If practice makes perfect, and no one's perfect, then why practice?
Billy Corgan

I mean there's certainly a lot of progressive rock and metal that exists at the underground level, which has its own vitality, as it should. But it seems to have lost its ability to really charge up the hill.
Billy Corgan

Most people are living lives of sort of survival. And constantly posing an existential crisis, either through fantasy or oblivion, really has been pretty much explored in rock and roll. At least in the western version of rock n' roll.

Gish was the best representation of where we were at the time.

Image
I'm a Pisces, and Pisces have this weird inability to be completely spontaneous. We're too conscious of our actions. I've always been way too sensible for my own good.
Billy Corgan

I never seemed to fit in. But it made me try to strive for things ten times harder.

Indie world won't have me, and mainstream world treats me like an alien, but here I am still floating between these two worlds.
