YES folks those are lyrics from Rocket from the Pumpkins...which was performed for the first time in years the other day! The Pumpkins are back together. For the unintiated it's Billy and Jimmy only from the original Pumpkins line-up but if you've never heard them play guitar and drums together it's a special sound. I wish it would be all four original members but I don't think they need anyone else to record. They found two new members to tour with (not sure if they were on the record and if they're technically new members of the band or not - time will tell that - but they're touring with the band now and that says a lot for Billy to let them on stage with him...) , Ginger Reyes and Jeff Schroeder are their names and they were both super accomplished before joining and I give Billy his props for finding such fantastic new people to take out on tour. The clips from their shows that are here and there on line sound awesome, everyone that's been to the concerts is happy happy, the messageboard I frequent is bubbling with Pumpkins enthusiasm. There's a single out and on the radio and everything...called Tarantula...it rocks.
Here is a video for Rocket...it's just Billy and 'coustic but it made me happy to hear so I am sharing it. At the very end where he plays the riff? if you are an old-school Pumpkins fan tell me that doesn't warm your heart.
