Good to know he believes in God - actually it's smashing to know that fact! I am smiling politely.

I love a conspiracy theory, how about you?
Although this one isn't necessarily new -- lots of folks have opined about the convenient coincidence of an escalating so-called pandemic mixed with an under-supply of vaccinations while the country debates healthcare reform -- it's all the more delicious when it comes from a rock star of some note.
With that in mind, when singer, songwriter, and leader of the now defunct alternative band The Smashing Pumpkins suggests swine flu "is not a naturally occurring virus," and that "President Obama has declared a national emergency" when "there isn’t one," you have to pay attention just for the entertainment value alone.

And right in time for Halloween
‘Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage.’
*SHRUG* We all are, Pal, LOL!
Rainbow Six. “Shiva”
*snickers*
Obama is an opportunist, he is half right. Dose that make half right and half wrong or half right and half left?
and fire can’t melt steel.
yada yada yada
There are people in the world who see Obama as a right-wing stooge. Now THAT’S a political spectrum.
Good to know he believes in God - actually it's smashing to know that fact! I am smiling politely.
I’m not familiar with that one. Enlighten me!
Wow, go Billy Corgan! He’s a bit kooky, but there’s some good stuff in there.
I was a big Smashing Pumpkins fan when Gish came out, but they went downhill in a hurry. They were the worst live concert I’ve ever seen. Their encore was 20 minutes of noise. People left the coliseum in droves during the encore. I never bought another album of theirs.
The bald guy from Smashing Pumpkins: “The deeper message here might be that people will soon be ready to abandon the idea of a paternalistic system that governs this world. Before doing so, we must face down our deeper fears about our own liberty and tolerance. The time is coming when we will cast votes with our hearts and not our minds.”
Not to ruin his karma thingy, but didn’t we just vote our hearts not our minds a year ago? Hopeychangythingy.
I wonder if Billy still feels this way on electing 0:
“I’m very proud of my country right now for doing the right thing.” Billy Corgan (11-4-2008)
good one...hope they make a song
Man I love Billy Corgan....
“I didn’t find Jesus, he was there the whole time...”
In Rainbow Six by Tom Clancy, a billionaire enviromental wacko creates a virus called Shiva. The plan is to release it at the Olympics, thus ensuring that it will go to every country on Earth. When the pandemic takes root, he intends to distribute the vaccine, which in reality is the virus. Within a year, 90 percent of the human population will be dead and “the planet is saved”. Of course being stewrads of the Earth, they stay in a Bioshpere until the virus runs its course.

Bingo. I thought Billy Corrigan was a lib. Maybe more people are opening their eye.
Judge David O. carter is not - he sold out his honor and manhood.
I guess Sting isn’t going to ask them to open for him anytime soon.
I thought Clancy was a conservative but he is a lib. Cast libs in all his movies.
Saw them in there first show in the US since 2000, Asheville, NC in June 2007 and it was fantastic. Sure, their new stuff sucked but the old stuff was incredible. Corgan has never regained the genius of Siamese Dream and MCIS but he still puts on a good show.
He actually mostly donates to Republicans. Vary rarely do authors and script writers get a lot of say in casting. They get a check for the rights to their work, that’s about it. (His address is the Huntingtown one below, I don’t know if the Baltimore is also him)
But I did enjoy what happened in the end to the greenies at the hands of the Rainbow Six team.
Ironically, that sounds like some of the “conservative” posters here at FR.
BC: “Hi, I’m Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins.”
HA: “Homer Simpson, smiling politely.”
Gish. GREAT album!
It’s been years since I’ve listened to that.
I’ll have to bust it out this weekend.
Thanks for the reminder!
I was thinking the same thing.
Getting worse lately.
I believe the Global Warming issue has made a lot of people overly skeptical of ‘science’ so they cling to anyone or anything that challenges conventional science, no matter how kooky. What they don’t see is the difference between so called science that attempts to play fortune teller- predicting the future, and real science that tests, analyzes, and actually has to make accomplishments regarding real life issues or problems. You see it far too often when people compare global warming science(sic) to vaccinations, etc.
I don’t hold that against anyone. We need to change minds in order to win.
I’ll say what I said on November 5th: The American people were given a choice between a radical leftist and a man who’s entire campaign was based on the idea that he’d ‘go across the aisle’ to work with radical leftists.
The American people, in electing Barack Obama, made the most quintessential of American decisions. They cut out the middle man and went right to the source.
Let’s worry from now on about giving people a PROPER choice rather than trying to berate them with a choice that really amounted to the evil of two lessers.
He’s a kook, but he’s smart enough to not trust the Federal Government. That puts him ahead of most non-kooks out there.
Some of his blog posts seem OK.

I really enjoy the music of the Smashing Pumpkins though.

Great way to sum up what happened and what needs to happen!
Despite all his rage, Billy is still just a rat in a cage...
To borrow a phrase: shut up and sing.
Not a RnR PING!
So, will he be called a racist?
His wife is Alexandra Llewellyn, Colin Powell's niece. I bet family gatherings were interesting, like the rest of us, during the election;)
A quote on wikipedia from him says, “I’ve made up stuff that’s turned out to be real, that’s the spooky part. I like writing. It's the most fun I've ever had at anything. You can build your own little world and — like a kid with his toy trains, — except instead of trains I have tanks and ships and airplanes and things... I get to make them do all the things I want them to do, and if I don't like the way things work out, I start again. The information is all out there, if you go looking for it, and the classified stuff just comes from analyzing the unclassified stuff and connecting the dots.”
(Sounds like he could be a FReeper, connecting the dots and all)
It does make one wonder what “dots” he connected to come up with Rainbow Six though.....Scary times.
The ending is totally sweet;)
Sssshhhhh. America faces big problems. This is no time for rational thinking.
Hm, no Billy Corgan in that screen cap. Are they trying to recruit Homer?
SP: "Hi Homer, we're the Smashing Pumpkins."
Homer: "and I'm Smiling Politely."
Billy Corgan with hair? Or maybe this was an early episode from back before Corgan shaved it off. Either way, having Homer be the opening act for the Smashing Pumpkins is pretty funny.

I thought it was the Swine Flu Vaccine. A little Mercury on the brain...
