How some marketing whores didn't turn this video in an ad for fucking Tide with Stain Release Johnny has no idea. A true opportunity missed.

'Bullet with Butterfly Wings' with that uplifting message to teens everywhere.

Hey Beavis, these people are like dirty and stuff...

Hey you stupid assholes, did you know Jersey City is the fifth most stressed out city in America?!?!

STRESS! It makes interns write rude headlines doesn't it? Jersey City was just ranked fifth in the nation in being stressed out. Jersey City's biggest suburb, New York City, was ranked second. What kind of stupid annoying factors does it take to stress a city out? Oh dear god just read will you?

Jersey City had the third-highest commute time on the list (37 minutes on average) and was also third in population density, with 16,793 people per square mile, the report said. The city's total population was 247,597 according to the 2010 Census.

Jersey City tied was with New York for average hours worked per week at 39.4, but ranked higher for crime with 3,062 total incidents reported per 100,000 residents, the report said.

So everyone taking up all the roadways all the time and you fools who commit crimes are making the rest of us CRAZY! If you get robbed while commuting what, just shit yourself? Well?

That census number isn't even freaking right, Jersey City's population is exploding, like our RAGE!

Here, this should help, here's Enya with 'Sail Away' and remember, Enya likes it when you turn up her songs.

Johnny read once where Billy Corgan said this was the only real love song her ever wrote. It kicks off the music series this week. Smashing Pumpkins with 'Stand Inside Your Love'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SMASHING PUMPKINS!

Johnny met Billy Corgan after a show in Ann Arbor one night long ago. The first thing that hits you is how goddamned tall he is. Six and a half feet maybe. This a behind the scenes shooting of the video to the song 'Ava Adore' and you can kind of get an idea how tall as he hovers over James Iha and D'Arcy.

Saturday morning MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SMASHING PUMPKINS!

Rocking and rolling your way off to a fabulous tri-state Saturday afternoon. Johnny's contract is FINALLY up on his piece of crap AT&T contract phone so he's heading into the big city and he's coming home with something different and no, AT&T you do NOT have a lock on Johnny's business. Oh you MAY get it but Johnny's a freeeeee agent and willing to listen to others since you've been such an average carrier. And word, if he gets an iPhone that thing will be jailbroken by tonight.

So, to get YOU fired up and to get Johnny fired up to go do some shopping, the Smashing Pumpkins with 'Zero'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SMASHING PUMPKINS!

We continue tonight on our 90's bender with what Johnny would call the best band of the 90's, Smashing Pumpkins. We know, we know Nirvana this and Nirvana that, but to be considered the best of a decade Johnny thinks you should be around for more than a couple years of said decade. Put out a few albums, have a few hits, make a few pretty cool videos. Johnny met Billy Corgan one night after a show in Ann Arbor where he foretold of the breakup of the band. Johnny mentioned how hard they had rocked that particular night and when faced with an onslaught of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and boy bands galore, he told Billy "Rock seems safe with you guys around", to which Mr. Corgan replied "Yeah, at least for another eight months." A week later he announced after that current tour, the Pumpkins were history. It wasn't surprising, D'Arcy had just been replaced after her interest in crack outweighed her interest in the band, and Corgan had just allowed drummer Jimmy Chamberlain back into the band after his infamous drug case in which touring keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin (who was the brother of Prince cohort Wendy Melvoin) overdosed on heroin with Chamberlain present.

Here's Johnny's close personal friend, Billy Corgan and Smashing Pumpkins with 'Bullet With Butterfly Wings'.
