE HIM PROUD OF ME."

Laurie Angels, 16"uhhh jeesh, I didn't see this box! I explained it above, but here I go again. OK. Billy Corgan is extremely smart and I have a deep respect for him. He once said he wanted his music to seep into people's heads and become their thoughts. And that is EXACTLY what he does for me. Sometimes I go im my room, put on Pisces Iscariot, and I forget it's on. He is a musical genius. He is the musicain, poet philosopher, and artist of our time as I said before. At least thats how I feel. I think he really understands his fans, and he respects those who respect him. I don't know what I would do if there was not Billy and no Smashing Pumpkins. The world would be missing out on a great."

Jupiter, 15"Billy is everything that is beautiful..."

Jen Hemstreet,15" I can't think of a way to write 'What Billy Corgan Means To Me' without sounding like I don't know what I'm talking about. He's a very sexy man, but that's not why I like him. It's everything. Everything he says and everything he doesn't have to say. I don't have a story to tell the Pumpkins haven't 'helped me through hard times' or anything... They're just a really great band. You know what I mean. Billy torched his soul for so long, and he deserves more credit than he's been given. I'd sell my soul to look into his eyes just once, I swear it. That's who I am. "I never liked me anyway..."

Anna Hagel, 14 " Billy Corgan is a god. He means everything. I have every cd and tons of posters!! He means hot guy with a nice voice that can jam on the guitar and write love songs at the same time."

Rocket,15 " Billy means almost the world to me. The only thing that means more is his music, and music in general. I want to meet him to see what he's like!"

Aaron Wilson, 14"I think he understands about alot of the different obstacles that come before everyone and I believe he prepares us for that.. and he's not selfish like other band members are..he cares about the way his music sounds and the type feeling it demonstrates and he knows what he's doing!"

Neal Owens, 17 "Billy is a great guitar player and his music can get me through any situation I am going through. He is also a very smart man."

Jamie Briggs, 15"ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN IN WORDS WHAT BILLY MEANS TO ME."

Lena Marie, 14" I think that he is the best guitar player ever and that he is a very gifted individual."

Bethany,16" um......he rules.....to me he is a vent for all of my anger.."

Megan, 15" UM EVERYTHING!!!!!!! I listen to Sp when I wake up before I go to sleep. I HAVE A CAT NAMED BILLY. What else can I say??????"

Donald, 16"All that I need to say is "freedom".

Debbie, 14" ~sigh I kind of already did this but here I go.....Billy means a lot to be, he's my hero. In fact, right now, I'm writing an english essay on a modern hero and I picked Billy. By the way, if anybody wants to help me write this it would be greatly appreciated. I have this book that I bought at spencer's in the mall (which also happens to be the most wonderful store) it's like a biography of the pumpkins and it says a lot about Billy and I learned a lot from it. It actually changed my views on a lot of things as well as my attitude. And seeing that the music industry is so full of shit, I give Billy a lot of credit just for holding the band up and going through what he's been through. ::::deep breath:::: I could go on but I wont because that would just annoy you right? SORRY"

Monique Boyer, 16" I try not to make Billy into some `superhuman' being, but I really admire what he does. Not a lot of people can see it, (or feel it), but I can understand because I don't feel it with any other band. What Billy writes moves me. With some songs I feel like he was writing my feelings, both lyrically and musically. He is an incredible artist and I admire that he's not afraid to share it with the world. I now go to an arts school, and Billy has inspired me greatly, both in his writing and his intelectuality. I own over 100 songs, and I've memorized almost every word. Billy is definately someone that I will never forget, and someone I will credit if my dreams come true."

Luna, "Hmmm... that's a hard thing to do. He is an excellent musician and songwriter a genious, really, so as a musician and songwriter myself I admire and respect him immincely. He is intelligent and sweet, and his beautiful, ageless songs are straight from his heart to ours (the fans'). His songs and music are very special to me."

Cameo Goss, 17" Billy Corgan is the only possible solution to the riddle of my life - he is there in my soul, my heart, and eveything that embodies life itself in my eyes. I believe in God, and I believe in Billy, and through believing in Billy I have learnt to believe in myself."

Victoria, 28 :He's that peaceful solution to my childhood extremities. My hero in the fairytale and the lover I'll never have. He makes me sometimes feel sad in that natural way that I love feeling."

Baya,20" I can't explain."

Luna (Nicole),15 " He symbolizes sensitivity and sweetness and he is one of the most gifted people on the planet :) "

Angela Tanner,16 "William Patrick Corgan means to me Strength, Sincereness, Hope. With out his music that he has put out, I would have none to be obsessed with. No one to LOVE! He means so much to me, I can barely put it into words."

Panfilo,14"He introduced me to music other than what was popular at school. He made me become a guitarist and be in a band. And his music makes me feel good when I feel low."

Alanna, 14" Um...I can't even explain what Billy means to me, and if I tried, it would probably end up being a whole book, so I'll just put it briefly in the words of Mr. Corgan himself: "The light of all that's good, the light of all that's true"

Veronica, 15" Billy Corgan means perfection, beauty, love, anger, magic, soma, disarm, and everything in between. He is the darkness, the light, and all the shades of grey. He is color inside, and romantic and wonderful."

Isis, 16 " Billy IS God. He is like the perfect being. He is everything a man should be. He is cool enough to almost be it, fool enough to not quite see it. He is the most creative and sensitive musician there is.He doesn't put up that toughass rocker boy act. He is just himself."

Nick Martin, 13"He is the greatest musician ever, best ever on the guitar. And best ever in the US all around."

Stacey, 16"What a funny question. I never really thought about it before! Well... he means calmness, like, he puts me in another world. I also listen to ska and I listen to the pumpkins when I'm happy and sad. Ska doesn't put me in another world. Billy and his voice does."

Alexis Trebley, 16,"Billy has helped me through some very trying times in my life. He means more than I have space to write."

Petra,16" Billy Corgan means a lot to me because his music has soul and inspiration. He has taught me how to be an interesting and insightful person and my goal in life is to meet him as an equal in music. He will always be special to me because of his courage in life and his insight into the way music should sound."

Lauren VanHaaften-Schick,15 "Billy Corgan is light of all that's pure, the light of all that's true. I'm not one of those stupid little girls who are just like "oh my god, he's so hot!!!!" 24-7, I really respect him, his amazing talent, and how he tuoches so many people in such a special way. To be able to affect so many people in so many ways as he has, is truly an amazing feat. "

Ashley, 12"What he means to me:GOD, best guitarist, best songwriter/writer, my hero, best singer, the only reason for living"

Medellia Corgan,16" In one word, Billy corgan means everything to me."

Amy,22"Billy is my life."

Kristin Harding,15"From the time I wake up in the morning till the time I go to bed at night his voice float around in my head. Like some sort of beckoning from God himself. Without Billy (or the pumpkins) my life wouldn't be complete. There would be a black hole in my heart, some kind of emptiness."

Simon Thomas, 20 "His music takes me to another planet. Simple as that."

Yukon Cornelius, 29"Billy Corgan is a pisces-sheep. To me, he symbolizes my life. For example, muzzle is the song that depicts my life. I don't want to be like everyone, I want to be different. My life HAS been blessed, cursed and won. To me, Billy represents the truthfulness of life.bye.be happy."

Anon ,17"I feel that Billy Corgan is my best friend because of his music( lyrics )"

Lina, 17 "Billy is to me what water is to the flowers..and what the wind is to a sailing boat..he brings me forward in life, makes me want to write my own music, and live now he is my everything and I will always admire him, knowing he will always be the a rock ´n´roll god."

Chelsea C.,15"Billy Corgan is EVERYTHING. Just knowing someone else does truely know.....Billy always!!"

Rachel Scherer, 15 "Billy Corgan is my poetic influence. He believes in cutting the crap, being real, no matter who's offended. He thinks circles around those who judge him. I aspire to be like him. He's absolutely beautiful."

Keith Brady, 21"The commitment to geatness.Corgan ACTUALLY SPEAKS TO me,that is to say,the deepest caverns of my sub-concious."

Jess Yesin, 15"What he means to me....he is, well, I dunno what he means to me, he doesn't "mean to me", its just his music seems to hit hard to home."

Robert Dewar,18 " When I was young there was an empty hole in my heart that only music could fill. For years I searched, until one day I stumbled across the pumpkins. Billy is the pupmkins and must be hailed."

Leslie Cornell, 16 " I used to think that Chris Cornell from Soundgarden was the best until I heard Billy's voice and his wonderful talent of writing music and guitar playing. :) "

Matthew Looker, 15"Everything."

Sophie Mayers,15

Randy Spears, 19"There was a time in my life when I was devoid of any feeling. Every day was difficult just to make it through. All I had in those days were my smashing pumpkin albums. If not for the completely magnificient music he brought to me daily, I may not be alive today."

Katie , 14" Billy is essential in my life. I don't know where I would be today without him. Probably a hanson worshiper or something. I cant even express the emotion I get when I hear his sweet voice on the radio or the opening chords of "today." The smashing pumpkins are the world to me, and I wish one day, just one, I would be able to tell billy how much a part of my life he is, and I will forever love and cherish him and his soul. He is love, mystery, laughter, sadness, and beauty all in one. Billy is a God."

Alanna Victoria Kempthorne, 16" He is my hero. I am serious. A year ago I lost all my friends, my birth mother told me she didn't want me in her life in any way after deserting me for 15 years, I was depressed and I was in the middle of slashing my wrist when I heard on my stereo "Believe in me as I believe in you tonight" and "Your not stuck in vain". I decided then that I wanted to live so that I could grow up and try to make music as good as Billy's so that maybe I could help a kid with my lyrics the way Billy's helped me. I love him for living, cause if he didn't, I wouldn't be.:-) "

DivaEmma ,15 "Billy Corgan is my immortal idol and precious being. I want to be a part of anything that has to do with him. That and fabulous music."

Solveig Juslin, 23 "He is the greatest man on earth. I LOVE HIM. He makes my world spinn fast."

Jens Östlund, 16 " A GUITAR GOD AND A GREAT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION.... WRITES REALLY GOOD LYRICS TOO."

Monica Alexis, 15 "Billy is an inspiration in a way for me... Billy is one of many, but definatley my favorite, of musicians and other people I admire who are immortalized all over my walls in pictures collages etc. created by me... Billy is a 'rock star' and a 'celebrity' and so not a 'friend', simply the soothing voice of a stranger who knows."

Lya Edwards, 12 " EVERYTHING!"

Mark, 18 "If it weren't for Billy , I don't think that I would be alive today...and I definitely would not be the person that I am ...for some magical reason, one day I realized what Billy was singing about ...and I realized that my name could be substituted into all of his songs...I walk unadorned, but it is because of Billy that I survive....."

Forsythia, 12 "Words can not explain what Billy means to me."

Kelly, 19 "No one understands what he means to me... He is the inspriration of all of my poetry and of everything I do with my life. He is amazing and I want to be a part of him so bad it hurts me to look at him. I need this, I need him...."

Mike Jones, 19"Billy kicks ass."

Amy Ikerman, 17 " He has devotion. He has been through some rough times, but he hasn't quit."

Venus, 20 "He shows me that not all guys are stupid horny idiots."

Tubro,17 "Billy Corgan is an innovational songwriter in a day where music seems like last week's smash hit once again reprocessed. He represents creativity, skill, and a passion for his work. He strives for diversity in his music, every song of his has a different personality, a different soul. The topics of his music are applicable to each of our lives and we learn from him. As students admiring our teacher we realize that Billy has created something unexplainable, something beyond music."

Catherine Wade,13" What kind of a question is that??? He's just a good looking guy with an excellent voice who is really really cool, heheh, but I'm sorry I can't call him god, maybe I can actually. I dunno."

Heather Cameron, 16" I COULDNT EVEN PUT IT IN WORDS...BUT HE INSPIRES ME."

Betty, 16 "BILLY CORGAN MEANS THE WORLD TO ME!!!!"

Sara Kreil, " Billy Corgan is the magic, the magician, and the illusion. Everything he does is a small reflection of what is and what will become. He is the sun, the moon, the victim, the murderer, the rain, and all that grows under him. He is god while everyone else is simply a peasant to what he is and everything more that he will become. He's all that I love and love I would kill myself and anyone else for. In my lonely world, he has taken my wounded heart and healed it. I've granted him the possesion of my soul and all my ambitions are linked to what he has changed in me and those around me. He is everything and he rules everything. Those who cannot see it, cannot believe it, will forever walk down the darkest tunnel into the blazing fire and burn. Time has made us inseperable, but he has made it worthwhile."

Mikael Tenhunen, 15 "I don't believe in worshipping other people, but, billy means something special to me, Fuck! that's kinda strange! I don't even know the man! Well anyway, music is to me: I'm sitting on a hill with the only friend that understands me, and we silently gaze over the suburban lights. I lay my head down and watch at the stars... and BOOOM! SMASHING PUMPKINS! FUCK! IT FEELS SO GREAT!"
