Andy "Pumpkinhead" Appleton, 12 "Billy Corgan is my hero. I always try to be like him no matter what I do. In fact I started a band with the same amount as members and the same instuments as the pumpkins because they kick so much ass!"
LyNDsaY ZerO, 18"Oh, nothing...just the whole world. I love my sweet sweet. He is literally the only reason I know of to live...I tried suicide in 96 because I got the Jonathan Melvion info mixed up and thought it was Billy who died...."
James Kandutsch, 16 "He's like a hero. An idol who inspired to play the guitar. and play pumpkins songs."
Erin Cater, 14 " Life and Death... hehe just kidding.... he's the voice of my generation... in my humble opinion.... like I previously said... I can identify with his lyrics... well most of them... like Ugly..."
Allo Toi, 18 " He's someone who can show many diffrent feelings with his music. He is not limited in a specific style. He's a great songwriter, producer, guitarist."
Eric Watson, 15 "Billy Corgan means hours of love and pleasure!!! (Listening to his music of course) Billy Corgan is my idol... Like I said before... He Rulez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Trenttina, 15 " Billy Corgan is one of the most talented people to ever live and through his music he has brought much joy to my life."
Kathryn, 14 "What does Billy Corgan mean to me? Only everything. He is my idol, my role model, my inspiration, my father. (No, of course he's not really my dad I just like to pretend that he is becuase he's like a father figure to me.) Ever since I first began a fan of the Smashing Pumpkins two years ago, I knew that there was something strikingly different about this man from any other musician - or human being - I have ever known. His powerful music and his beautiful lyrics reach into the very depths of my soul, and I love and admire him more than I ever thought it possible to love and admire someone. William Patrick Corgan Junior, I love you."
Samantha Kubeck, 15 " Billy Corgan is the most inspiring person. I love him. I love his music I love what he stands for. Billy is god."
Mandy Eattock, 17 "Billy Corgan has many various meanings to me. He has always given me hope when I felt like I couldn't go on. Billy has sympathized with me when I was depressed. He has given me the courage to be strong, when I was weak. He's given me a reason to not be ashamed of crying. For lack of a better term, Billy has made me realize that I can't change the way I am and I have to go on, no matter how hurt, angry, lonely, depressed,etc. I am. All in all, my life and my view on life, has become clearer with the fact that my cure, my heaven, is in the music of the Pumpkins."
DRC,13 "I feel Billy is the best songwriter. He inspires all my work . Listening to him has given me confidence in myself to become a musician. I think Billy deserves some more recognization for all he does . His music really does change people . It changed me . I'm glad there is someone out there who's music can do so much for people . Help them see the all there is to see in themselves. Those people who dislike him don't know what they're missing. They can go their own way . Only true fans stay with the best!"
Brad Woodhouse, 18 "I am learning the guitar and he is just such a damn good player and he writes such good stuff that I just wish I could do that as well(he is a bit of a hero!!)"
Ruby Raven, 17 "Billy Corgan is everything, my heart, my soul, the only thing that keeps me alive. He speaks through His soul to everyone, and is a beautiful person who writes His sacred heart into His lyrics. He means the world to me, He means words that are inexpressable, He is God, and I love Him, always and forever."
Charlene Stunkard, 15 "He has molded my life into what it is now. He is my heart and my soul, he is the very one who makes me whole."
Sarah Taverner, 15 "One of the biggest rock legends of all time and my idol."
Allison Sharp, 14 "Billy is incredibly talented, plus he's extremely sexy. The Smashing Pumpkins have been my favorite band for the past 3 years, and they'll always be my favorite.

Sean McGraw, 17 "Easy hair styling and good music."
Holly Hubbard, 19 "He's tall, tall, and very bald and I like it."
Davey Bartlett, 14 "He means insipiration, with his songwriting and personality."
Jenn Davidson (aka Medellia),16 "He's the man who has written the songs that have gotten me through some very dark times in my life. I went through a major depressive spell not too long ago, and listening to his songs made me feel as if there was someone out there who knew and understood what I was going through."
Flood*, 18 "Billy Corgan and the Smashing Pumpkins are so inspiring to me and my band..."Carniverous Caterpillar." (we're working on our website...)"
Greg Donovan, 16 "God"
Jackie Pumpkin, 15 "First of all he is f*cking hot, he has the most amazing voice and he is everything anybody would want in a guy."
Tiffany, 16 "Billy Corgan means very much to me. Without his great music I would be lost! He is an inspiration to me. I wanna be like Billy when I grow up!"
Kelly, 16 "He means everything. He's the most intelligent person. The most tlented. Plus he understands me through his music."
Beth Strough, 17 "Everything, and I don't mean that lightly, without the songs he sings of pain and passion, love and hate, I doubt I would even be alive right now. That man has saved my life in more ways than one and for that I owe my life to him. Without the smashing pumpkins, I belive I would still be the loser I use to be, picked on by everyone in the class room and left alone to die in my own shadows. I don't think every one will understand, but I am truly saved by this man and his music. I only wish I could thank him personally.Thank you Billy."
Muzza, 16 "He seems to be the only dammed guitarist in the world who is actually trying to be original, and his lyrics are unbeatable. I know it's a cliche' but i just listen to the music and think maybe he understands- cringing yet? (i'm glad you're a girl, it kind of justifies things a little)"
Patrice, 16 "Although I love the band as a whole, I'm not sure if I could say the same if Billy Corgan was not 99% of it. I feel that people often look at the pretty (very pretty) face and don't see the imaginable talent and beauty that Billy brings to everything he is involved with. Billy puts everything he has into writing his music, and his poetic lyrics, which is actually what they are, poetry. Billy was once a poet and also a philosopher. I think that putting beautiful music together with beautiful words is almost too much talent for one person to have, but it's Billy, he can do anything. Thanks."
Susan Innes, 35 "If you saw my room you'd know. You'd also see all the other musicians I love as well. Billy Corgan means alot to me because he's right on the money. A very talented individual. His music and that voice sends my hairs standing on ends."
Keith, 17 "Billy Corgan is a song writing genius, and the best musician in the entire world. He's the best when it comes to music."
Nam-hee, 16 "Not what, WHO. He's a great achiever and a beautiful and inspirational person."
Catherine Pedersen, 17 "That man means a great deal to me. I have listened to his songs every day since I first heard of The Smashing Pumpkins in 1995. The songs give me joy and comfort and hope when things seem real bad. I think William Patrick Corgan jr. is the most perfect person in the whole wide world! I wish there were more persons like him..."
Aaron Blacklock, 16 "Billy Corgan Means Not A God but A saviour who saved Grunge and Music for me. His influence keeps me alive and going everyday."
Daniel Osborn "(I am sorry this is so long, but I am sure if you read it, you will be glad you did)About three months ago, I fell in love with the Pumpkins. Actually, I have listened to one of their albums for quite some time now. Billy Corgan is the most creative guitarist as well as song writer I have ever known of. I have a band and every song I try to write I try to make them sound like something he would approve of. Whenever I listen to music, I always play his music. You may think that I am obsessed and, well, I agree. I guess it's more of a type of love for his music. I love the Pumpkins. Actually, it is awesome to know that there are people that feel the same way I do. I would like to get to know some of you. If you know when the Smashing Pumpkins will be near Alabama please let me know. Oh yeah, my e-mail is nonfunctional as of now but, if you would please take the time to write me through the mail, I would most certainly appreciate it. I am a fan who would like to find some more people who are in love with the pumpkins the way I am. I would especially like to get to know you because you loved them enough to start a page like this. My adress is 79 Lee Rd 238, Phenix City, Alabama 36870. Please write me. Thanks for your time."
Jenn Davidson, 16 "Billy means a lot to me. He is the one who's written the songs that have gotten me through many a tough day. When I put on a Pumpkins record, it feels the same as a conversation with a friend, one who's seen the same tough times as I and has gotten through them. He's an inspiration to me."
Sarah York,14 "Billy Corgan means the f*cking world to me because he is so perfect in every way and he deserves to be worshipped and anyone who thinks otherwise is totally f*cked up! I mean he is so much, everything he does is to his highest extent. He is everything I would ever and could ever want in a man and a hundred times more! Billy Corgan I just want to tell you that I will love you always and forever!!!"
Petra, 16 "Billy means so much to me I cannot possibly express it all. He is all that is true and good and everything that has meaning and truth. He has impacted my life in so many ways. Not only is he one of the best guitarists around he is also my idol and my wish is to meet him and thank him for everything he has ever done that has changed my life. Only another true Billy/sp fan can feel the way that I do."
Kate, 20 "Well, I bought Mellon Collie at a shitty time in my life..not only did it cheer me up it took me away from the shitty dance/techno music I had been into for some years... I find solace in Billy lyrics..like a sympathetic ear. And now Adore has come out just as I was breaking up with my b/f..I can link events in my life to Pumpkins songs and because of that their music means so much to me."
Leslie Noble, 15 "He means all of the world to me! I am going to kiss him someday!"
Greg Wiens, 18 "Billy means everything to me. I am not crazy so don't get me wrong when I say that my life revolves around him and his music. Not a day goes by that I don't play at least one pumpkin song. His lyrics get right to my heart and make me feel and think things I have never felt before. Needless to say, Billy is my god."
Rachelina Menzarita, 17 "He means, THE FREAKIN WORLD!! I love Billy and I love meeting other people who love Billy too."
Drue, 16"He's the reason music was put on this earth. To me he means a lot, he's the reason I still play the guitar. He influences me to become what I want. I adore him in every way. Music, lifestyle, way of thinking, everything.......his music is the best...His songs are about problems we all face each day...He understands ........His music and lyrics set the mood...If you are pissed off at the world his songs are there! If you're in love his songs are there!...If you are happy his songs are there! If you are depressed his songs are there! If you don't even know, his songs are there! He's the best musician ever!!!When he passes on, his music and spirit will be in all of us forever!!"
Mark Rozmarynowycz, 18" To me, Billy Corgan is my hope, my future, and my light through this musical void we call earth."
Archie, 20 " Billy is truly a god. There is no other person in Alternative music today that can even match Billy Corgan's level. Whenever I hear his voice sing those beautiful emotional lyrics, it always brings tears of joy to eyes. Also, Billy is probably the best Alternative guitarist living. Overall, William Patrick Corgan Jr. is the best Alternative songwriter of all time. Without Billy's inspiration I would have taken my life years ago. Not even the late great Kurt Cobain can play guitar or write a song as good as Billy.(I hope I didn't offend any hard-core Nirvana fans). Also I would like mention that the Smashing Pumpkings is the greatest band of all time!!!"
Laura, 21 "Billy Corgan in my mind, I'm sure, isn't exactly who he is in real life, but I really admire him. Some people say he has a pompous attitude and is power hungry etc...but they just don't see how he really is. He puts so much pressure on himself because he's smart and talented, and people like us know he is that - so he had to work harder to create new and powerful music...at the same time he has this masculine drive for success and meaning.... He also is very feminine in his gestures and feelings... and most of all - he has great respect for females (for example go read the transcript for ultrasound - the adore version on mtv) Its lovely wonderful and epic all rolled into one. (: "
Jillia-D'arcy Blanchard, 17 "He is a guitar playing god. I can only dream of playing guitar that well."
Gabriel Kleinberg/aka/Glynis, 18 "Well he is the only male or human being for that matter that has connected with me mentally, and emotionally. His music speaks to me through my heart because I know what he feels in all that he writes. If I had only a chance to tell how much his music has impacted my life I would then be ready to die."
Alteima, 16 "Billy Corgan is the matter the Universe is built of...at least MY universe! He is the main inspiration in my writing. Billy Corgan means deep metaphysical stuff that I can't go into right now! I meditate while listening to the Pumpkins.Yay!"
Lexi and Layne, 15 "His music just makes me happy at all times. I can relate to it in my own way. He sings with such emotion... its awesome.. hopefully we could one day meet him, or at least play the guitar as good.. We would like to someday have a band that makes people feel the way that they make us feel.. its kinda unexplanitory... it's just too beautiful.... I dunno.."
Michelle Summers, 18 "I love the pumpkins I have loved them for about 4 years now and I think Billy Corgan is the most talented, brillant, and meaningful artist. Everything he does is a masterpiece."
Andrea, 14 "He means a lot to me. I relate to Billy more than anyone else I know. (And believe me, I know some pretty amazing people.) Billy is a genious in more ways than one. He is creative and innovative. Billy is a god, but on the other hand he is just another normal emotional guy. Rawk on Billy!! "
Kelly, 19 "His music is a sort-of meditation for me. I relate to every aspect of his mind, and every lyric he displays,and every emotion he feels. He has no idea how many mental tragedies his music has lifted me out of, not to mention how much he and his amazing abiilty to write has advertised my poetry in which has made me know. He is my unsought dream and admiration, may he live forever in my heart. Billy is God."
Jamie, 15 "Billy is my lover, my father, my brother and my son. He provides reasons where they need to be, strength, he gives me someone to love when there's no one else. He has inspired my music and my poetry. Sometimes I am ashamed for being like everyone else... but Billy tells me every day that I can be someone different-that within the confines of my personality I can find a little spark that is purely me and that will be my comfort. I can never thank him enough and i hope someday to meet him- I've met him many times in daydreams and my imagination. I just hope to Bog that it's not in an airport...:)"
Lauren, 17 "He is an inspiration to me - his music has kept me going... making me realize things will get better."
CJ, 16 "Love and inspiration"
Peaches, 14 "3 letters-- G O D need i say more?"
Andrew Ashford, 15 "Billy means a lot to me. He's like a good friend that is always there for you. I can listen to his lyrics and quotes and be totally amazed. He means the world to me because everything I've been through, the good and the bad, Billy was there for me."
Jaime, 12 "Billy Corgan is a really cool guy. He is a very talented musician, pianist, and song writer!!! He is also very cute :)"
Hamish Price, 15 "He is a god."
Heather, 14 "He means, to me, an angel from some unknown source. His smile brings wonders and can brighten up anyones day. When you listen to Billy singing..it makes you feel loved..and I can understand everything Billy is trying to say. He's just an angel to the world..there will never be another like Billy Corgan."
Mike Castellanos, 15 "To sum it up, Willam Patrick Corgan jr. is my reason for waking up in the morning. I make an effort to live each day because I know that is one more day to listen to the joy which is Billy Corgan and his band of Pumpkins."It's Pumpkin Luck!" "
Amanda, 20 "Billy is the most beautiful person on this planet and he has talent, creativity, and the best style. Everything I've heard about him is definatly worth admiring. This world definatly wouldn't be the same without him! "
Tyson Griffin, 17 "As you know, Billy is the greatest, straight thinker of this century. With his nobleheaded songs and clear thoughts he produces the greatest anthems one could ask for. The melodies that derive out of him are priceless. But don't overlook James and D'arcy. That seems to be the case majority of the time. They contribute so much to only be looked over by the corporate fuckers who care too much about ratings. Billy is brilliant: He is just a person who knows to make something perfect when it is a near perfect idea."
Erin, 15 "Beauty, Life and LOVE"
Claire Cherry, 19 "D'oh! I thought I did that in the first bit!!If I'm angry, the thought of a his voice and lyrics calms me down. If I'm sad, he cheers me up as I wallow further in self pity - if that makes sense! If I'm happy, it makes me even happier. If I'm scared, I turn his voice up loud and allow it to overtake my fears. If I'm in love, there's always an SP song to make me sigh!!"
Katura, 16 "Hehe, I sorta just said it up there. But...you know, he changed my life with his music and lyrics. I was so depressed for a long long time, and listening to the Pumpkins really helped me feel better. A lot better. Billy is my inspiration and the reason I am still alive today."
Tradeal, 17 "Everything."
Eileen Navarrete, 16 "Billy is basically my counsellor. I know that it seems weird or whatvere but like whenever I feel upset I pop in an ultra kick ass song.Then when I am depressed I listen something more mellow.Then in good moods I can't go without a little bopping to 1979 and now Perfect.So, it's weird to explain what he is to me but it is a lot more than just a couple of words that I have just written."
d_arcy, 15 "He means something deep down inside my heart. Knowing that someone else knows how I feel is out there is so dear. He means a lot, and it's kinda personal in a sense, because words really can't express what I feel."
Claire, 14 "He is a living guitar god and he is the lead singer of my favorite band. I just can't get enough of him!"
Athena Addams, 17 "A goal in life"
LaCeY M., 15 "Billy is not only the hottest guy alive...but he is also a genious. He can write and sing music like no other. He deserves to be worshipped because he is such a wonderful poet and he is a guy with true feelings to express.I have pictures of Billy(and the other Pumpkins)surrounding me in my room,so i wake up with Billy and I go to sleep w/ Billy. I love William Patrick Corgan and I would worship him all my life.(well i guess that is enough)Hey,i'm goin' to the SP concert on AUG. 4 that,i know,will be the best day of my life."
Monica Nevarez, 16 "He's the greatest! He's the greatest guitar player,singer,songwriter,and person! I love him. Words cannot describe what I feel for Billy. VIVA LA BILLY!! =). SP FOREVER!!"
Jennifer, 17 "As I had said previously, Billy has helped me grow and construct the emotional portion of my life. He has been an emotional best friend, as I see, not only to me, but to hundreds and thousands of others. I commemorate his artistic capabilities and to me, Billy Corgan has been my idol. I strive to be like him, live like him, and even talk like him at times. He has helped shape me, I appreciate it, I like who I am.
" I am me mixed with what I admire about you."
I love Billy and credit him for this."
Robert Angell, 16 "Billy Corgan is my Hero. Not strictly as a God, but as a human. I wish to continue my guitar work and make my own evolution of music. He is the manI'm inspired to one day be..."
Laurie, 16 "Billy Corgan means everything to me... I cannot go a single day without listening to his voice - I have 18 Pumpkins CD's! Billy is truly my one and only... I idolize him and see him as my role model in life... his lyrics reach out and grab at my heart... a feeling no other gives me... I love him"
Rachel "He means life, liberty, and the anal pursuit of perfection. Also, I swear I look almost exactly like he did during gish-- same semi-curly brown hair, tiny chicken pox scar over left eyebrow (see Noise from the undergroung sp pics), roundish face...Billy is a state of mind/train of thought to which I & other true fans belong."
Lyndsay, 18 "He is more than a miracle. He is a god. He means the world and more."
Lilyana - or *Lily*, 14 "Billy Corgan means the world to me. The man practically saved my life. If it weren't for his songs and lyrics, I probably would have killed myself by now. Just knowing that he's been thru everything that I have and survived it, helps me to leave my bed every morning. I love him dearly, as if he were one of my close friends, even though I have only met him once. He is beautiful and wonderful, and I wish he could live forever and always make wonderful music for generations to enjoy."
Missouri Beaukator, 17 "Billy Corgan is like the best friend I have never had, like some angel from somewhere in this nothingness called existence."
Anne, 16 "A simple man whose eyes reflect images of each and every one of us. The proof is in the pudding."
Stacie, 15 "Billy is my one and only, he occupies my thoughts, dreams, and actions 24/7. He takes over my subconscious at night and I've never even MET him. So...the fact that he inspires me, my poetry, my life in general...I am devoutly in love with this man. And he gives his all to be exactly what I wanna see and hear, whether he knows it or not. He has saved me from myself, and everyone else, a million times over. So to him I pledge everything. :) "
Jessica Johnson, 15 "I think he is a brilliant person. His lyrics have gotten me through some rough times."
Stephanie Navarro, 17 "Billy Corgan means everything to me. He is my world and my life. Without out him there would be nothing in this world for me. He is my god."
Nick, 15 "Without Billy's lyrics I don't know where I would be..I could be 6 ft under but his music has gotten me through a lot of my problems in life.."
Shawna, 16 "Everything!! It's like I know him,but I have never met him! When I found out they were coming in concert here, I cried (tears of happiness) Nothing makes me happy except for billy I could be SOOOOOO pissed off and mad but when I hear his soothing voice, it takes the pain off my mind. It's like I'm in a different world when I listen to the pumpkins!"
Nina Gray, 14 "Billy Corgan is unlike other musicians. He means what he says...and what he doesn't say. He is the best guitar player there ever was and best vocalist,too. You can actually feel him when he sings...which I think is very special. Every time I listen to him,it is like feeling from nowhere else."
Erin Westlund Corgan, 16 "He means anything..without him I am NOTHING!!!"

Cornel Novac, 17 "Billy Corgan is the best musician ever, his talent as a songwriter is incomparable with any one else.

I would give anything in this world to meet him, and I will do all that's possible in order to achieve that."
Wanda, 14 "Billy means to me that I could listen to him 24 hours straight and never get bored cause his music is so creative. And I will be a fan even when I don't listen to them any more when I grow up but I will always remember the years that a band meant something to me and my life."
Ute, 15 "I used to get really depressed and he was always there in the music...he's a kind of savior."
Jeska, 15 "Billy Corgan is an inspiration to me that outweighs all other faiths. He shows me that the world sux, but that's what makes it so bloody good to be alive! Not only is he cute and a talented musician, but he is also an intellectual rolemodel, he shows me that not all famous mucicians are buttheads, (for example Curt Cobain, how smart do you have to be to get a bullet to go through you head when the barrel of the gun is lodged in your mouth? Or even the Spice girls, have you ever heard one say anything showing that they have a scrap of inteligence to share berween the 5- er, 4 of them? All you'd expect would be, "Keep your knickers on girls" ) Billy provides me with everything I need to sleep peacefully at night."
Ahearne Karabriema, 15 "Billy Corgan is the only good thing ever in my life. No matter how I feel, all I have to do is listen to his mellifluous voice, and it drags me from the deepest sorrows.

Pudding, 15 "Billy Corgan has such significance in my life. His words and his music shine through in everything I see and everything I do . The magic which comes through his songs, keeps me going, it shows me light at the end of the tunnel, it means the world to me. Billy Corgan is the most intelligent, considerate, sensetive and beautiful man that I have ever known about, and his attitudes and opinions which I have learned of through interviews and articles have helped me endlessly, in becoming a better person and in appreciating others and the world in general for what they really are, and for what they should mean to myself and others. Billy is something to be believed in, because he will live on forvever, as a true source of inspiration and beauty. Oh .. hehe ... and , he is THE sexiest man alive.

Constanza Castaņos, 14 "As I wrote above, I can't explain it with words.

I think he's gorgeous, intelligent and he really makes me cry when I listen to his heavenly songs. His eyes, they just talk by themselves, without words. I could go on and on, but my feelings for him cant be easily expressed(3rd time, sorry)"

And to all the people who can't see what I see in him, are really missing out on alot."
Krysta, 15 "Billy makes things grow. He's like this magical cultivator that has this insane ability to touch and deeply affect things. He did it to me in an instant: after hearing Tonight Tonight a few years ago I finally understood what was the problem in my life and was able to aid it. Billy has brought a new dimension to the music industry. He's given hope to young, troubled people with this charity tour. And he continues to make things grow and blossom. With Billy, you wonder how a mortal person can know and understand so much, be able to articulate aspects of your life you somehow knew existed but were never able to fully appreciate and understand. Billy's so incredibly smart, yet gentle, tender and humble. He's amazingly successful but remains modest and remembers US, the fans, and never places himself on a higher level than us. In my world, Billy does represent a sort of god (and I have never really been faithful to my family's religion), in that he can guide and understand me from a distance. Someday I hope to give him back some of the golden light and love he's poured into me."
Weston Hogan, 14 "Perfection, beautiful music, and a purpose for living."
Erica Pfannenstiel, 16 "Billy is everything great in life. I admire him for so much, especially for his struggles which I have also faced, such as depression and raising siblings. And when I thought that he couldn't possibly become a greater person, he donates his profits to charity! He shows that there really are some great people in this world."
Louella, 19 "Billy's my mother, my father, my sister and brother. Billy's the only one except myself I ever lissen to and that've served me well. I'm forever greatful and all I really want is for him to know how important his work is for lots of people. (It's five in the morning here and since english is my second language it's hard for me to express my true feelings but I think you know what I mean anyway)"
Erika Lippy, 15 "Billy, his music, has help me alot from suicide to life. Whenever I'm down there is usually a song that he has written that explains or feels the same way I do. I think he writes from experiences that he has had and other people have had and he wants to tell people that he is there, music wise, for you and he understands what others are experiencing ands he helps people by writing music."
Kerys, 13 "Well, Billy Corgan just is Everything. He's inspiration ((to me at least, I listen to my SP cd's when I have an artist's block)).....sorry, but I'd really like to join, so I can't really think of many other reasons at this very moment... :-\ "
Brianne, 19 "He means great music to me."
Raine Nosal, 16 "He is the father and leader of the greatest band ever."
Rachel Jackson, 15 "To me, Billy Corgan means the world, I think of nothing else, I went through a period of deep depression last year and the only thing that kept me from commiting suicide was Billy's music. It touches me deep within my heart and makes me full. It's like his music does something for me, works wonders and there is nothing else I need in the world to survive but that. I surround myself constantly with pictures of Billy and his music because without him I couldn't survive on this earth any longer."
Vampiress Lili, 16 "Billy Corgan is my godly image......I have a temple in my room just for him......He makes me hypnotized when I listen to his voice and music......"
Trina, 17 "I guess it is hard to put into words what Billy has done for my life and others around me. There have been the hard times where you come home and just listen to him and somehow it makes it seem somewhat better.... even if it is a little bit...I know what im saying isn't much but I don't think any amount of words could describe the kind of man he is, the one we all knew he was and is but maybe he himself didn't.."
Elaine Rongers, "Billy means the whole wide world to me. His music has seen me through so much and a whole lot more. I absolutely ADORE his voice. The man is a genius. His guitar work is excellent, and his voice is phenomenal. I have quoted several of his songs in papers I've made for school. I eat sleep and drink Billy Corgan. Nobody who knows me doesn't know that I am engrossed with Billy Corgan."
Ivan, 16 "I don't think I could ever express my graditude to Mr. Corgan for how he has changed my life. He has given me direction where no one else could in difficult points in my life through his music and has inspired me to become an aspiring musician. Although I know I could never reach the statas that he has I would just like to pay homage to his legacy."
Marie, 19 "Billy is everything."
Amanda J, 17 "I don't want to sound like another raging teenage fan, but Billy is the first person who sang how I feel... He got me to understand the rage inside me, and helped me to express it through musical talent..."
Rich Lee, 22 "Billy Corgan has inspired me in many aspects of my life. Ultimatly he is the one who started my intrest in Alternative music. I feel that the Smashing Pumpkins are the best band today. They have consistantly created exceptional music and continue to rock and always will (In my opinion). There aren't many Alternative bands that I can say the same for. Not even Pearl Jam! In general The Smashing Pumpkins are an exceptional band and will forever be my favorite. I can truly relate to Billy Corgan's lyrics and his skill at playing the guitar has greatly inspired to keep playing (even though I suck right now!). And if anyone doubt his ability to play the guitar I would highly suggest them listening to "Pistachio melody." (Thank you for giving me the opportunity to voice my opinion!)"
Brainiac, 22
Becky Bowling, "I love Billy. He is a God in my world. The world that is more than impossible to be in. I have been dedicated to Billy over five years and will be forever. I wish I could express this to him myself, one day I plan to. Billy has been the only reason I am alive. Without his music and own problems with life I would have left "this world that is so hard to understand" when my dad did. It's been a year since my dad died and Billy is the only person that has helped me. Adore was Billy's way to deal with his mom's death and Billy is mine. I love him and I know he would love me.To Billy:my love forever."
