    Howard is one of the few people Billy really opens up to. I listen to a lot of his interviews and always love Stern because they get into really great stuff. This was shocking, he is one of the best artists around and to be told what he was tells me the people managing were morons, they were the losers. Cheers Billy

      That's just Billy's recollection of how things went down. It seems it is in Billy's nature to complain, could be his main driving force to create.
      Anyways it's apparent he thinks way to much.

    • @blitheringrando1410
      @blitheringrando1410 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      ​@@gc5907 I think being treated poorly at home maginfies any criticism to him. I think he just wants to be understood, but he doesnt realize that to be completely understood means you're probably quite shallow. If you're a complex person you're gonna be a little lonely in some aspects.

      I’ve been a Pumpkins fan since the 90s. I don’t know why but fairly recently (past three or so years) it’s become apparent that they are *the* 90s band. Their music has stood the test of time. Young people are still flocking to their shows. m

He can’t stop being hyper critical of his choices in life and he can’t stop shitting on each and every aspect of his life and I bet a lot of us can relate?

    This reminds me of something. There was a good documentary concerning this called Heckler. It was about successful stand up comedians admitting that some of the over the top criticism from some critics (and I mean the super vile criticism that resembled a personal attack rather than constructive criticism) really did affect them a lot in some cases. We're all human and we all have feelings.

      So many artists go through this same thing. Sara Bareilles wanted to write more meaningful things too, but her record label tried to strong-arm her into writing a love song. Her response was to write "love song" which is about resisting those pressures and then that song became her biggest hit. It's all about the money.
