Vedder didnt curse the Cubs - the Cubs did themselves in by playing like shit against MY Dodgers. The cubs choke every year. Did Vedder release this song last year? How about in 03 when Alex Gonzalez whiffed an easy double play that would have sent Chicago to the Series? Nope
Corgan needs to zip it and do another Simpsons episode - although i doubt he was that serious
Was at the Wednesday show.....and it sucked donkey balls...
Billy Corgan looks like a big penis. His clothes looked stupid, the backup band was second rate.....I would say the only positive thing about the concert was his smokin' bass player.....I was lucky enough to be on 10 rows right in front of her....schwingg!!!!
jealousy is a terrible thing. i LOVED the pumpkins back in the day. but they ceased being relevant like 10 years ago, at least. they played in raleigh recently at some tiny a$$ place. in another 2 years, Billy will be touring with motley crue and poison.
People talk shit on stage. It's just a means of trying to get some rapport with the crowd. This has all the marks of half-joking between song banter not to be taken seriously. It pales in comparison to the classless shit-talking Ed has done onstage. At least Billy took a swipe at a peer that could take it. I'm tired of hearing Ed shit on bands that look up to him.
Eddie is not a sportsman, he's not a player or team member, he's not even the captain so how the hell did he make them lose?? Sounds like they are a perennial bunch of losers anyway so it's not exactly new for them anyway!

Nobody in the annals of sports has suffered as long as Chicago Cubs fans. The team's 100-year championship drought is the longest in North American sports, so it's understandable if their fans get cranky. But Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan has found an unlikely source to blame for the team's disappointing playoff loss this past season. At a concert in his hometown this past weekend, Home Rub Derby reports Corgan laid the franchise's upset loss at the feet of Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder.
You see, Vedder wrote a song called 'All the Way' for the Cubs. Seems innocent enough, but not to Corgan. "If the Cubs did have a chance this last year that just passed," Corgan told a Chicago crowd. "F---ing Eddie Vedder killed that s--- dead. Last I checked, Eddie ain't living here, OK? Eddie ain't living here to write a song about my f---ing team."
Sorry, Corgan. Curse of the Vedder doesn't have quite the same ring as Curse of the Bambino.
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
And you're not leaving here without me, I don't wanna be without
My best... friend. Wake up, to see you could have it all
Who would have thought the absurd stage rantings of a bottom feeding waterhead like Billy Corgan would generate this kind of interest.
The story is all over the interwebs today.
Since when has anyone given a wet shit what Billy Fucking Corgan has to say anyways?
Funny thing is...Eddie Vedder is probably some place far far away from this irrelevant sorry excuse for a news story....surfing...drinking...and most of all enjoying his awesome life.
Billy Corgan on the otherhand is probably waking up in a hotel outside of Shit Town USA where he'll no doubt go through the motions ignoring the cold bitter reality that the expiry date on his career and credebility have long since past him by.
Corgan should concentrate less on dissing his peers and concentrate a little bit harder getting through this lame as circus freakshow of tour.
Jeez, lets take a poll how many people think Billy seriously thinks Eddie jinxed the Cubs and how many think it is joking around? it should be noted the Pumpkins were playing in the same theater where Eddie's song was recorded no doubt Corgan knew that since he didn't mention it the previous 2 nights in Chicago at a different theater. I was there he just looked like he was having fun ribbing Eddie to me.
For those who think there is a serious feud lets get out the boxing gloves and let them go at it despite Corgan's uh, whopping 8 inch height advantage. Oops.

All the Way was recorded at the Auditorium Theatre.
Can't escape from the common rule...
If you hate something, don't you do it too
i used to think that it would be nice if corgan used his annoying voice for something other than singing. turns out i was wrong. i wish he'd just keep his fucking trap shut for good.
Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

If he said "this year we are absolutely going all the way", then I could see how that could have jinxed the team and angered fans.

Eddie would fuck up Corgan. Eddies kinda jacked dude.

Frankly, I can envision Ed doing the same thing, if the roles were reversed.
You folks gotta stop being so sensitive.
for the least they could possibly do
... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.
I mean people say 'cancel a show in their hometown' when in fact its just being moving. It's canceled due to illness
oh i forgot to mention they added ANOTHER show to the already 4 that have been played/planned.
