| janieo (Richmond, Virginia) | Posted: Feb 27, 2007 - 07:17 This guy needs to find his own voice and leave whatever this is to its original owner: Mick. Plus the music is boring. Geez... I've heard all of this a million times before, like 40 years ago...  |

I had looked for it for some time and finally found it from a on line site out of Russia through an intermediatary in the UK. A little scary sending CC info to them but so far no problem and that was about eight months ago (I recieved the CD in about 3 weeks). Sorry I cant remember the web site... |

Did anyone say Jagger could? I missed it. |
| amcallis (501.5 Miles South of Paradise, Defenestrating!) | Posted: Feb 11, 2007 - 17:40 Just not very interesting. He says this song is about his hometown, Chicago.

Maybe if you were more bored, you'd get it. har har! |

| distortedstar | Posted: Jan 13, 2007 - 12:01 i sometimes feel i'm in a billy corgan fan club of one member.
at least i can be president.... I grew up on The Smashing Pumpkins...they opened my eyes to art & music. I saw Zwan live on their tour at the Tabernacle in Atlanta...and it was one of the coolest live shows I have ever seen. You go billy. you go. |

| Gish05 (Pittsburgh, PA) | Posted: Dec 16, 2006 - 10:38 All of the people who say he's ripping off Mick Jagger were born a long time ago, it seems. Honestly, it's just how he sounds. But hey, if he can't sing, I guess Mick Jagger can't either! :D |

Perhaps he wrote this when he was staying in a city slightly to the west of Paris. 
PS. This song is godawful! |

It's actually Glendale Heights, a western suburb of Chicago. |

at least i can be president.... I gave it a 10; with the caveat (stated previously) that I don't care for the assignment of 'Godlike' to the 10; I personally feel that some songs go beyond Outstanding (9) but I have no means to give a 9.9; but that's just me.  |

| messydiner (In the rain by the ocean and under the mountains) | Posted: Sep 29, 2006 - 14:26 This song takes on a bit of a different meaning around here... in Vancouver (Canada) Riverview is the local Mental Hospital. Extra funny because Billy Corgan always struck me as a bit cuckoo  |
| nickkuzyk (Calgary, Alberta, Canada) | Posted: Sep 18, 2006 - 15:09 This song is awful. Plain and simple. Billy Corgan took his worst song, played it live, and tested to see who would fall for it. Not me, Billy, not me. |
| rowdydaisy (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Sep 18, 2006 - 15:08 Finally got to listen to the song all the way through. Wow! This is excellent! Love the guitar. |

Give me a break! Trendy? Get your facts straight. Riverview was an amusement park that was torn down. On the site is a police station, strip mall with a toys r us and a DeVry Institute. hip - NOT. It's just a working class neighborhood. |

They are. They already have around 50 songs written according to Jimmy Chamberlin and they may be touring by the end of the year. Check out the SP article on Wikipedia for more info. Start the touring around the end of first round - Nov 30th or Dec 2nd?? |
