Smashing Pumpkins Sell "Fuck You Anderson Cooper" T-Shirts Featuring Cats in Bowties

Last month, Anderson Cooper dedicated a segment of his show "Anderson Cooper 360" to mocking the Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan for posing with cats on the cover of PAWS Chicago Magazine (the magazine for the no-kill animal shelter PAWS Chicago). Corgan initially came back with a pair of angry tweets, but since this is a musician beef in 2014, it's not official until someone responds by making a T-shirt about it.

At their hometown show at Chicago's Thalia Hall last night, the Smashing Pumpkins sold shirts featuring two cats wearing bowties and the words "Fuck you Anderson Cooper". (Actually, since the band's logo is included, it says, "Fuck you the Smashing Pumpkins Anderson Cooper", but that's probably not what they meant.)

The new Smashing Pumpkins album Monuments to an Elegy is out December 9.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
