it truly is bizarre that he used to have so much talent at writing clever and thoughtful lyrics. He always did bullshit lyrics as well, but I guess that felt purposeful when he was also capable of to sheila

I have seriously wondered whether Billy has been purposely writing awkward, weird, and just plain bad music. I’ve put a ton of thought into it. There’s no other rational explanation. It truly baffles me. Maybe he’s fucking with us. Or maybe it’s part of him being a “sociological astronaut” or “playing my public image off of myself.” The only problem with this theory is that Billy is too much of a loose cannon and too obsessed with success to pull something like that off.

I think the guy is just truly lost. He's a talented mentally ill idiot who stumbled into something really amazing and destroyed it

"She stabs the empty clock", I'll say it's an allusion to drug abuse, because why not? A lot of people wish Corgan would go back to his angry former self, but I guess this goes to show that he's not that person, and that it would come off as hollow if he were to attempt it in earnest. |

He talked about how he would just have to look at D'arcy and her body language to know whether something was working or not. And it's pretty clear from her blasting him publicly after he dicked her over with the reunion that she always had no problem speaking her mind to him. He's too arrogant to take anyone's suggestion on anything anymore except from someone like Rick Rubin (obviously he's not that great of a producer considering how weak SosB is). Corgan thinks he's infallible and never makes bad musical decisions.

imagine how billy's life would have gone if he'd never got a record deal? probably not very well. he's talented, yes. but also very, very lucky. lots of talented people don't get rich and famous from their talents.

He probably would have turned into one of those angry white men who murders 12 random people out of resentment and entitlement

because it wasn't *just* Billy that endeared the band to the public. D'Arcy was a solid portion of that

His biggest late-period problem is that he gets so overly verbose - again to the point of goofiness - you have to sit down and interpret shit. Like, the one johncg posted above is pretty much him saying "I may seem stable, but I'm actually on Ketamine because I'm screwed up and in pain. Nevertheless that doesn't stop me from enjoying the good parts of life and you shouldn't either." |

I'm not sure what Bill Corgan Sr. did for a living, but to get a sense of where Billy would have wound up, probably some similar line of work. He strikes me as the kind of guy who would run a few coffee shops around town. The people I've know who come closest to living like rock stars without being actually being rock stars tend to be retail entrepreneurs, they work a lot with the public, its creative, uniquely challenging, you call your own shots, it's risky, like the music business, but with much better odds. Billy did open a tea shop, after all. |

Billy's dad is/was a musician. Did you really not know that? Oh and I guess a drug dealer.

D'arcy's lack of actual musical contribution throughout her time with SP and in the intervening years leaves me doubting the veracity of the notion that she had golden ears. I think Billy actually feels a little bad about being a dictator, he wanted a band, but he also wanted his way, because he's a conflicted individual. I think he spoke up both D'arcy and James in an attempt to repair some of the damage he recognized having done them (before turning around and then doing more damage). |
