Don't forget, no airplane mode
Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan will perform a concert titled "Sunday with Rumi," according to the website of Madame ZuZu's Tea Shop and Art Studio, which he owns. The free show starts at 1 p.m. on Sunday at the Highland Park teahouse and promises "4 sonic impressions" on the poetry of the Sufi mystic Rumi, according to the website. Earlier this month, Corgan performed an eight-hour musical interpretation of Herman Hesse's "Siddhartha." That performance, which consisted of Corgan's interweaving sounds from a synthesizer with a recorded narration of the novel, piqued interest from both fans and critics. It's not yet clear if Corgan's performance of Rumi will be in the same vein. An employee of Madame ZuZu's said she didn't know how the show would be performed. The teahouse website lists a duration of two hours for the show. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/l...,3240312.story |

I like Siddartha quite a bit but I'm neither here nor there in terms of whether or not he is "butchering" these works I just think the music has taken a huge dip in quality since he became a hippie post-Zeitgeist.

That's exactly why I don't want him to touch that, because his judgment for what sounds good has taken a D-I-V-E (as Billy would say). That Siddhartha "performance" was an abomination.

Funny. This just appeared in the Tribune after Billy announced his next reading.

Yes, but did you know that "Rock stars have drawn inspiration from literature for decades"? The writer was also kind enough to provide a list.

That's the point... That what corgan is doing is not that outrageous. They were acting like he was wearing a meat dress.
Also if airplane mode is yoko, shouldn't you fuck faces be happy since she broke up the stupid band? |

It's a pompous drivel piece with inane comparisons. It doesn't read like the writer even saw the performance and all he did was cherry pick quotes from the reviews. They didn't like it because it wasn't good not because it was outrageous or that they were expecting "normal music" (whatever the fuck that is), and asking critics to stop being critics is never going to happen. Critics are part of the audience, and part of their purpose is determine whether the artist successfully communicated their work. It's not like Corgan was in the throes of creating a high art performance piece; it looked and sounded like something he put very little thought and effort into and they pounced on that. Yes, the reviews could have been less "mean-spirited," but I suspect that's just a result of sitting there for 8 hours listening to that mess. There's a few other absurd claims and accusations in that article but it's not even worth decimating.

He is criticizing those who criticized the event before it happened. He thinks people should be more open minded and not shut down weird shit in chicago or drive artists out of the city. He goes on to say it wasn't even that weird.
Honestly, Billy didn't put on some big ass event at the metro. He fiddled on a synth machine in his little teashop outside of chicago and people went bat shit insane. Although it wasn't very good nor thought out, they blasted him prior and then filled up the 30 person room with reporters amd were hoping to shit on him live on twitter. Just let corgan have his shitty synth fun. |

Corgan can have all the fun he wants. That doesn't mean it's going to stop people from sharing their perspective about his art.
What puzzles me is why fans like you get so upset about other peoples opinion? People like you and Monte will rage against other SP fans who don't happen to enjoy some of Billys current material. I don't understand the angle. |

This guy doesn't even know what he is commenting on. Then complains others are like monte if the opinion is not where he stands. Fuck, Monte is smarter than you fuzzy. I would much rather be like monte. At least monte isn't jealous of Mike Byrne.

You're flapping your gums, blathering on angrily about how plenty of people didn't enjoy Billy's 8 hour wank session set to an E-recording of Sidhartha. It's as if you're taking it personally and cant understand why people may crack a joke about it after sitting there, listening to it for 8 hours.

What are you flapping your gums about now? You're creating a narrative out of thin air again.
