Billy Corgan will release Blinking With Fists, his first collection of poetry, in September. "I started writing poetry about four years ago because I think there are things that I can do [in verse] that I can't do in my lyrics," says the former Smashing Pumpkins/Zwan frontman. "I don't think the poetry is going to be for everybody, but I've never let that stop me before."
Should be interesting. Wasn't there supposed to be a poetry book with stuff from a bunch of punk singers coming out soon? I can't remember...
Corgan's lost it. Losing two bands in a couple of years, bashing A Perfect Circle... Let's hope that at least he's a better poet than a frontman
, It really is true though, A famous quote from Sharon Osbourne "Im Quitting from the managing position of the Smashing Pumpkins due to Health problems, Billy Corgan makes me sick" Amazing haha

That old, ugly mad woman. j/k And Billy stopped Zwan cuz Zwan didn't feel the same way as The smashing pumpkins did. And that doesn't have to do with 'a good frontman'. Just read... Billy told US radio station WGN-Ch 9: "My heart was in Smashing Pumpkins. I really enjoyed my experience with Zwan, but at the end of the day, without that sense of deeper family loyalty, it just becomes like anything else." He continued: "Our attitude with the Pumpkins was, it was a do or die proposition, and that got us through all the hard times we went through, particularly with the Pumpkins where we had two members with serious drug problems." So, now i hope you'll understand me. Well, i love Billy and his band and nothing on the world can change that. But hey, everyone's got his own opinion! And i appreciate that, even if you think i feel attacked or something
