Smashing Pumpkins in Monterrey

I can easily say that it was one of the greatest nights in my life. Being a new and young fan (and not in the slightest afraid of admitting it), it was the first SP concert I've ever been to, but it definitely won't be the last.
It wasn't even what I expected...it was way more. From our amazing "Monterrey" song, to Billy's sarcastic and acid sense of humor (even though I'm sure the guy in the 'fake cheap t-shirt' was totally ecstatic that Billy directed a joke to him), it was just beyond words. The connection with the crowd was the warmest that I have ever experienced, and the zarapes and sombreros at the end were a nice detail that meant a whole lot.
It might sound corny, but I couldn't hold the tears during songs like 1979 (beautifully performed acoustic), Tonight, Tonight and not to mention the absolutely EPIC guitar solo at Starla. Simply awesome.
I am young, new, and I bought a fake cheap t-shirt. But even though I wasn't old enough to appreciate the Pumpkin's best times, I believe I still have the right to be a fan now that they're back, don't I?
Thank you so much for the amazing night, and I pray for your return soon...not in 7 or 8 years!

WHY I'M A FAN
The keyword here is what the title says: I am a fan. I might not be a "forever" fan, or an old fan, or an "experienced" fan, but I am one, and of that I am sure.
I wasn't old enough to appreciate the beginning could of Smashing Pumpkins (I wasn't even born when Gish was released, actually), and started liking them after their breakup. I was really disappointed that such a great band could've been gone before I even had the rationality to listen to them.
That's why when Zeitgeist was released I was ecstatic. And I hope they never, ever stop making music...I know a few kids who would love to have them with us in this generation as well, and maybe even the one to come...
Answering the question, I am a fan because I am a fan. No mother explanation ever need be made.
