Billy Corgan Does Not Appreciate Eddie Vedder Single-Handedly Causing The Cubs To Lose

By Will Brinson

You most certainly recall our video of Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam, singing his tribute song “Someday We’ll Go All the Way” about the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series (someday, natch). It seemed appropriate considering the Cubs seemed poised to win a title for the first time in 100 years, but then Manny and the Dodgers happened, and well, yeah. No such luck.

Of course, we all understand that short series(es) in baseball don’t always replicate a season’s worth of success, and the Dodgers were simply better at that point in time, so we moved on. Well, not all of us. Billy Corgan, of Smashing Pumpkins fame, and certainly the only living contemporary from 90’s grunge that can equal Vedder’s celeb status, isn’t quite thrilled about Eddie cranking out his tribute. And he said as much at a Pumpkins show the other night.

If … If … IF … the Cubs did have a chance this last year that just passed …  F*ckin’ Eddie Vedder killed that sh*t dead.  Last I checked Eddie ain’t living here,  Okay?

Eddie ain’t living here to write a song about my f*ckin’ team.

Now, maybe Corgan has a good point: Vedder had zero (get it???) business writing that song in the middle of the freaking season. But still, trying to pin another almost inevitable collapse at Wrigley on one song written by a guy that didn’t even really say WE WILL WIN THIS YEAR seems a bit overdone and cursey, no?

Then again, maybe that proves what a perfect Cubs fan Corgan really is. Hey, but on the bright side Billy, at least you got your betrayed desires and a piece of the game! Bootleg vid (also from HRD) of the show — and Billy dogging on White Sox fans — after the jump. Be warned Billy’s language is not suitable for children. That means he swears a lot.
