Song Diving With Billy Corgan

Listen everywhere you get your podcasts including: Apple, Spotify Amazon

We dive in with Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins to talk about the songs he’s written, including “Tonight, Tonight,” “Cherub Rock,” and “Cupid de Locke,” and the music that shaped how he hears and writes songs, from The Beatles to Bob Dylan to Bad Brains to Black Sabbath.

Billy talks about letting the song take you like a child by the hand and lead you where it wants to go. He also reflects on trusting that when a song doesn’t land immediately, you may be writing for another generation at another time. A generous conversation about documenting the long arc of a creative life.
