I can not believe I found this video! My dad has worked at Coleto Creek Power Station for 40 years, I grew up in the area and Smashing Pumpkins is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND! It was the first band I ever saw live in Austin when I was 16. Years later I saw them again with my daughter in Austin when she turned 16. My first EVER art show was in Kennedy, Tx! Love this! I am from this area!
"How was your day?" "Oh you know, just having lunch with Billy Corgan by the hanging tree." You will probably only get to say something like that once in your lifetime.
That really is awesome. I am glad you had a good time. If he was a jerk, it would have sucked. I hate when the people you want to meet are complete jerks.
Ophiuchus Rogers VIII Actually . . . my comment was based on empirical evidence and Mr. Corgan's behaviour and life choices . . . . your insult directed at me was simply a baseless ad hominem attack because I said something you didn't like and it gave you "bad feels". Do a little research and you'll discover that Billy Corgan is not a nice guy. He's an asshole.
*THIS IS SO CRAZY!!!!* I can't believe you went from "I hear Billy Corgan is also driving an RV around Texas" yesterday to actually being in the same place as him/meeting him today! What a serendipitous meeting! I hope you got his email so maybe you guys can meet up and do a video on Disneyland or something when they get down that way. Do you know if he's putting videos up somewhere?
Seriously...I can't like this video enough. This is a perfect example...Never question where you're at and what you're doing. Fate has a way for the strangest circumstances. Keep doing you and having your unexpected adventures
adamthewoo - I find it hilarious when you have your video camera on the ground filming you as you walk towards it. It falls over and you do not edit that part out of your blog. But, I have always been easily entertained. Keep up the good work. You always have something majestic to say.
I've seen this a few times over the years, and it's one of the best Daily Woo's to watch. I am not going to saying anything disparaging about the current content, I still enjoy it. This seems to be the pinnacle of the times.
Just watched the second video that Kenny did on you for the tenth or so time. So great seeing my son, and I in the video waiting to meet you on that hot day. Been rewatching some of your older videos because they just never get old, and you always make me laugh. Of course I saw your last 2 vids, and I hope what I read in the comments is true, but would never ask. You worked so hard for so long entertaining us. Just felt like I needed to say thank you again, and you deserve a great private life.
Very cool encounter! We always thought the same thing about you when we saw you those 2 times. Very cool guy, down to earth, and very approachable! Hopefully we meet again! safe travels
Adam, That was awesome meeting Billy! I hope your keeping a travel log brother, I can see a book from you filled with pictures, notes and history! It would be a best seller
I was watching this & i was thinking to myself, Hej that looks like Billy from Smashing Pumpkins; & surely enough it is. Wow that is amazing Adam. I love the Smashing Pumpkins.
lukas valentik Same here. When Adam was eating lunch with the the three guys I thought too myself hey that one guy on the end looks really familiar. He hasn't really changed that much since the 90s. 😀😇
The Hanging Tree is probably pretty creepy at night. :-/ My hubby's band played at Washington Square in South Beach (back when SoBe was cool) and their band did play with Smashing Pumpkins before they were big. :-) They also played with Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, before MM became famous and the "Spooky Kids" part was dropped. Cool guys!
The quiet times are the best in these videos now, your listening to the church bells, and watching the turning wind mill were absolutely the "shizzy" thank you. I love traveling with you now!
Jose De La Rosa bill corgan ruined tna wrestling when he worked there. he killed their finances and fan base went down. and no his character wasn't part of that. it was just his backstage real life self.
It's funny that you say that he looks average size because I thought he looked a little tall and this video I always thought he was like 5.9. billy is actually 6.3 ... I never would have guessed that he was 6 3
It's wild man, I am an avid follower of yours and had never watched this video until today (4.3.20). It led me down a road of history searches and it was AWESOME! Keep the good stuff coming, Adam! I know you will!
I live in the Mt Shasta area, Northern California, since President Trump took office there has been not one chemtrail.... I was watching the sky's in your video....I did not see any chemtrailing....
+Joanne Moonflower It's safe to take your tinfoil hat off. At 36,000ft the air is around -56c & the combustion chamber of the typical engine can get up to around 1,400c, The typical commercial jet engine sucks around 1.2 tons of air in per second (which gives it it's massive thrust). All you are seeing is *_Vapour_* that has been super heated creating essentially a long cloud. There's no conspiracy, no magic, just science :)
Adam, first time commenting. My husband and I have been watching for a year. This one was extra so special! Congrats on an epic day and memory. Siamese Dream was an important album in my childhood, so I relate. 👍🏻
He's most likely shooting a documentary, so it won't be a TH-cam video thing. He posts to his FB page. facebook.com/smashingpumpkins/videos/10155063472417642/
Ok, I am now extremely jealous, to have lunch with and paid for by Billy Corgan and then hang with him for a while, That blew my mind.. Smashing Pumpkins were one of my favourite bands as a teen, I also was told by many a stranger I looked liked billy corgan in my youthful thinner days. Oh how I have tried to meet him at many a gigs I have attended but to no avail... :@(
I can only imagine, I doubt I would have the chance being in the UK, the only surreal thing that happened to me and a couple of mates was Cory Taylor from slipknot come to a party in our hotel room before the Gig in Cardiff (Wales) many a year ago and during the gig it was very weird to hear him say 'this song is dedicated to the maggots in hotel room 202' that blew my mind..
What a perfect end to a perfect day. This was awsome. But then watching your Videos are always Wootastic. Love ya Adam--Hugs from Darla From Duncan Okla.
there are those who still exists without it , probably in some ways lead more productive lives and in others miss out on certain things. Not sure which route is better to take .
I am in my 30s and have a husband and 3 children. We do not have Internet or television at home. If we want to use the Internet, we do so at work or go out to a coffee shop. It has made are lives a lot more productive and interesting, I think. We go on a lot more adventures, play a lot more board games, talk to each other, and read a lot more books. We find we get addicted to tv and Internet when around it too long.
great day! we lived in Arlington for a minute but we used to go to traders village which is a gigantic outdoor flea market near Dallas I wonder if its still there hmmm memories
Good morning Adam. That is such a cool and random meeting of a music legend! I would have been a total fan boy. Loving the vlogs. Definitely the highlight of my day.
at 10:50, those are mud nests made by swallows. They built them under my grandparent's eves, and even under the eve of my garage. They do that because they can't take off from the ground - they kind of dive-bomb themselves down from the nest and up into the air.
Despite all my rage I am still just a Woo in an RV
adamthewoo Hey Adam!
adamthewoo do you think you are gonna meet Billy again? maybe even Tonight, Tonight?
adamthewoo Hey Adam! 😁
adamthewoo thats not rage. Its spilled coffee.
adamthewoo I miss the smashing pumpkins guy
I love how you slow down and talk to the animals. My Dad used to do that. A kind man.
Love that too Lou!
Billy Corgan to his buddies- " I can't believe I met that Adam the Woo guy today, now I can go home and sleep well".
He had done his duty
Watching this 5 years later. How cool--meeting Billy Corgan.! This should be on the top 10 list of best Adam The Woo videos.
I can not believe I found this video! My dad has worked at Coleto Creek Power Station for 40 years, I grew up in the area and Smashing Pumpkins is my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND! It was the first band I ever saw live in Austin when I was 16. Years later I saw them again with my daughter in Austin when she turned 16. My first EVER art show was in Kennedy, Tx! Love this!

"How was your day?"
"Oh you know, just having lunch with Billy Corgan by the hanging tree."
You will probably only get to say something like that once in your lifetime.
it was very cool for sure. Really surprised how much we had to talk about, he's a cool guy
That really is awesome. I am glad you had a good time. If he was a jerk, it would have sucked. I hate when the people you want to meet are complete jerks.
adamthewoo awesome that you got meet him, keep up the good work and safe travels
I think it's a sign Adam is doing precisely what he is supposed to be doing. :-)
True,there's some old saying like "Never meet your idols,they'll always let you down." I'm glad that wasn't the case here.
I saw the thumbnail and I was like wow, that looks a lot like Billy Corgan...
Billy Corgan is a very interesting guy, almost as interesting as you Adam.
he is for sure. I got along well with him. Very cool guy
he used to have a place here in St Pete but I don't think he does anymore.
did you ever do a show with Smashing Pumpkins, Adam?

Actually . . . my comment was based on empirical evidence and Mr. Corgan's behaviour and life choices . . . . your insult directed at me was simply a baseless ad hominem attack because I said something you didn't like and it gave you "bad feels". Do a little research and you'll discover that Billy Corgan is not a nice guy. He's an asshole.
Bledsoe Texas I meet Billy a few times back in the late 90's. He was an a hole. Maybe he has mellowed a bit.
*THIS IS SO CRAZY!!!!* I can't believe you went from "I hear Billy Corgan is also driving an RV around Texas" yesterday to actually being in the same place as him/meeting him today! What a serendipitous meeting! I hope you got his email so maybe you guys can meet up and do a video on Disneyland or something when they get down that way. Do you know if he's putting videos up somewhere?
yes it was all such a strange coincidence . Kinda bizarre how it all happened
***** Where is his vlog?? I'd like to follow him!
***** Cool! thanks!
Seriously...I can't like this video enough.
This is a perfect example...Never question where you're at and what you're doing.
Fate has a way for the strangest circumstances. Keep doing you and having your unexpected adventures
completely agree, thanks for the comment James
adamthewoo - I find it hilarious when you have your video camera on the ground filming you as you walk towards it. It falls over and you do not edit that part out of your blog. But, I have always been easily entertained. Keep up the good work. You always have something majestic to say.
So awesome! What a thrill to meet and have lunch with someone you enjoy listening to!
LEGENDARY! Billy Corgan seems like a great guy. I saw them in LA 2 years ago for the reunion tour and WOW was it one to cross off the bucket list
'Billy Corgan Bought My Lunch', is my new rock band name.
I've seen this a few times over the years, and it's one of the best Daily Woo's to watch. I am not going to saying anything disparaging about the current content, I still enjoy it. This seems to be the pinnacle of the times.
I love Billy he's super smart and knows what is going on in this crazy world of ours !
Just watched the second video that Kenny did on you for the tenth or so time. So great seeing my son, and I in the video waiting to meet you on that hot day. Been rewatching some of your older videos because they just never get old, and you always make me laugh.

Good on you, Adam. You are living a very charmed life. Safe travels! You rock.
Adam, That was awesome meeting Billy! I hope your keeping a travel log brother, I can see a book from you filled with pictures, notes and history! It would be a best seller
That's Cool Billy Corgan brought your lunch Adam very Cool
Wow how life has progressed for the Woo. From the van to a big RV and hanging out with Billy. Hard to comprehend the chances of that encounter.
Adam you are so lucky!! I grew up listening to the Smashing Pumpkins, and still listen to them today. I'm so excited for you!! what a day for you :D
Billy Corgan! Awesome
that was pretty much awesome.you never know what interesting things are going to happen in your travels .
I tweeted Billy you were in Texas looking to meet him! So happy you did!
I dig your videos brother and your positive outlook on life. It's a rare trait to have these days. Keep up the awesome work!!
How lucky are you!! Billy Corgan is legend!!! Love Smashing 🎃
WOW ADAM!! How amazingly cool to spend time with one of the greats and sharing it with us!! Thanks for all your content my friend 🎃
Those nests might be made by barn swallows. Hitchcock would be proud.
ahh ok , thanks Russell, have a good day
You're welcome.
Russell Cox: that's cute. :) their nests are even kind of ingenious and cute
Amazing. Watching this was a great way to start my day.
What a neat encounter Mr. the Woo! 😄
yeah very neat . Such a good day
That's cool, Billy is an interesting guy the awesomeness continues rolling on, keep up the great work!
What a chill down to earth guy, that's awesome you had a random lunch with Billy Corgan MIND😵💨
That was dope..You never know who you will see on the road.
Incredible!!! Been following Corgan, too! Was curious if y'all would run into each other!
it was buddy . It was
Just a beautiful little town .Interesting meet up! Thank you for sharing
I was watching this & i was thinking to myself, Hej that looks like Billy from Smashing Pumpkins; & surely enough it is. Wow that is amazing Adam. I love the Smashing Pumpkins.
ha yep it was
lukas valentik Same here. When Adam was eating lunch with the the three guys I thought too myself hey that one guy on the end looks really familiar. He hasn't really changed that much since the 90s. 😀😇
@10:50, those are Barn Swallow nests. Like the Swallows of Capistrano, they typically return to the same nesting sites for generations.
The Hanging Tree is probably pretty creepy at night. :-/ My hubby's band played at Washington Square in South Beach (back when SoBe was cool) and their band did play with Smashing Pumpkins before they were big. :-) They also played with Marilyn Manson & The Spooky Kids, before MM became famous and the "Spooky Kids" part was dropped. Cool guys!
wow very cool. I remember the spooky kids
And the lunch boxes! :-) I remember thinking that the fans were all like Wednesday Addams.
Awesome video! So cool you got to meet him and he got to meet you. You sir have outdone yourself!
Thats so awesome you got to have lunch with Billy Corgan. Man thats cool. Im sure he was pretty lucky to get to have lunch with you as well. :D
The quiet times are the best in these videos now, your listening to the church bells, and watching the turning wind mill were absolutely the "shizzy" thank you. I love traveling with you now!
1:50 Totally true! I was born in the 76 so before the internet, I use to backyard brawl and record it on a Sony MiniCam for 💩 & Giggles
Billy Corgan is a HUGE wrestling fan 👍🏼 He's Awesome!
Looked to be of average size to me.
Jose De La Rosa bill corgan ruined tna wrestling when he worked there. he killed their finances and fan base went down. and no his character wasn't part of that. it was just his backstage real life self.
It's funny that you say that he looks average size because I thought he looked a little tall and this video I always thought he was like 5.9. billy is actually 6.3 ... I never would have guessed that he was 6 3
It's wild man, I am an avid follower of yours and had never watched this video until today (4.3.20). It led me down a road of history searches and it was AWESOME! Keep the good stuff coming, Adam! I know you will!
I live in the Mt Shasta area, Northern California, since President Trump took office there has been not one chemtrail.... I was watching the sky's in your video....I did not see any chemtrailing....
Joanne Moonflower wow! I haven't even noticed that.
Joanne Moonflower oh lord your one of those people
Grace 4 All ....do your research....wake up....
Joanne Moonflower I'm awake trust me

Another awesome vid!! Wow the things you get to do and people you randomly come across is just a great experience to catch on your videos!
A day to never forget when Billy Corgan treats you to lunch!
Ill never forget it for sure
Good framing on the windmill. Very peaceful. Thanks Woo.
thanks, its beautiful out here
Have an amazing day my fellow woovians! 🌞🌞🌞
Adam, first time commenting. My husband and I have been watching for a year. This one was extra so special! Congrats on an epic day and memory. Siamese Dream was an important album in my childhood, so I relate. 👍🏻
I've always thought very highly of Billy Corgan. That must have been an incredible experience.
it was, he's a good guy
I'm thrilled that you got to meet up with Billy Corgan! Continue enjoying our amazing state and much love from Amarillo!
Those nests are from some kind of sparrow.
tbirdracefan ... swallows
they also could be mud dauber nests.
They are swallow nests. Very cool little birds. They will eat their weight in mosquitoes every day.
tbirdracefan Might be House martin nests
African Swallow, or European Swallow?
Seems you had really fun adam!
where can we see Billy's videos?
He's most likely shooting a documentary, so it won't be a TH-cam video thing. He posts to his FB page. facebook.com/smashingpumpkins/videos/10155063472417642/
RandomU5erName twitter @billy
They are on the Smashing Pumpkins youtube channel.
Wow! This vlog was awesome. How cool bumping into those guys! What an interesting topic about that tree. You are so in the zone Adam!
Ok, I am now extremely jealous, to have lunch with and paid for by Billy Corgan and then hang with him for a while, That blew my mind..

it was very surreal for sure but he's a very nice guy , hope you have the chance to meet him someday

he's a big RUSH fan too...who could be better to meet
This is so cool and a big Rush fan too!...awesome stuff adam!
Martin Kilner rush good old Canadian boys where I live. Rush are an amazing 3 piece prog rock band
What a perfect end to a perfect day. This was awsome. But then watching your Videos are always Wootastic. Love ya Adam--Hugs from Darla From Duncan Okla.

Remember the basement of the Alamo
Adam! How Cool!! My wife and I were just talking about Billy yesterday...and then he shows up in your video!!! Awesome!!!!
Two of my next door neighbours have no internet or satellite...what do you think of that?
there are those who still exists without it , probably in some ways lead more productive lives and in others miss out on certain things. Not sure which route is better to take .
Yes, i suppose what you've never had you don't miss. Thank you.
Yes probably.
I am in my 30s and have a husband and 3 children. We do not have Internet or television at home. If we want to use the Internet, we do so at work or go out to a coffee shop. It has made are lives a lot more productive and interesting, I think. We go on a lot more adventures, play a lot more board games, talk to each other, and read a lot more books. We find we get addicted to tv and Internet when around it too long.
Ali Smith ... your children hate you
So cool! You've been traveling through the areas of Texas where I grew up. Save travels my friend.
11:10 - very "Texas Chainsaw Massacre-ish"
simply amazing! its a sign...you should pick up your bass again! :)
Adam i'll bet you always got an
'A' in school for 'getting along with others'
Thanks, I try to get along with everyone
"today" whistle at the end...aweesome...one of my favorite songs everrrr
mine too
Hey in Lampasas TX there is a lot of natural Springs bath houses from way back when that you could check out
This was awesome!!! You are living the life Adam.
Thanks for sharing Adam...!
great day! we lived in Arlington for a minute but we used to go to traders village which is a gigantic outdoor flea market near Dallas I wonder if its still there hmmm memories
Good morning Adam. That is such a cool and random meeting of a music legend! I would have been a total fan boy.
Loving the vlogs. Definitely the highlight of my day.
Very cool video today, Adam. Thank you. Stay safe and I'll see you tomorrow.
I had a feeling this would happen! I mentioned in your previous video that Corgan was traversing through Texas as well. How awesome!
I love the old adventures in the van and in Large Marge. As iconic as the places you visit in middle America.
Just rolling through a little town in Texas and you run into one of the biggest icons of 90s music. You got it made Wooman! Love your stuff!
Holy cow, that's awesome. 1979 one of the greatest songs of all time in my book.
its a good one for sure. Right there with you
Wow, this showed up in my feed today and it is a good one. Glad I watched.
The people you meet are amazing
that was pretty awesome Adam!. making great memories each day. love it.
Love this, and really enjoying the RV adventures. Thanks Adam 😊
So cool Adam. How random to meet Billy Corgan like that. Very cool videos you are doing these days. Keep up the excellent work!!
Awesome!!! One of my favorite bands of all time!
Hey there, Adam! Enjoyed another cool scenic vlog! Thanks man. Take care
This is so cool that u went through Kenedy Tx. Thats my hometown. I live in Houston now, but got real excited that you were there.
I absolutely love it when you stop and have a conversation with animals! They need love and conversation too!
Wow its Billy! He is the one of my heroes. WOW!! I have been watching you for a long time now and you always seems to keep surprising me. Thx Adam!
OMG soo so great! I recognized him but was trying to place him from another one of your vlogs, like a friend of you. So glad he got to meet you!
Another truly majestic video. Keep on truckin.
"Get out of here, you haunted thing..." LOL! You make me smile, everyday. Love you Adam.
BTW, I think those were Barn Swallow bird nests...
Pretty awesome to stumble upon Billy, sounded like a great day for you Adam. Keep up the good work.
thanks , will do
at 10:50, those are mud nests made by swallows. They built them under my grandparent's eves, and even under the eve of my garage. They do that because they can't take off from the ground - they kind of dive-bomb themselves down from the nest and up into the air.
Unexpected, Random, & Awesome. Glad you had so much in common, he seems like a good guy. I know you will always remember this Majestic day.
That's awesome, heading over to Billy's channel to follow his journey.
Very nice! Corgan's guitar player used to play in one of my favorite bands, A Perfect Circle. You just never know what the day will bring you.
