...to paraphrase:
corgan said rock music was purposefully dialed down by MTV in the late 90s. despite the continued present day success of rock music the influence it has on culture has declined. he didnt claim to know the "why" or "how" but mentioned CIA involvement as a known theory (not necessarily his).

Regardless, he's not kidding. He seems to find the theory plausible.

He's almost certifiable. He claims that while he was having sex with a formerly semi famous and now irrelevant starlet, she transformed into a demon.Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑26 Mar 2026 11:05 amOk, so maybe the thread title should be "Billy Corgan: did the CIA kill rock music?"juan good eye wrote: ↑26 Mar 2026 00:53 amwatch the podcast for actual quote:Dicktar2023 wrote: ↑19 Mar 2026 16:40 pmNo?

Re: Billy Corgan: the CIA killed rock music
Wacky beliefs for sure! Kind of like how 7 out of 10 Americans believe in invisible good guys in the sky called angels. Also certifiable, these people surround us, they stream music and they go to concerts with the general public!! How are we supposed to enjoy music sharing oxygen with these people??20th Century Boy wrote: ↑27 Jun 2026 20:38 pmHe's almost certifiable.
