Marty,
From articles I've read and comments you have made, I'm pretty sure that you like the Smashing Pumpkins.

Have you ever see them play at the Metro?

Have you ever met Billy Corgan? If so, what was that like?

I have never seen SP at the Metro.  I did see Billy at a smaller place (100 people) called the Hideout and he played 5 songs.  He made a funny comment about a new song he wrote being the 578th sad song in his catalogue.

I shook his hand and he looked me in the eye and said hello.  That was respectful and I appreciate the passing moment.  

He is a musical virtuoso and he changed modern music in the 1990's.
