    D’Arcy always cracks me up with her snarkiness and with how completely unintimidated she is by Corgan (as compared to Iha and Jimmy). It’s sad knowing this is only about a year before she went off the rails :(

      These days D'arcy is still unintimidated by Billy lmao. She recently spoke out against him when he said that she burned all bridges between her & the band. She said something to the affect of, 'he's money hungry, he's changed for the worse'. I think she even mentioned James changing into a dickhead in her eyes. It's nice to know that she still speaks her mind all these years later.

    I've always loved the sardonic attitude/humor of the Smashing Pumpkins. They were truly a one of a kind during the era they came out in. Totally reinvigorated the scene, and I wasn't even born until the late nineties, but I know from listening to their music compared to other music coming out at the time that they brought something new and beautiful.

    • @cygnustsp

      I still find it strange because i don't easily identify with a lot of Billy's beliefs, but i feel like he's one artist that i really get. I'm not "spiritual" or anything like that but maybe other than Neil peart billy somehow makes the most sense to me
