I have a very poor track record interacting with fans. But at the end of the day, I think breaking the Fourth Wall is just as interesting. Any memorable fan reactions over the years? But we always have fun together. I mean look at what most people pay attention to…. When was the point where you felt you had arrived?
Cover of the second biggest magazine, the third biggest and on and on and on. And being in the tabloids. So this is just sort of the end result. I would point to a great artist, like Johnny Cash or a Waylon Jennings or a Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, where they lived lives of music and they played and they recorded and they recontexualized.
They never stopped working. People are addicted to the idea of the genius who rolls out of bed. That kind of celebrity advocacy doesn't go unnoticed, and Corgan wound up on the cover of local pet rescue magazine Paws Chicago holding those cats. In the accompanying article, Corgan called them his "rock 'n' roll kittens. CNN anchor Anderson Cooper got a hold of the magazine and poked some light fun at Corgan's cat-loving side on an episode of Anderson Cooper , suggesting that Corgan was "off his alternative rocker" and that it was jarring to see rock stars doing "less rock starry things," such as posing with cats.
Once again, Corgan took to social media, this time to eviscerate Cooper. I realize you're too busy being a globalist shill to know the difference, but there are those of us who do as we like.
Manson and Corgan became close when Corgan served as a consultant on Manson's glam rock album Mechanical Animals. They became so close, Corgan eventually wrote a " strongly worded letter " to Manson to warn him against dating McGowan. According to Manson, Corgan claimed McGowan "would ruin [his] life and ruin [his] career" if she stayed with her.
It's never explained how McGowan would ruin Manson, or why Corgan had it out for her. Manson and McGowan eventually did break up two years later, although McGowan attributes that to Manson's cocaine use, not Billy Corgan.
So ultimately, it might have just been Corgan causing drama because he was bored and he could. Corgan prepared to hit the road in with the "reunited" Smashing Pumpkins for eight months of shows. He had a Or really, any lineup at all. For example, bassist Ginger Pooley opted to stay home and take care of her newborn baby. Nicole Fiorentino of Veruca Salt stepped in. Longtime drummer Jimmy Chamberlin sat this one out to focus on his jazz fusion side project , although Corgan claims to have fired him, telling Rolling Stone that Chamberlain was "a destructive human being.
To replace him, Corgan held open auditions and hired year-old amateur drummer Mike Byrne. The new Smashing Pumpkins couldn't even get through its first show without incident. As the concert at Los Angeles's The Viper Room drew to a close, Corgan put down his electric guitar in favor of a ukulele for a solo acoustic set. As Corgan tried to play a song called "Love is the Sweetest Thing," a heckler shouted out for him to play "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," and another requested the theme song from Welcome Back, Kotter.
The planned encore was canceled, probably for the better. Corgan weighed in on those out there fighting for social causes, comparing them to members of the Chinese communist party that took over China in the s.
The only thing that's going to adjust their ideological fixation is reality. Corgan went on to compare those activists to members of the Ku Klux Klan, and their activities to keep the South segregated in the s. It also operates for a performance space for emerging artists, such as Billy Corgan.
But it wouldn't be an episode in the life of Billy Corgan if it didn't involve a feud. In March , Corgan closed Madame ZuZu's because of what he said were "various reasons which involve tenancy," even though business was "robust and steady.
It appears to be a myth that The Thin White Duke had heterochromia, meaning his eyes were two completely different colours. Bowie actually suffered from anisocoria, namely that one pupil was bigger than the other, giving one iris the appearance of being darker. His dilated pupil was the result of a scrap over a girl with his friend, the artist George Underwood, in the early s.
Underwood punched our hero in the eye and caught his eyeball with a fingernail… ouch. The Weezer frontman was born with his left leg an inch and three-quarters shorter than the right one.
