Billy Corgan

And again, correct me, but you had not sung the original, right?

Are there tapes of you singing Riding the Storm Out from the third album session?

Have they ever come out?

That's an interesting, I gotta dig around on that.

I don't know.

I don't think they ever- Anyway, so, because I was looking and I was like, because my memory is, of course, you singing Ride in the Storm out.

So when I went to look in the albums, I was like, well, he's out of the band here.

So I was so surprised by that.

So I thought you were maybe singing somebody else's song.

So if you don't mind indulging me for a second, I have a beautiful memory.

My step-grandparents lived in Schaumburg, and I was out riding my bike one day, and I had a boom box in the basket of the bike.

And it was one of those Chicago days where a storm was coming in.

You know, you could see about 10 miles out, here comes the storm.

The winds are picking up, and I'm listening to the radio, and the guy goes...

you better get home or something like that.

And he plays Riding the Storm Out.

And you do the introduction, you know, riding the storm out people or whatever you say at the beginning.

And I had this incredible memory of listening to you sing as I'm trying to race the actual storm that's catching up to me on my bike.

It's like somebody got a wizard off.

The winds are coming up, it starts to drizzle a little bit, and you're singing, and I timed it where I got home exactly at the end of the song.
