This day in music history.

May 23, 2000, The Smashing Pumpkins announce that the group will officially break up at year's end. Billy Corgan says that he and his band mates are tired of "fighting the good fight against the Britneys of the world." On December 2, 2000, The Smashing Pumpkins played their last concert at The Metro, the same Chicago club where their career had started twelve years earlier.
Farewell And Goodnight by Smashing Pumpkins
goodnight to every little hour that you sleep tight
may it hold you through the winter of a long night
and keep you from the loneliness of yourself
heart strung is your heart frayed and empty
cause it's hard luck when no one understands your love
it's unsung and i say goodnight my love to every hour in every day
goodnight always to all that's in your heart goodnight,
may your dreams be so happy and your
head lite with the wishes of a sandman and a night light
be careful not to let the bedbugs sleep tight nestled in your covers
the sun shines but i don't
a silver rain will wash away
and you can tell, it's just as well goodnight, my love,
to every hour in every day goodnight,
always to all that's pure that's in your heart
