if all goes wrong

Billy Corgan. Billy, Billy, Billy. What are we going to do with you? You reform your band (with new members)and get people all excited. You play residencies in San Francisco and North Carolina. But then play no old material. And then you bitch and moan about how nobody understands you and how fans should be willing and eager to hear your progression as an artists. Then you make a documentary all about an artist trying to stay relevant in today's world. You know what? You were relevant as an artist back in the 90s because you wrote songs that connected with the moment in popular culture. Sure culture changes, and to stay relevant is to keep giving those fans what they connected with in the first place. Give them the classics and they will accept the new.
