Episode 25: Smashing Pumpkins, "Siamese Dream"
The Smashing Pumpkins are historically one of rock's most dysfunctional bands. In this episode, I discuss how Siamese Dream was made during the most turbulent time in their career, as well as the clear meanings behind each song. We'll also cover why the Pumpkins' outcast status in Chicago in the late '80s actually helped them in the long run, how I missed the window of being a true Smashing Pumpkins fan, and the variety of things Billy Corgan is involved in now, like tea and wrestling. You know, the basics.
