Nancy Grace’s Blog

We must stop the next Billy Corgan before it's too late

By Nancy Grace

Bio & Blog

A mother was sentenced to twenty years behind bars for locking her seventeen-year-old adopted son in a CAGE and nearly STARVING him to death. Now, as a mother myself, I can understand the impluse to lock a son in a cage for a while: The crying, the talking, the UNCONTROLLABLE SEX DRIVE. And then there is the danger posed by the external world. (If I didn't have to worry about getting groped all the time, maybe I could have worn clothes to school like the rest of the girls in my grade, rather than a modified beekeeper's suit slathered with an anti-pheromonic jelly.)

But still, this mother went TOO FAR. The boy was found weighing only 49 pounds. I can lift 49 pounds with one hand! (I also found out I can lift the back end of a car with one hand after I went into a rage-fueled adrenaline rush when an unsuspecting woman got between me and my babies in a parking lot, but that's another story.) Clearly the abuse left a physical toll, but just imagine the emotional toll! He may look shattered on the outside, but his head is probably throbbing with angular metallic alterna-rock guitar riffs and embarrassing teenage lyrical cries for help.

Friends, we survived Smashing Pumpkins the first time. Can we really put ourselves through that mopey self-serious crap again?

Unfortunately, it's too late for this boy, he must be kept like a rat in a cage for a while, at least until we can be sure it's safe. If I could go back in time, I'd kill Hitler, convict OJ Simpson and smash the guitar little Billy Corgan's parents got him for his seventh birthday. THIS IS OUR CHANCE to make things RIGHT for FUTURE GENERATIONS of would-be alternative rock fans!

Jesus Christ don't you just want to punch that guy?

Do you know how many bangin' outfits you can fit into when you weigh 49 pounds?

You're an idot.

Bob Dylan:

I hate it when everyone gets on the "Lets Hate Billy" bandwagon...
Billy's parents wouldn't buy him a guitar and he had to beg family and freinds to attend his shows so he wouldn't be embarrassed. He worked hard to get where he is today and even if you don't enjoy his music you've gotta respect him for making new stuff and not just playing tonight again and again and again....
And i think he's getting even better:)

Arnold Schwarzenegger:

I agree with Mr. Dylan.

Christopher Walken:

Stop hating on Billy Corgan and his personal music. I would kill Nancy's parents, if I could go back in time.

Courtney Love:

This is ridiculous and no I don't "just want to punch that guy" . . .
Maybe you should read about his childhood before you say such awful things about him and his music.
Corgan is a musical genius and I am happy that The Smashing Pumpkins are back on the music scene and honestly they were one of the best alternative bands of the 90's.
Their music is timeless compared to the crap that is out today.
Nancy, you are a moron.

corgan lover:

Billy Corgan is the god of rock, and his music helped me with my troubles growing up. If it wasn't his parents giving him that guitar who knows were I'd be today.

Amy Winehouse:

Oy! You'd likely be listenin' to Soul Asylum, you whiny li'l scrote.

Ignorance is bliss, huh Nancy?

Jon Stewart:

I think Billy Corgan's story is inspirational. This is someone who went through very hard times growing up, but instead of becoming a typical troubled child who eventually ends up in jail, he channelled his "rage" through his music and gave an entire generation a voice. I would recommend you do more research before you trash somebody you clearly know nothing about.

David Lynch:

It is not wise, to even think of offering one good ol' Abe copper coin to this mad man.
You really want to fuck up your karma, go right ahead.
In the early 90's o k, yes this act could be/was wise, because at the time, the music was mind blowingly trippy and symbolic.
You can get away with anything if the tunes are spanking a fluffy bunnies talmud in the hot rays of the dawns sunshiny rays.

And, I think he actually liked females then, in a jerk, jerky, affectionately jerk sort of way, but anyways.

That EYE song really gave some oomph to my Lost Highway. EYE, yeah.

I am smoking right now, thinking of that hot EYE song. What I don't like is I have to stop thinking about it, because eventually I get a not pleasant barfy feeling. Why.
Why can't this be a good flavor of the month nauseousness?

If he was a genius or truly mad we all know I'd be having dinner with him, some kale and quinoa.
Some probing of that supposed vast mind of potential and transcendental possibility.
But a pea has taken over, not a good pea, not a cool pea, not a buddhist karmic pea, but that pea- that fucked up that girls bed when she was trying to sleep. A sleep depriving annoying pea. A blind killer pea. A pea with very poor humor.
A sad pea. Not green, because green denotes a strong feeling or helpful queasy, I am talking blinding burning neon urine OFF green on full blast.

He absolutely hates the female sex.

It's interesting to pretend that you hate anything so you can get a point across, perhaps one that has not been made before, but literally is kind of disappointing because it's medieval and medieval has been done, beaten, to death, just really, that dog is a burger right now & you want to eat that poor thing and be reborn a dog burger??
Who- wants that, you tell me. I don't know maybe that's what he wants.

I am, after all, honored to know two of the most interesting, versatile brilliant and insanely hot women on earth, Isabella Rossellini and Laura Dern.

Laura Dern, Laura Dern, saying her name is cleansing. You think she's have anything to do with him?? Doubt it.

How many albums would he have sold if she even breathed on them. If he even could fathom a life without that pea so that she would even be in his presence-. Think of that.

!

No understanding Inland Empire for him!

Just total refusal of his destiny, and reversal into the worst of psychic disease.
Lame, lame. How screwed up is THAT!

He is not, on that plane.

He is still into gurus and cults and getting pissed off because that pea of his is getting pissed off because it knows that the gurus & the cults are fakes but it does not know how- to deal with this reality and transcend.

So, he gets ripped off , acts annoyingly ripped off , attracts rip offs and then in turn rips off other people!!!!

I might be a little wacky, but you won't see me on a stage somewhere forgetting the 'boys' and calling 'girls' sluts.

Boy, girl, boy, girl, it is good that it's illegal for boys to beat up girls in our day and age so that we can pointlessly insult them mutually and then girls can progress because they don't have to worry too much about being beaten up.

He whines about and uses his childhood survival stories to take advantage of, in his mind- gullible people, of money and sympathy. When this just makes him seem monsterous, cruel and crazy.

No wonder he is friends with Jt Leroy. & Jt Leroy is actually an incredible writer but you are asking for a huge karmic fuck over to make a living as a fraud , let a lone a child abuse surviving fraud, while millions have suffered at the hands of real abuse. Makes me wonder. Of course no one is perfect, duh, but COMON! It's an o k but a no thank you type of thing. That is why people got pissed off because people are not stupid.

He claims to believe in god and for equal reasons- anyone who really believes in god lacks any so called 'progressive' sensibilities and is most likely completely manipulative, destructive and self destructive, usually tending to ignore the last part until it finally dawns on them.

I like Richard Dawkins you can google that.

He has an unoriginal messiah/ armageddon complex.
What ever happened to the grain of sand or the chilean pepper complex?

He enjoys telling fables as if they were truths.
Which is well, kind of interesting but not really because how exciting is the truth!! Especially when it's warped.

Could you imagine what would happen to the man, if he stopped bitching about how he thinks everyone hates him & looked into why he says stuff like that and actually blared out the truth and all he hides, to people?

How mind blowing would it be if he said "I am a total asshole"? How earth shifting and cleansing would it be if he actually took responsibility for the crap he's done.

He would birth new songs like a diaspora of ten thousand galaxies.

But no, he loves , chooses, finances and admires people who make a living licking toilet bowls.
He verbally beats up his former bandmates D'arcy & Iha annoyingly, to no end and for no purpose but to make himself look 'great and or important'. When he's just shoving more bad karma down his throat.

Shops , oops sells, at Target and Best Buy and loves them fuel burning autos.
Beats up Radio Head in great loser like fashion, for selling In Rainbows sustainably and with creating honest awareness and perspectives on the reality of music markets.

He is friends with and hires stupid female porn stars to be in his material,( the toilet licker ) but not male porn stars. Why?
I say team them up for even better boring shock value.
Where are the 19 year old self proclaimed hard core porn star boys choking on the clam bake teary eyed & gagging.

If it's just- the 20 year old psychotic 'Sasha Grey girl' choking and gagging on the rod just like any other porn star, and- whining about being dressed up on Tyra banks Tv show like a teen- but not bitching when she's dressed up like a 10 year old for Vice magazine.
If that is not one of the rides on his train of hypocrisy then I am a gold tomato.

I want, to see an equally dumb as a doornail hard core porn boy to match that steely vapid tin can to make it funky.

That was a JOKE, the LAST thing I need is to over hear MORE of these fucking people in LA at the green smoothie bars, with the same damned eye rolling and frankly depressing statement" I am so pretty and existential and horny oh oh please hire me because I take it up the ass for celluloid, one day I hope to be mainstream, I am unique". & this is just the guys- I over hear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ENOUGH of these clones!! & those fucking suicide girls/boys are like a roach infestation!

In other words he has no concept of the complexity, complicity, imagination and intelligence in the representations of sexuality in Mulholland Drive. Perhaps he used to but no more.

I am sorry I am not a snot.

And---!! No love for cows whatsoever, not at all.
Not even any insight into the power of loving cows. You want to know where genius really comes from? Loving cows. If you read this entire thing and laughed at least once you have blessed him with a cleansing transmission that may transform his life but right now I have better things to do.

Bye.

Aww fuck all ya'll. Billy Corgan is god. This bitch that wrote this can shove it. Ya, I feel the pain for the abused boy but insulting some one who has created beautiful music isn't nessicary. She's just sourer she can't have him and his millions.

Mel Gibson:

My movie the Passion was really about Corgan. I don't know anyone who has been crucified as much as this poor man since Adore came out. I love Billy he is a true American Hero.

Why would I want to punch Billy Corgan.
I want to punch you though.

Nancy Grace:

David Lynch is the most repulsing man I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. Not only is his package quite miniature, he must insult others to feel somewhat larger. A sad, pathetic, lonely person it takes to spend time bashing people he has never talked to or researched. (Why does this sound so shockingly similar? Oh well...)

By the way, my poolboy asked me to deliver a message to you, Mr. Lynch. My memory is fading terribly in my old, old age. If I remember correctly, I believe he said, 'You never call me anymore, was it something I said? If you still love me, my window and my heart will always be open.' - Will there be a return message?

That's all I have time for now, everyone. David Lynch and I are both two of the most unintelligent people of our lifetime, and disgusting people like us need more beauty rest than the average moron. Good night!
