I've been writing for about 20 years. "smile" a poem I wrote to a pen pale. has been published. I was recognized by the National Library of congress as one of the best poets of 2003 for the work. It was written about 16 years ago. During the adore tour I took "smile" along with other favorite poems I've written and a beautiful young "Lanie sunshine" to a pumpkins show. It was at St Andrews in Detroit. Lanie and I made our way front center stage. at the end of the show, I tossed my manuscript onto the stage. Billy Corgans eyes followed them to the stage. I don't know what I thought he'd do with them. but almost 8 years later. My young lady friend "Alexandra" asked me to burn her a pumpkins cd. While i was using cool edit pro to extract different songs I thought "what if I put audio of my poems on top of pumpkins music beds". Brilliant. Some of this stuff I wrote at some obvious low points in life. this isn't my show it's my life as it relates with the pumpkins. "just listen".
