Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan ‘About a Thousand Pages’ Into Writing Autobiography
January 10, 2016

Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan has been working on his autobiography over the past year and the rocker reveals that he’s got plenty down for the upcoming page turner. While speaking with Jennifer Weigel in a series of video clips making up a full interview, the vocalist discussed the progress of his book and revealed that he’s written “about a thousand pages” for his memoir.

The book is tentatively titled God Is Everywhere, From Here to There and Corgan says it’s been a slow process. The vocalist is also changing the names of people in the book, but reveals that the average person will still be able to catch on to who he’s talking about.

“It’s not meant to be a clever legal device,” says Corgan. “It’s actually meant to get you out of what you think you know and take you hopefully into the very interpersonal experience of what I experienced. Which, I would argue, is mythology. Most of what I have experienced in my life isn’t real.”

In January 2015, Corgan told Full Metal Jackie, “I started writing the book about four years ago. A few attempts but finally got traction last year. I’m probably about 75 percent of the way through, it’s kind of my life but from the perspective of a myth and that’s meaning I don’t try to worry about whether or not things happened or didn’t. It’s more based on the idea of memory and how it changes the perspective of one’s life. So it’s written more like a fable. It’s pretty honest in a way, but it does not talk about the things that most people would figure it would. It talks more about the inner relationships of my life as opposed to the public relations in my life.”

"So I hired Chinaman for my first band. Then I hired Chinkie for my second band. God is everywhere, but cheap labor isn't."

The inside cover of his poetry book says he is working on "his first novel."

this was ten years ago.

I love the interviewer's comeback to Corgan's whine when she refers to Run to Me as the first video.
And on what planet did Run to Me get a positive response????

NovaFritz 01-12-2016 09:26 PM

I also love how Billy claims that we live in a world of illusion and lies, but how his interviewers have to delve into Billy's world of illusion, in which everyone keeps track of all his moves, and appeal continuously to his vanity. They have to tip-toe around the truth (of his irrelevance). In the real world, Billy, no one gives a shit.

I hear James Iha is gonna narrate the audio-book version.

And he's going to be using fake names?:rofl:

Why would the casual fan even care to read shit like that? People like reading rock bio's for all of the history and unknown stories, no one wants to be reading about run ins with god knows who.

Ram27 01-13-2016 12:05 AM

I heard a song Frank wrote today. I thought it fucking sucked and his voice sounded like shit.

While Greg was playing a solo gig, I took his girlfriend Jane back to my room and banged her

It would only make sense for this to not make any sense at all. It's something Billy Corgan did after 2002

T&T 01-13-2016 12:31 AM

I'll eat crow if this actually ever gets published. (self published amazon print on order doesn't count).

what a joke.

teh b0lly!!1 01-13-2016 01:03 AM

holy shit guys i found a small excerpt from billiam's new book check it out
 
man that gustavo is one of the worst human beings i've ever met. that asian asshole. he thinks he's some 'opressed talent'. he didn't even let me rewrite his solo record! what a piece of shit. him and that goddamn o'phelia. she does so much crack she can't even tell a bass from a flute lol!

^^Can somebody PLEASE forward this message to Billy Corgan. Someone needs to print this and staple it on his fucking forehead.

For real, I couldn't believe it when I heard he named his son Augustus Jupiter, what the fuck ?!?!?? Seriously, who the fuck does that ? If I had a friend who named his son Augustus Jupiter, I would unfriend him immediately. What a pretentious cocksucker.

"It was then that arrogant pedal-maker Devo Never attempted to punch me in the face, but I quickly used the swan-style martial art I developed myself to dodge the (no-doubt weak) blow and deliver a single quick strike to the solar plexus which has in the past disabled everyone from Urtkay Obaincay to Ondaray Ouseyray. I left triumphant, definitely not shouting transphobic remarks as I laughed, it was funny actually and I wasn't mad at all."
