"Wednesday.

A journalist from Rolling Stone turns up to do an interview. Naturally,
these things are bound to happen when one reaches the forefront of the
rock community. I conduct the interview with an air of nonchalance. She
asks - "Is it true that you're an egotistical control freak...?"
"Of course not", I reply jovially, "that's a common misconception of me,
one I'm trying to dispel."
"What about that your band is a third-rate Sonic Youth rip-off, and that
Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness is a load of belly-aching tripe...?"
"Get the fuck out of my studio!" I screamed. "Mellon Collie is the most
moving composition to come out of this century, and my songwriting makes
John Lennon and Bob Dylan look like the burnt out 70s acid casualties they
really are!"
That fixed her. James turned up later with a song he had written and said
he wanted to put it on the album. I laughed a bit and said if I was feeling
generous I might bury it in a b-side collection or something. The Artist
Formerly Known As Prince turned up and offered to play keyboards. I told
him the band already had a token female member. I am such a witty fellow
really. "

ha-ha. very funny. it is 2 laugh.

What an Ass he is to say that about Prince. He should have been More than Honored,but wasn't Jonathan Melvoin Wendy & Susanna's brother in his band. Could be Corgan a Friend to Wendy,Lisa and Susanna and making a dig .

Oh. Dear.

I realize Billy Corgan can actually BE an a** and an egotistical jerk, but the feeling I get from this is he's using exaggeration to be funny and/or make a point. He knows he's considered a conceited jerk..I think he's just playing around with that reputation.

I must make a confession and admit I've always thought Billy was sexy.

well I dont care Billy is quickly becoming a musician like prince maybe not the same kind of music but just as good hell be up there with prince before his life is over

mrdespues said:

I thought maybe it came from a band website, or a public journal Billy kept. Many musicians have those on their websites now and I thought maybe it was from some such place like that. What was written sure *seems* like something Billy might say or write in an attempt at humor. I thought so, anyway.

He's a cutie!

I like talented guys with attitude problems.

Uncle Fester is actually a Prince fan.

What are the rest of the ex-members of the Pumpkins up to?

Well I always thought D'Arcy was kind of cute in a weird, pale way.

It's kinda funny I don't keep up w/ Billy, didn't know he wrote little tongue 'n cheek tidbits... where's this from? His website or something? Does he have a website? LOL...

Jonathan was indeed the keyboard player in his band, until he took and overdose and died.

Melvoin was not a permanent member of the band, he played keys on tour!

Truth that about Melvoin. That's true. I like the Pumpkins very much however live they are like Robots who don't move. Very Stiff. Just like the Cars were Robotic. I hate when bands just play their songs for the crowd and don't Interact or even Move or Dance. That is a bit Dull. Why pay all that money and not be excited? I'd rather listen to a Record of them then.
