BILLY CORGAN: GOOD SONGS, DUMB COMMENTS

And ain't that the story so often with Billy Corgan? I kind of respect his stubbornness: he simply does not play the game. In the press and onstage, he says what he wants to say, even if it comes off crazy/stupid/douchey. 

Let me start off with the bad, so I can end this post on a good note. Billy, who has allegedly been getting in some verbal battles with fans over his unwillingness to do "greatest hits" type sets at the Smashing Pumpkins' shows, recently complained from the stage about Eddie Vedder writing "All The Way" about the Chicago Cubs, saying that it jinxed the team. Whatever Bill. 

On a positive note, I really like the two new songs The Smashing Pumpkins posted on iTunes, "G.L.O.W." and "Superchrist."
