ABOUT ME
The lyrics, the connection, the understanding.
FAVORITE LYRIC
the sun has blessed
the rays are gone
and all the kids have left their tears and gone home

sweet 17, sour 29
and i can't explain myself
what i'd hoped to find
you were all so kind
when i was near

and if you're still feeling down
then maybe you need me around
to love and hold you
don't say i hadn't told you so
maybe you need me around

i had no luck
i had no shame
i had no cause, just 17 days of rain
and you in my eyes

just one more song to slay this earth
and i can't explain myself just what it's worth
it was all i had, but not all i'd need
and i can't escape the fact that i still bleed

and if you're still feeling down
and if this seems way too loud
then maybe you need me around

i had no voice
i had no drive
i had no choice
i've done my time
i had myself
had my band
i had my love
had no hand in watching it all fall apart

and if you're still feeling down
then maybe you need me around
to lift and scold you
to send you crashing all right now
maybe you need me around

I know we watched the DVD together last night (thank you for patiently waiting like a good friend would) and I have to give you my review now. Last night was a bit drama filled and then we played Gears of War, so somewhere along the way I forgot to tell you what I really thought.

While I enjoyed the documentary and all the frame-in-frame action I can't help but feeling, at the end, that it was not quite finished. We got a sense of Billy's frustration certainly, but it was just almost completely Billy talking most of the time, sharing his views on this and that but namely his frustration because SP wasn't being thought of as SP with the current lineup.
This is how I would have made the doc better:
1. A mini doc that quickly but effectively shows the bands earlier rise and fall. This would give the whole thing a grounding and would cause the view to empathize with Corgan's residency struggles more. He kind of comes off as a grumpy old man instead of tortured genius, or maybe a grumpy old genius. This way, people who know very little about the pumpkins would be interested in it instead of wondering what he was talking about all the time.
2. More in depth interviews with Steven and Ginger, to showcase how they are merging with the band. I felt like they just gave soundbites. Lisa had a good interview however.
3. Show less of the playing on the actual doc (save it all for disc 2) and instead focus on the new group dynamic, contrasting it with the old possibly.
4. Residency means that they would be working collectively on songs, but I only saw Billy sitting with his guitar. I never even heard about if Ginger, Steven, or Lisa were coming up with their own music all day long like Billy ( in his fabulous nightgown) was.
5. It kind of just ended without any interviews about what they learned to close the arc of the story back up.
6. Speaking of that story arc...it was pretty non existent. Even in a documentary this needs to be there to be effective to the viewer. There needs to be a buildup of something, a journey with something learned, not cheesy movie of the week crap, but stuff that can be inferred even by some closeups at the end. What did Billy learn? How did this effect the new band members? How many new songs did he write? Interview some major music critics who are both for and against the Pumpkins so that the viewer can come up with their own opinion.

The excellent things:
I have to say, the cinematography was stellar. Nothing needing improving there. As were Billy's interviews. He proved to be eloquent and express his ever burning inner rage at the injustice of the world in accepting them (him). Pete Townsend's interview was very good! I especially liked the part where he described what Roger Daltry would do had he been there.


That's my story and I'm stickin to it.

Peace!
River
