Hehe. When I was in high school, an adult told me that he had liked Smashing Pumpkins when he was in school, but had since "grown out" of them. I wondered what he meant by that for a long while. Then one day in college I was listening to SP and realized that I had outgrown the lyrics.

It was around the time when Corgan put out his quickly forgotten "poetry book," which sounded like any of his songs, but with no music to mask how dysfunctional his words were.

Around that same time, I was listening to a lot of Bright Eyes, who was awesome and weaving analogies and imagery together. Next to him, Corgan was just a toddler with a speech impediment.
