Billy Corgan Wants To Piss On Fucking Radiohead

From ’89 on I’ve had people tell me who I am. And they pick my personality as if it’s a one or two-dimensional thing, and I’m more like a tetrahedron. I can’t think of any people outside of Weird Al Yankovic who have both embraced and pissed on Rock more than I have.

Despite a vague resemblance, more due to the hairdo than anything else, I really wonder what made them choose this guy, he is not an actor but a drummer!

He had a very good contact with the crowd, making friendly conversation with many people there, and someone asked him to play Carly Rae Jepsen’s ‘Call Me Maybe’, a song he has apparently covered during a BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge. ‘I’m not going to do this song again!’ he said as if he had been caught doing something borderline sinful
