I'd be fine with never knowing the context for that picture, but the ambiguity of Billy's expression does intrigue me. Is he happy? Sad? Scared? Desperate for a piss?

I mean yeah, if you were to go up to his face and be like 'hey, bill, you named your kid something stupid'
but just to generally lament the awful names people - who are strangers to you and who you will never meet - give their kids because they are clowns is really one of the least deleterious negative instincts one can have

my main gripe with people with their "unique" or whimsical naming habits is that invariably their own boring names are better. like William Patrick is a much better pair of names than Augustus Juppiter

Do you like his lyrics? I think a lot of Blinking with Fists is as good or better than his lyrics on the first five records.
"A Twixt the Twine"
A twixt the twine and flowers divineDevise the design in this copper wineAghast the mask of ripping changeA loft amongst the highest paid
blend in the softer huesBespeak of melon and her honey fuseLight my ire's with playful trustFor devour you insatiable I musSo mixed the mire the many did soarSour the supirn on slippery floorGreen the grievous poured wound into saltSalacious and sated the savory sport
Don't get certain play trickw with mine pullGather your colours and ever your sulkNo manners in me matter the most Than playing valor to your consummate hostPillow the phenom on purring divanMellow the missing on vanilla white toastLaboured among the living lull lastRepay the repast in revolting rake
Never come give it up, whatever you may squanderThe figs in the pockets and the coursings down underBy blood are the passions passing us upBy pill the poison feelingThe heat it kills me everydayBy graveyard vigil and candles I bakeAnd kitchens are aching for archangel fallsOf soft baby bottoms and polished skulls, amen.

do u like his lyrics though? jw
― flappy bird, Sunday, 27 December 2015 18:03 (eight years ago) link
i mean i still love many of the lyrics on sd, mellon collie, adore, and machina, but who knows how much of that is just growing up with them
guy went for a more direct style around zwan/the poetry book and it's negatively affected his songwriting ever since imo. give me "in the slipstream of thoughtless thoughts" over that shit any day
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 27 December 2015 18:03 (eight years ago) link
he was also a formative influence on my own writing, let me tell you i loved the incoherent garbage "excerpt" from "glass and the machines of god" in the machina booklet. i also still sorta like it bc billy obv just liked the lamb lies down on broadway way too much, which same
― HYPERLINK TO RAP GENIUS (BradNelson), Sunday, 27 December 2015 18:05 (eight years ago) link
I should say that "billy corgan was a formative influence on my writing" really just applies to me writing bad poetry at ages 12-14 but i'm probably compromised forever in ways i don't even recognize
