I don't think that is entirely true, a lot of the other artists I follow also get shit on, even more than Billy at times. I think Billy has brought a lot of this criticism on himself as well, and he continues to invite it. He just acts on whatever whims he has and tries to sell it as art with a dollop of integrity. In this scenario he heavily promoted the Siddhartha event, set it to an 8 hour timeframe to maximize publicity, handed out a badly written artist statement, and then spent 8-9 hours trying to set things up. If we buy the argument that what he's doing is "art" then we can also conclude that it was "bad art" because it was not successful in its execution, especially in terms of what his artist statement claimed. It's difficult to defend Billy's teahouse performance because it really is just about him garnering publicity for his shop and bringing in warm bodies through the door. I can't in good conscience defend it on any artistic merit, and I don't blame other critics for not being able to either. I fully believe that had Billy put some thought, effort, and real intent behind the event, with some genuinely good noise music, the reactions would have been different. People too often, especially Billy, default to the notion that people are going to criticize him anyway so he doesn't even fucking try to take art seriously. |

Somewhere in between the actual performance and that recent tribune article a lot of people seemed to forget that the Siddhartha performance was not "a concert." I knew that was going to happen.

Yes, you called it long ago. Actually before the full announcement. I'm not being sarcastic.

The part that bothered me about the recent Tribune article is that the whole stance seemed to hinge on one drunken redneck woman at a Neil Young concert.

I think she probably pissed the dude off and he has been holding it in since. Finally found away to make it relevant.
I would do it too. |

Just re-read the Tribune piece and it really doesn't make much sense. I honestly don't think that any of the negative critiscism BC received had anything to do with his choice of literature or the fact that the performance was tied to a piece of literature. If anything the spoken word bits helped to balance the performance out. Take out the words and it would have been a much larger and more boring mess.
It seems like the Tribune piece is trying to use the literature tie-in as a crutch, saying "look at all these other musicians who have done things based on the written word" as if that actually matters when judging the final product. Bottom line is that, with our without Hesse, the ZuZu's performance just wasn't that good. |

Well there was someone that wrote that the attack on the siddhartha event (this was before it happened) was more an attack on buddhism than Billy Corgan. Can't remember who wrote that, I know HU retweeted it.

A few tribune writers were bitching about corgan kicking out their collegue on twitter and HU told them, why don't they find out why he was upset and kicked him out and not just assume what it is. Said something funny like, "isn't that what reporters are supposed to do".
After I read that I wonder if this dude did contact corgan. The article came out and right after so did corgan's announcement of the rumi event. Sp retweeted this article today. |
