I think the last time somebody asked Corgan about Monte, he just responded with "who?"

At this point, we'd probably get a similar response if we asked about Kerry Brown or Linda Strawberry.

Has anyone ever asked him what attracts him to the '20s/'30s aesthetic? Old Hollywood and hand-tinted photos and the like?

I would theorize that it was his ex-wife that got him into that aesthetic. Isn’t she an art curator/restorer for a museum?

Question

In that she is a conservator who presumably likes art, I guess that's a hypothesis? I figured maybe it had to do with that story about his grandmother seeing Lillian Gish, as a kid? Like he looked into that whole world and liked what he saw? I dunno man, that's why I want to hear it from him. And also what I have in my pocket.

Question

Actually I just thought of another one

Did he ever consider having different people sing certain songs on Atum

Like some songs are supposed to be June sending messages to Shiny, or robots celebrating (???) or the government talking or whatever, right? So did he ever think like "I should have this female vocalist do all the songs from June's POV and the Sugar Ray guy could play a hacker" and so on

I guess I'm interested in his thoughts on this for SP in general — James aside, would an SP song an SP song if Billy weren't singing it — but particularly for Atum it seems like it would have made sense to do it up in a grander, full-cast performance thing

My initial guess for Billy would have been Van Weezer, but I am going to say OK Human.

Do you seriously think he could tolerate someone else singing his amazing music. He almost mixed Rob Smith entirely out of that bee gees song. Cause you know, Smith is better than him and everyone knows it.

I just don't know, NovaFritz, which is the basis of me asking the question

Unhappy

I strongly suspect the answer is no, of course, but it seems like this rock opera was a uniquely appropriate opportunity for him to let other voices take the lead

The second, sub-question I guess is where is the line for him with what counts as a Pumpkins song, if he writes and plays it but someone else sings it, is that still The Smashing Pumpkins or some nebulous other thing — that I don't have a feeling for one way or another

I agree it would make sense to use guest singers for different characters. Maybe he is singing differently for each character? It's hard to tell and the nonsense lyrics don't help.

Considering there are several female characters, plus a robot, that would bring it to life more

Just what IS your fascination with Asians and your obvious lack of fascination with African-Americans?

Like, imagine what a light-skinned black guitarist ŕ la Jimi Hendrix could do for the band TODAY
