interview with founder of smashing pumpkins - norral - 03-29-2012 very interesting interview with the founder of smashing pumpkins http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=w8kyfhABWug i agree 100% that musicians have a responsibility with the music they make negative messages created for profit dont work for me. i particularly dislike some of the images of women as sexual objects. that doesnt work for me at all . also dislike this crap about the thug life im a thug etc etc. instead of being a thug and a bully how about being a hero and standing up for someone who is oppressed. that is what i believe in. norral RE: interview with founder of smashing pumpkins - ocean50 - 03-30-2012 Thanks Norral, I look forward to watching this. SP is my favorite band. RE: interview with founder of smashing pumpkins - norral - 03-30-2012 i have a lot of respect for what he said. a thoughtful man who has taken a much deeper look than most at the implications of what he does. RE: interview with founder of smashing pumpkins - Meerie - 03-31-2012 Awesome, thank you.... Billy Corgan is definitely not one of these mainstream puppets. Smashing pumpkins don't make music anymore, do they? Edit: just checked, they dissolved in 2000 but reunited again, later.... Lol, I liked how at the end of the interview Billy tries to subtly direct Alex into a more positive view.... RE: interview with founder of smashing pumpkins - norral - 03-31-2012 so much of the music portrays a negative message, especially regarding women an violence, encouraging kids to confront . everyone is protecting their machissimo. heres a rapper i like common http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi6tatSEaas&feature=related jill scott - she is a singer also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7OwBQPZYh8&feature=related
