Here I will just write few personal notes about Smashing Pumpkins.

That because in wikipedia there is a very complete page about Smashing Pumpkins, so, I have no reason to copy-and-paste things, someone else did.

Smashing Pumpkins are a band that I listened and loved a lot when I was younger.
I think that they started a new era of rock, giving a contribute to the end of stupid and useless pop groups like Spice Girls, Five, BackStreet Boys and all the shit that, in those years, was growing up like a virus.

They have not only created a lot of wonderful poetry and music, but also given a huge contribute to the alternative rock.

A lot of their songs are very wrought out, deep and powerful.

Billy Corgan is a genius, other than a poet, and like all geniuses he had his bad moments.
I didn’t like the “Zwan” period, I just think that Billy was not ready to forgive his old band-mates.

Now that they are together again, I hope to go to their concert soon.

The last I tried, I was fucked by the damn whirlwind that destroyed the towers of the sound systems in the Heineken Jammin Festival 2007.
Italy sucks.

Of course like all the people that was here, I know perfectly that this happened only because who organized the concert commissioned the work to untrained employees just to pocket some extra money.
Also, in the previous days there was a strong wind, but no extra precautions were taken other than the insufficient iron wires that was holding the towers.
Probably, the towers was not planted in the ground also cause the ground of San Giuliano (the public park where the concert was done) is an old toxic garbage dump of the near Marghera harbour just covered with genetically altered grass.
