wow. that is spot on.

if billy just accepted the zeitgeist moved on and followed his music muse (rather than believing it to be inextricably tied into whatever the imaginary fans want) he'd be a respected artisté (yup, with é) instead of artist with a plop sound.

having your big moment and carrying on gracefully after is a pretty big part of the music industry. something billy talks (talked?) about often and yet for whatever reason fails to understand with any real nuance.

I found your posts bragging about your master's degree, girlfriend and two bands funnier.

Ah, I missed this somehow! Yes, for the most part, time well spent. Had fun, met very nice people, some of whom became friends. But I'm still wondering about your master's degree. You were very defensive about it for a long time and when someone found out you actually used a google search result as an image of your degree, you never said anything about it anymore. I also remember that the terms you used changed from psychology to psychiatry and some others which was very entertaining to me. That's the main reason I keep showing interest in you, you're a very entertaining poster. I don't really believe you're any of the things you're so desparately claiming to be, but please prove me wrong with some evidence. It's all apparently very important to you to prove to us Netphorians, how successful you are.

Pics of your real master's degree?
Pics of said girlfriend?
Songs from both bands?

i actually kinda enjoy this current music media personification of billy corgan.

like, bashing on how boring his current music output got...well, boring.

i like this new "thats so billy corgan" whenever he does something eccentric. I'm glad he's back in the magazines.

Part 2 >>>

"A Brief History of Billy Corgan Losing His Goddamn Mind Since the Last Brief History of Billy Corgan Losing His Goddamn Mind"
>>>
http://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/blog/a-...s-goddamn-mind


Here's a quote from the article >>>

Quote:
Billy doesn’t seem like the tech-savvy type, as was evidenced by the now-defunct spirituality site he half-assed together in 2009. With all the solo projects and wrestling shows and skullfucking of the Smashing Pumpkins’ corpse he’s been doing over the last five years, it doesn’t look like he’s had much time to brush up on his HTML or Photoshop skills. He launched an official Smashing Pumpkins website, smashingpumpkinsnexus.com, which is an amazing look back at what the internet was like when Smashing Pumpkins were relevant. Go ahead and log your dial-up modems on to America Online and type in the URL if you want to see Billy’s daily disconnect from reality.

It won't happen, but if Billy were to actually make a fantastic album sonewhere between all this stuff it would just be hilarious and awesome. You can get away with any behavior by calling it "part of the artistic process" if you drop a MCIS every once and awhile.

But it's been too long awhile.

Yes, that's exactly what makes this person an asshole with this writeup, being a nobody who criticizes a famous rich person. How dare he.

I did use the word "rich", but not in that context. I believe the operative word here was successful. Someone who's nobody nitpicking at someone who's worked hard for their success to be somebody. That's the tragedy here. That instead of making a name for himself legitly, he's trying to put someone else down to boost himself up, which is sad.

That's what all writers on Vice do in a nutshell.

When billy was a nobody he did the same.

I really hate this shitty line that Corgan has sold to fans.

Success is an arbitrary word, so is "hard work" for that matter. The author of that writeup gave you seven reasons why you might consider him an asshole, none of them have to do with anyone's station in life. Being famous, rich, and/or "successful" does not give someone special privilege that protects them from criticism. In general, doing so can be a dangerous thing.

I love how people feel like Corgans exempt from criticism just because he put out some awesome music 20 years ago.

The guys been on a steady, continuous decline since MCIS
