Thirty Days - Day Three (Lillian & Life) w/Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins

An emotional visit for Billy as he visits where his grandmother used to live and her.grave. Plus Billy's family story with Superman, an encounter with a bridge and "does this look like EC3

[@seaaggi]

Thank you for visiting Metropolis, Il. We were neighbors in Chicago in the 80's I had studio in the Flat Iron Building, hung out played at Red Dog/Borderline, Metro and Blue Note. I was partners with J Ried in a coffee house gallery and in the band Malucasamba and friends with Matt/Sabrina at Windy City R.S. I remember when SP would practice how cool it was to hear your music on the streets and in the buildings it was an all consuming sound that you had to listen too. Miss that feeling from my youth. I would just listen and create. I attended SAIC and worked in the media center and remember loaning equipment to JI (he would make recording in the stairwells and halls) for his band "Smashing Pumpkins" which I thought was a curious name for a band and said he needed a cooler name. What did I know right? Congrats on all your success. I now have a brewcafe and studio in Metropolis. I love the slower life here and all the people. Life is good. Thank you again for sharing a part of your history and including our small "super" town in your travel video. Hugs and happy travels!

[@SuperMuseum]

I run the Super Museum and I wasn't there that day... I've lived in Metropolis most of my life. My daughter's middle name is Lillian because of the song Lily. In high school I started talking to who would become my husband because he was wearing a smashing pumpkins shirt one day. Smashing Pumpkins brought us together so I want to take a moment to thank you for all your years of beautiful music, and for making my teenage years so memorable. :) XOXO

[@alxdelrge]

This was the best video yet. I especially appreciate the candor. The mix of americana, music, and personal history is refreshing.

[@dennisreynolds1085]

My familys museum and gift store...my little brother behind thr counter...my favorite band of all time...and im 2 blocks away and my brother didnt even recognize greatness

[@legendsofevil]

I am enjoying these just as much as any other music you put out. Vlogging can definitely be an art form if you are able to tell interesting stories.

[@goodgollymr]

So happy at the moment that at the end of the shitty day (I'm sick..) I can lay in bed and watch all your new 30 days videos on here,Instagram and Snapchat. You make my days better at the moment Billy! ❤️

[@kjpianorock162]

*visits grandmother's grave* Billy: Is it me or did she look like EC3?

[@elainaadeniyi9022]

Such a personal deep experience. Thanks for sharing yourself with the world.

[@Loganmccoy1996]

[@elizaivanova6322]

Thank you Billy! It's so amazing that you let us in. I really value the fact that you are sharing with us. I love it!

[@blondeonthepond2530]

I've lost a mirror on the same place on the Brookport Bridge. Come back to visit again in Metropolis!

[@colleencourtney6206]

Wow! Love today's little glimpse into your world. Lot of things spoken of hit close to home. Safe travels!😻😽😺

[@SuperCandi82]

One of the best interviews I've seen! Thank you for making this. Really shows who William really is. A truely authentic individual who isn't afraid to be themselves.❤️SP❤️

[@opalstardust]

These videos are awesome. I love seeing more of Billy "the person" as opposed to just seeing Billy "the rock star." His music is great; my favorite actually; but he is so much more than just his music. Thank you for showing us this side of yourself, Billy!

[@chapalleconcepcion2189]

Billy, such a genius definitely makes me wanna go out and lean everything

[@christy734]

Thanks for sharing your family’s history. I think it’s always best to hear personal stories first hand. 💐

[@RiverKiva]

Thank you for doing this... wonderful sharing of your personal journey. and thank you so very much, sincerely, for all the great music you make and I love hearing you sing covers too ... your strong voice carries me away, or soothes me, or vents my indignant rage keep it up, stay strong... take us with you grandma sent the owl you're on a true path, a spirit walk love & peace stay safe

[@kevinflo]

I love these videos. A totally different way you're connecting with people. Thankful you're taking us along on your trip.

[@alexanderson7047]

That Billy dude looks a lot like EC3 LOL LOVE YOU Mr. Corgan

[@13Hangfire]

Love Hopkinsville, KY... great place to grow up!

[@mikogale]

This has been the best (and funniest at some points) episode yet!

[@whatilearnedalongtheway4857]

7:02 Fuck yeah, Billy. I share that sentiment too. *Everybody ought to* ❤

[@radioscillator]

Thank you for allowing us to "ride along" on this journey! Peace be with you.

[@Heavyarms1066]

Thoroughly enjoying this series. Thanks for sharing this journey Billy!

[@Aff3ct000]

An XRAD weather [making] station. Fucking us up. Some choice pics captured, Billy. Again, thank you from the depths of this blessed and tortured soul.

[@j.442]

My favourite so far!

[@pvtvitoguido]

Well, for being cursed, you truly were and are blessed. They say the world exists on polarities. You can't have the good without the bad.

[@ECCarolan]

This is great. Great job. Glad I somehow caught it real time. The owl. The owl! Great stuff. Thanks for sharing your soul brother.

[@sammmy4495]

"and the wildflowers are scattered over the flame" Wow, beautiful, sad and so true. Amazing how an artist can share so much emotion with so few words.

[@eleanorrose1133]

Yes Billy, what you are referring to are generational curses, or ancestral trauma. It's part of our life's journey and soul's purpose to break free of that so we don't get stuck in the same cycle and can promote healing and evolve for the better for future generations. Much love to you!

[@US395Official]

I love your music man! Keep it up, I hope you're enjoying yourself!

[@JacobFrey]

This video made me want to listen to "Whir". Such a beautiful song, thank you, Billy!

[@skylilly1]

Tragic about your great grandma. So sorry.

[@Boleskinebeatz]

Hola Billy.. when you mentioned the comment from Bono about families affecting subsequent generations it made me think of a someone I’ve experienced called Family Constellations. Don’t know if it’s just a UK thing or worldwide but it’s profound to say the least and some of the changes and energies I witnessed would make your hair stand on end. There’s definitely something to it..

[@lonogonzo4118]

Your on the right path Billy. The owl was not an accident. Falcons seem to hover over me most. But then again California...JL

[@lemonsweets8282]

Great series. Much love from snowy England

[@DulceDubose113]

Thank you for making music worth listening to

[@MrJmanjj]

Im really loving this project so far, I cant wait to hear of all of the songs and experience all of the places with you, Billy!... Sorry, William. However, you really missed out on a chance to make it "Thirty-Three" days instead XD

[@tagkatelyn]

This is so great! I am honored you stopped in my hometown tonightt. Keep up the good work and hope to see you some dayy!

[@jeromykriege9649]

Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts.

[@kokomanation]

I had a similar relationship with my grandmother and my childhood was hell I can relate a lot with the feelings evoked in this video

[@Ramoa111]

my father was like that too. He'd curse his bad luck daily. l remember y mom telling him to stop saying it, that it would attract sorrow to all of us and it always seemed like it did. That's actually how l made up my mind to become an optimistic person

[@Lokee77Clark]

Thanks for sharing Billy :)

[@colincoyle4325]

I love this project.

[@COLTRONNN]

Awesome stuff Billy. Much love

[@michaelanderson2886]

Billy in Kentucky to visit his grandmothers grave. She’s buried in Sinking Fork Baptist Church Cemetery, Hopkinsville, Kentucky. Not far from where I live.

[@theresapreston5456]

I share the same birthday as your great grandmother - 2-27 Pisces Iscariots.

[@tendraftsdeep]

Excellent!

[@Portekberm]

thanks as always

[@thebestofu-tubebytheresaes5189]

[@francescainpillole]

Love this. thanks 💗

[@drewlittell]

Lol I have been to most of these towns billy is stopping in in my own travels

[@romelovesdan]

Sorry Grandma Lillian did not see the Cubs finally win the World Series. Then again, maybe she had a 'front row seat'. You were blessed by your grandmother's wisdom and advice...Stay Positive Billy!

[@drewlittell]

I have been over that shady-ass bridge between metropolis and Kentucky!

[@theeunuchman5819]

There goes the mirror.

[@theniceman3106]

Nice man. I'm from GA, but this place is strangle similar to where I'm from. I kind of understand your mood man.

[@CosmicMindSense]

Today, is my first favorite song from youy buddy !

[@Aff3ct000]

Frank Beaulieu An infinitely happy song covering the depths all share. Letting one in on the key secret in that the highs ultimately MUST equal the (potential) lows that inevitably come. For without them, neither exist.

[@tlo42058]

I seen this on my snap love me some billy. Im from paducah ky live right across bridge from metropolis ill. Hopkinsville is 45 mins away. If you ever need me to run by and clean her grave I do alot of that in this area. I clean stones :-)

[@xmoor1018]

funny he says that about a corgan curse, my dad has always said my family has a morgan curse.

[@andreatoney]

My family name is Golden Are we related?!!!! You're my favorite artist of ALL TIME 😍😍😍

[@joecurry3235]

Warm up Corgan ? Arizona ? Tucson ? Chill tea? Rock and roll,? David Bowie ? Good juice in Tucson !

[@johnnycondor]

2:25 Ah, the wonders of duct tape!

[@sammmy4495]

I wish Billy would have gone deeper on the Free Mason topic. He seemed right on the verge of telling us what it all means but then ends it abruptly. I do agree with the end, stay positive and live to a hundred. It's so tough to do in a world that seems all too negative at times. My solution is simply to go the sea with some good music and maybe even a beer. Connection to mother earth engaged.

[@jacobwheeler7402]

Freemasonry certainly seems really interesting

COMING SOON: "Superman Costume Conman" directed by Ridley Scott

[@gerhardjasongeick4229]

These remind me of Steinbeck's Travels With Charlie

[@silverroddo1468]

I think William has started a wrestling/EC3 meme, lets run with it too? I thought I recognized Ethan in Batman V Superman, Dawn of Justice was an amazing PPV. What a scarily narrow bridge, heel bridge.

[@eliwahuhi]

I am a grown woman and I STILL get Illinois and Indiana mixed up! Why?

[@bioof4]

“I was pointing at Superman’s penis (:” my favorite Billy Corgan quote.

[@thomaslevanti3959]

It’s always the brookport bridge……….

[@derrikferguson3219]

Lol this is fun. Is it just me or does this look like MC three?

[@notsure1135]

Now I know why you like the Church.

[@bruceyount5056]

Come play basement east! :)

[@79tazman]

I have never seen a bridge with a curve in it and the first one I see takes Billy's RV mirror off what is up with that? Who puts a curve on a bridge

[@derrikferguson3219]

What is that song? “I have finally found a way to live…”

[@pezcore2142]

you should come to my town Billy, if you want a look inside masonic buildings.. they are open to the public here. if someone knows where i could post some pictures of these places, id be glad to do so (i live in kentucky). youd definitely get a grand tour with your fame, just sayin' ;)

[@richmonksgtr]

That cat is a dead ringer for EC3.

[@Nautilus1972]

That's what you get for driving on the wrong side of the road!

[@jeffkaczmir3891]

My grandma's madden name was patrica corgan she lived in Cleveland Ohio could I be a long lost relative of billy corgan

[@aidanmahoney]

Is it me or does he look like EC3

[@sophiamax9226]

Wow, i have a Nanna Lillian....with a weird second Scottish name.

[@mrmkc2]

what is the object that he picks up and throws at the end of the video? for some reason at first glance it looked like a mcchicken to me

[@mrmkc2]

+Fernando Ramoa wow youre just jealous

[@billmoyer6017]

Actually it was, in fact, a McChicken

[@larrynester4713]

Read the King James Bible it is amazing how accurate it is even more so than Nostradamus.

[@larrynester4713]

Hey Billy did you buy the Masonic spinner?

[@gabrielmanaslarrubia7923]

..........eres un manitas.........arreglan el espejo del retrovisor jijiji.........y me alegro por ti..........porque es muy bonito poder visitar las tumbas de tus abuelos.........yo los míos no los conocí........a excepcion de que nos visitaron una o dos veces en la vida..........creo que lo más hermoso en esta vida............es nacer......crecer.............y morir junto a tu familia........lo demás no importa........al revés.........todo son confusiones y engaños en este mundo........para los que no tienen familia..........o para separar y destruir a las personas que si tienen familia.............Buenas noches Superman............

[@joecurry3235]

Gangster

[@bladerunner1b]

If you have a lot of family in Kentucky the "seven generation curse" might be explained. Check the tree for Inbreeding. Not trying to be cute or funny.

[@JackKnight762]

youre not

[@cool...............]

where is his tinfoil hat?

[@ECCarolan]

Hey, fuck you media-tard.

[@JackKnight762]

incapable of an original thought?
