I was poking around the Web, reading a great article on The Guardian about the photographer Spoon paid for their new album cover only to see this horror. Scratch that. Horror implies I care.
Corgan gets well-deserved razzing for the stupid things he’ll say yet he has done some good material; his solo record from a few years back was much better than anticipated too. The Bee Gees cover was excellent. No. I’m not being sarcastic. He has my respect for his hits too. Not everybody has a couple songs still being played to death 15 years after their release.
Hanging out with this has been shouldn’t be a shock after Courtney Love got her hit “Celebrity Skin” out of him; is it just me but doesn’t the song have his lyrical DNA all over it because Miss Love isn’t articulate enough. All those angst-ridden Goth kids who shop at Hot Topic should relax. Given Jessica’s past public spectacles; John Mayer and Tony Romo; she’ll move on, find a new beau in order to regain TMZ and People‘s attention. Then Billy can pen another Emo epic for the Twilight crowd.
Ouch. That last sentence struck right to the heart, what with my being a long-time Corgan fan (though not so much Blinking with Fists), and a Twilight fan on top of that.
Frankly, I’ll always give anything Corgan does a chance. And Trent Reznor. Both of them can be childish at times, but then, I’ve had my own little tantrums, and both of them are musical geniuses.
As for Twilight, it’s better than Dracula. (Explanation.)
