Hello music lovers.

As the tour winds down I would just like to say what a pleasure and an honor it was to play for so many of you. I try to never forget that my job is a sacred privilege. Music, the thing that binds you to me and all of us to the Universe is my light.

Let me also say that this band, The Smashing Pumpkins, will continue to write, record, release, and perform AS LONG AS WE ARE ABLE!

Some of you may have read bits of an interview that was done in confidence by yours truly in which I say that the Pumpkins probably won't record cd's anymore. What I meant by this is this: Although we may not use the "album" or "full length cd" as a format anymore, WE WILL WRITE AND RECORD MUSIC UNTIL WE ARE DEAD!!!!!!!! WE ARE NOT GOING AWAY!!!!!!!!

I could go on about how I was stolen from, violated, lied to by some ignoble journalist, but what's the point?

I choose light.

Love Jimmy.

I think that this is such a positive message from Jimmy. I really think that it is so great that Jimmy would take the time to clear this up. Many rumours get spread about this band, both good & bad and they are well able to take them with a pinch of salt. But when rumours are spread that are words taken out of context & especially to do with the music, I really like how they feel its so important to set the record straight. I am so glad to hear that they plan to make more amazing music for as long as they can, coz I know I will listen to it for as long as I can! x

hell yeah, jimmy

i would just like to start by saying i saw the pumpkins in Cleveland when i was in highschool in 1991 in a small venue which they are the last band out of 3 to play. they went on around midnight and frick'n rocked the house (maybe 100 people total in the place). the coolest thing they did was to shake everyone's hand as we left around 2am. from that point, i have been a loyal fan. Being in my 30's now, i look forward to sharing their music with my kids and letting them know what music should be and the "way it was". i guess it didnt hurt that i fell in love with D'arcy in her leather-studded bra that night!

I love the fact that the pumpkins have not conformed and stayed true to their music and fans!

Can't wait till they start touring again!

God speed,
Chris
