The Smashing Pumpkins

Read the ones about interpreting the songs and creating the very idea of the concept album--and Frank did chose the songs, thus creating his concept albums. That's being creative, that's being an artist. And of course he played an instrument--his voice, he was "the voice."

You’re polluting this thread. I’ve been a Sinatra fan since before you were a zygote and I’m not going to argue this any more in this thread, it’s a stupid argument since we are primarily discussing songwriting, anyway.

Back to Billy Corgan and his inability to write songs after 40, especially since he’s become a douchebag Libertarian Alex Jones follower who thinks the world is just too damned P.C. and that millionaires pay too much taxes. Even though the state is struggling. Let them eat cake, Billy?

Such angst, ugh. His next album will be called “Fuck Taxing The Rich”. He’s said, here, that he’s worked hard and he’s sick and tired of paying for other people.

Oh, the anger.

Anger!!! Billy is uber angry that people didn’t buy $6 cups of tea at his vegan tea house in a residential neighborhood and discuss Hesse or artistic photography or Carl Sandburg or whatever even though there’s soccer practice and gymnastics and family time, Billy forgot he doesn’t live in a college town but instead lives in a family neighborhood with parents and kids.

Age is completely irrelevant. Every single original Bach aficionado is dead, so what? People exposed to his work hundreds of years later can't discus his work? We are talking about being creative, and I am arguing that being a songwriter is just one, of many components.
