Destination Unknown

Happiest of Birthdays to you WPC! I was taken on a surprise road trip Thanksgiving weekend by a loved one. And we drove right to Madame Zuzus door. I cherish this adventure, and being able to attend A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness during a Chicago snowstorm. xo

The past couple of years have not been the kindest. One of the only constants in recent memory is the Pumpkins. I got this tattoo a little over a year ago. I remember trying to figure out what lyric I wanted for months, but “Today” has always stuck with me. No matter how “great” most days can be, I always live another day.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Happy birthday <3
Shiny and oh so bright!

Happy Birthday to the one and only WPC.
I’ve loved you since 1998, and seen you live since Zero Fest a decade later. From Mexico City to Chicago & Vegas, I’ve followed your sound like a ritual. Meeting you in Vegas was a perfect night 🩷 MCIS at the Lyric Opera felt reborn. Your voice speaks to my soul.

Happy birthday to one of my all-time heroes! Thank you Billy for all the music. You’re one of the reasons I picked up a guitar and started making my own songs. Seeing you play my favorite songs live was a dream come true. Here’s to many years more to come, thanks again for making such a huge impact in so many people’s lives and music history!!
My best record
David Valle Ciudad de Mexico, MX
When i saw the poster of the vive latino, i cried, because I was waiting for the moment to see my favorite band, you are one of my salvations every day and that why i love and love your music, we all love, please come back to Mexico soon
Finally getting to see you live with my dad back in 2023

All of my earliest memories from my childhood you and your band was part of it, all the good ones and the bad ones. And my favorite memories with my dad are all the time we spent listening to your voice sing, I’ve never been able to connect with another artist like I have with you.
2 days of awesome
Bruce Moore Colorado Springs, US
Had the worst year in 2008. The redeeming part of it was 2 nights in Kansas City to see the 20th Anniversary shows. Was fortunate to have the OG Machina vinyl signed, and then on top of that, SP.com used my photos on the home page as well as the official flickr account, showcasing my photos from those 2 nights!

I discovered your music when i was a 13 year old. Most of my happy memories back then were me, locked by myself in my room listening to your music, daydreaming. I’m a 41 year old mom and I finally saw you live. Thanks for all the joy your music has brought to my life, your music has been an escape, and a hug when I needed it they most. Happy birthday!! God bless you, your beautiful family, and your band. ❤️
Duality
Travis Boonville, US
They say never meet your heroes but I am glad we met back in 1996. Shaped my entire musical life, influenced my band, instilled in me to always give the 110% in everything i do, and to always create. I have enjoyed our interactions over the years and hope there will be many more, have a great birthday!
