BILLY'S RESPONSE TODAY

Here's today's shoot: The band, the brand, the institution this is The Smashing Pumpkins isn't going anywhere. Ever. End of story.

So call me insane, or ugly, or a genius if you're so inclined, but stop clicking on articles that say otherwise. And FUCK/REJECT NOSTALGIA

Playing music I wrote, produced, bled for is not nostalgia. It's called pride. And if I built it then should have the right to define it

By my own calculus, by my own measure, by my own costs; which in human terms have been far greater than material wealth. So its music I love

And if that love, that communication, that gift have you 'helps' or 'heals' you, great...that's magik. The rest?: Tripe. Coal. No Santa!
