Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan bringing magic of Bozo the Clown to Highland Park

CHICAGO (WLS) -- If you grew up anywhere in the Chicago area, you know Bozo the Clown. His show was filmed in Chicago for decades, going back to 1960.

Generations of children got to watch and take part in the circus-style fun before the final episode in 2001. One of those kids was Chicago's own Billy Corgan, frontman of The Smashing Pumpkins.
