    The Smashing Pumpkins was the best band of the nineties for me. Billy Corgan is a genius. He wrote some of the very best and most beautiful songs of all time.

      I’ve been a Pumpkins fan since the 90s. I don’t know why but fairly recently (past three or so years) it’s become apparent that they are *the* 90s band. Their music has stood the test of time. Young people are still flocking to their shows. m

He can’t stop being hyper critical of his choices in life and he can’t stop shitting on each and every aspect of his life and I bet a lot of us can relate?

We're all human and we all have feelings.

      So many artists go through this same thing. Sara Bareilles wanted to write more meaningful things too, but her record label tried to strong-arm her into writing a love song. Her response was to write "love song" which is about resisting those pressures and then that song became her biggest hit. It's all about the money.
