    He wrote a song for a concert that cost people money? How's he not selling the song? Plus, what makes it even lamer is he makes a song about not caring, yet he cares because he wrote the song?
    If I could, think I would give in.

    Still, not minding the issue would mean that it doesn't affect him at all, yet you can see that it is affecting him... he wrote a song about it, which definitely is going out of his way. It's not that impressive... I bet most of those songs are garbage anyway.. haha. But seriously, Billy's just got a big ego, so yeah.

    somehow i seriously doubt 'the world' cares whether billy corgan is 'a sellout' or not, especially if pitchfork says so. i invite you to take off the pumpkin shades tho and think about why he got his band (or part of it) back together. not saying it's the ONLY reason, but a BIG reason was to make some $. no shame in it and you shouldn't really defend him for it against rags like the 'fork. with how popular and successful he's been, of course they're going to give him negative press. just the way that shit goes i guess.

    well of course he wants to make money, but who doesnt?

    No the whole world doesn't think that, no one really cares what pitchfork had to say about Billy except a few Pumpkins fans who are foolishly overreacting to an online article.
