I continue to feel in a funky mood. Maybe it is the fast-approaching Autumn and Winter seasons. Maybe it is the fact that because it now gets darker earlier, I have not been able to go bike riding after work. Whatever the reason, I am still feeling funky, so please bear with me.
In the meantime, here is a musical offering to get your weekend started. There was a time when I was a huge fan of Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins. Actually, I am still a big fan – I just don’t listen to them as much as I used to.
Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins created an eclectic mix of different musical styles. As the group’s songwriter-in-chief, Billy Corgan wrote lyrics that had a certain poetic quality to them; he effortlessly mixed themes of religion, philosophy and sociology into his music. This is something a tad different from my usual ballad and folk song selections – I think, however, that you will all enjoy the change of pace.
Have a wonderful weekend.
