Corgan in 2008:

"I've had a bad marriage and seven bad girlfriends in a row."

A perspective he attributes to his dedication to music...

Angry

I have this awful feeling that Catholics Against Militarism don't Respect the Troops

As a proud God-Fearing MAGA Jingoist Hoo-Rah American Hero I am just sick to my stomach that someone claiming to be religious would be so focused on peace over idolization of our noble War Boys

Is he arguing against birth control? Against a health care system that provides for contraception so fewer children get born into broken homes and poverty?

It's just a bunch of halfassed nonsense to me at best, a hypocritical anti-choice statement at worst.

Either way it's fucked up
I read it as saying the correct and moral purpose of life is to commit to a family and raise kids, and if you don't do that you are responsible for not having the kids that the universe has purposed you to raise. I wouldn't be shocked if he meant something coded about anti-abortion in there, but I interpreted it as a more broad moral proselytization about the right and wrong way to live one's life mixed with some good old fashioned sex-shaming (Billy has previously made disparaging comments about how promiscuous younger generations are, although he is actually completely wrong on that based on real data on the behaviors of young people).

honestly for the most part I don't think Billy Corgan is really smart enough or a good enough critical thinker to engage with any serious kind of thoughts about policy or political philosophy. he hides in vagueries and word-salad spiritualism to foster this kind of general feel-good religious righteousness worldview, which allows him and other morons like him to feel correct even when nothing they say or think makes sense or even follows an internal logic.

Billy basically did what countless other emotionally damaged people have done: fill the need for attachment with a child who is dependent on them for survival. The idea of therapy is to not do that. Your child does not exist to fix your emotional problems. It's literally a form of abuse.

I sort of wonder if Chloe trusts him while he’s on tour, while she stays home and breastfeeds the baby and makes dinner for the toddler...

re Funbags & Shadaloo:

I forgot who said it, some famous artist: My child is my greatest artwork.

From working around people with massive delusions of grandeur, I learned that narcissists have children not so much because they want to have someone who depends on them, but to create a mini-me of their genius.

Plus, I guess for male former rock stars now in their late forties, there’s a handy intersection between physical capability and having nothing to lose

It's also rad as hell that he's talking about committing to a family and then going out on endless tours

Like have kids but don't change your lifestyle one iota; they'll be there when it's convenient for you to spend time with them

Let's not discuss his parenting approach. Each to their own. It's his business.

Let me put it this way

Making fresh popcorn at home is a skill at which i am very talented. Talkin buttery salted deliciousness that makes ppl not only swear off that microwave shit, but essentially cum, with their mouths/tongues etc. You could even say that i create popcorn with the same kind of passion, skill, and emotion we all saw big willie putting into his solos on tafh recently, for example

At the same time, i am an exceedingly dumb man. Not smart, at all. And i am able to own this. And if someone asks me about the future or the culture or the stars or promiscuity, i might say some horseshit for fun, but it should not form the basis for any serious analysis or action by anyone

Are u starting to see what i’m getting at, here?

The dude is lecturing on family values so I feel like it's fair game, but I also recognize that traveling is part of his job and it may not be financially viable to give up on touring

We just know he's a narcissist so I have Some Feelings about whether or not it he was deeply conflicted about scheduling so many tours back to back

Talking

Also hell yeah to properly made popcorn; share your Tips and Tricks and Techniques

When I can I pop mine in coconut oil for a richer (but not coconutty) flavor

I tried following an online recipe for sriracha popcorn once but I just ended up scorching the shit out of my pot and burning the whole batch

omg...Jack Bates is a mini-me of Peter Hook

Have you ever watched an interview with him? The answer to every question is basically "WELL MY DAD...".

Would you like to play some slap-bass Jack? "WELL MY DAD WOULDN'T DO THAT"

If it's his business, why's it on his IG?

I strongly believe all parenting should be open to public scrutiny for the sake of the child. Oh, the parent doesn't like being criticized? Tough shit. It's not about you.
