Spade got #1 right.
Jorath got #2 right.
I was in a Smashing Pumpkins mood. A great Chicago band, with awesome music and the wherewithall to bow out of the biz when at their best -- with the class to put out their last "album" online for free and to perform 3 final concerts for free in Chi-town. Recent Corgan interviews reveal he had an issue with the attitudes of popularity and the constraints of personality conflicts in the band. Since he wrote almost ALL their lyrics, I guess breaking out on his own was natural.
I'm listening to 1979 again as we speak. A beautiful song among beautiful songs.
One last indulgent 1979 quote: "I know you better than you fake it." Great quote!
*Moment of Personal Truth*
Because I had a run-in with Johnny Law at a Smashing Pumpkins concert in Louisville, KY, including getting roughged up by a cop who swore I'd never be a lwayer (a *horrible* venue, the Dead's friends refuse to return to this day -- You suck Louisville -- oh, and to that particular cop: F*** you, buddy, you were very wrong), I had an aversion to Smashing Pumpkins' songs for many years. 'Twas a shame.
Anywho, go ahead guys. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
