Bro, Ash Wednesday was like 6 months ago, you can wipe that shit off your forehead
this dog turd owns the shambling corpse of the NWA
I think (haven’t really been paying attention) he’s gone a bit weird nowdays
Over the years I’ve seen critical comments (“Fashing Pumpkins”, etc) but I didn’t investigate until a minute ago. I learned he thinks of himself now as a “free-market libertarian capitalist”…
Political beliefs
In 1998, Corgan said he had not participated in an election since 1992, when he voted for Bill Clinton. Following the election of Barack Obama in 2008, Corgan stated: “I’m very proud of my country right now for doing the right thing.” He has since said that he was disappointed with Obama’s presidency, and that he lacks faith in both major political parties. In 2009, he posted a transcript of a webcast by political activist Lyndon LaRouche to the official Smashing Pumpkins forum. On March 10, 2009, Corgan testified in front of Congress on behalf of the musicFIRST Coalition. He spoke in favor of H.R. 848, the Performance Rights Act, which gives musicians and artists their share of compensation when their music is played on radio stations.
In an interview with radio host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in 2016, Corgan voiced discontent with “social justice warriors”, comparing them to Maoists, cult members, and the Ku Klux Klan, and calling their actions a threat to freedom of speech. In 2018, he called himself a “free-market libertarian capitalist”.
I guess Roger Waters is a pretty admirable exception when you think about it.
It’s hard impossible for me think of another big name English language musician like him that I at least know the name of. I think I could google for hours and get nowhere.
Was never really into Pink Floyd’s music…
I love Animals. But I always skip the first and final tracks which are part one and two of the acoustic Pigs on the Wing. They function as “bookends”. I just don’t care for them.
- “Pigs on the Wing (Part One)” 1:24
- “Dogs” 17:04
- “Pigs (Three Different Ones)” 11:28
- “Sheep” 10:20
- “Pigs on the Wing (Part Two)” 1:24
Have a listen to Dogs. I just realized how silly it is for me to recommend a track that’s 17 minutes long to somebody lukewarm on a band. Oh, well. It’s still a great song.
