Default ahh ha ha. ben folds on bolly.

"I can't get upset about Soundgarden or the Smashing Pumpkins or someone who's like, every single song has to be compulsorily pissed off. Stevie Wonder is black and blind, and HE'S not pissed off. HE made it ok. Let Billy Corgan be black and blind for two days and see what kind of music he writes THEN." - Ben Folds

I'm willing to bet my life that it'd still be better than Ben Folds' shit.

uh............... I didn't realize that every Pumpkins/Soundgarden song was a pissed off one. Maybe if Ben Folds would quit listening to the radio, trying to catch his shitty songs and actually listened to the albums instead of the singles, he'd understand a little more and wouldn't sound like such a jackass.

Agreed. It's uninformed and just makes him look like an total ass.

With that said, Ben Folds himself isn't the cheeriest songwriter in the world. He has recently become more so, but while he might have a more humorous take on songwriting than Billy Corgan, he doesn't exactly offer a more positive outlook on life, except for the obvious stuff like the fact that he has a wife and a kid and writes songs about them now. But Ben Folds Five turned out stuff just as depressing (EET WUZ DEEPRESSING BECUZ IT WUZ SO BADD!!!!11!!!LOL!!!!1!!) as any Pumpkins' songs -- there was just a more humorous edge to balance it out. BOlly himself would probably jump at the chance to take a similar shot at Ben Folds because they're both songwriters who have recently gone downhill but are in denial of the fact, and so hang onto insulting others who are in the same predicament and slowly becoming caricatures of themselves.

Moral of the story: Don't have a shtick!!!!

while im sure he's not really into that kind of music, you can assume with ben folds that he was just being funny.

Oh, I'm sure there's a good chance that it was taken way out of context.
