About Jason Musgrove
Expertise
I`ve been a fan of The Smashing Pumpkins since 1993, and I have all the albums and U.S. CD singles. I can answer just about any question concerning the band`s beginning, how they picked their name, bios of the members, lyrics, discography, soundtracks, some personal info, and other news. I cannot answer questions about their tours.

Smashing Pumpkins - what does gish mean...


Expert: Jason Musgrove - 4/16/2004

Question
what does gish mean?

Answer
The album Gish was named after the American actress, Lillian Gish.  The reason, Billy states, was simply that "my grandmother used to tell me that one of the biggest things that ever happened was when Lillian Gish rode through town on a train, my grandmother lived in the middle of nowhere, so that was a big deal."
