(interview) [Dutch introduction] Corgan: A siamese dream is a dream between two people who are connected in ways that are good and bad. Like how siamese twins would be connected. In the way that maybe there's an advantage to them being twins and connected and there's a disadvantage because they can't separate. It's a good and bad thing. I don't believe in good things, I believe in good and bad things. Yin and yang, and plus and minus [Dutch DJ] Corgan: I almost feel that I'm the same way that, even though maybe I wasn't physically handicapped, that there's something about me that always made me stand out in ways that I didn't want to stand out. I mean people called me names before I knew what they meant. When I was five years old people told me I was conceited and a megalomaniac, and I was just trying to me be, whatever that means, so... I don't know. I've never felt in my entire life like I was belong to any group, club, clique. So I've always had this perspective of being on the outside, even if I didn't want to be, I felt I was there. So there's this strange kinship between me and my brother cos, even though I'm not the same as him, we've almost arrived at the same point [Dutch DJ] Corgan: Cos I like Phil Lynott and I kinda feel bad that - here's this identifaction thing again - I feel like he was a really good songwriter and he's been really overlooked because, maybe because he was a black man. I don't know if he was black but he was West Indian. I mean he grew up in the strangest of surroundings, I mean a black man in Ireland, it's not gotta be the easiest thing and I'd heard stories they'd show up to play, like people would hear the music and then they'd show up to play and people would leave and they wouldn't be allowed to play because he was black. And sometimes I wonder if like because he wasn't your typical kind of rock star person and then when I listen to his songs, there's kind of, you feel like you know the person in a certain way [Dutch DJ] Corgan: I feel like it's a lot more personal and it's a lot more representative of who I am. I think on the first album, although I love it very much, I think I was trying to prove things to myself and to other people and I think I don't feel that way any more. I don't think I have anything to prove so now I feel comfortable just being what I am, which is a songwriter who plays heavy... and quiet [Dutch DJ] Corgan: I can't help but be completely candid and honest. I decided somewhere along the road that I was never gonna be like the rock star that I had read about in a book. That I was gonna be this different kind of rock star, who's like this normal person and is honest, who doesn't feel the need to impress everyone with how good he dresses and how cool he is and things like that. I mean the only thing I care to impress with is my music so.. When I decided that and I gave up all that other stuff I just felt a lot more comfortable. I stopped trying to play like somebody else's game and I started playing my game. Now I just try to be good at what I do and not worry about it Interviewer: Isn't it difficult if you have to open up to so many different people that you sort of spread yourself thin? Corgan: Oh... I feel like butter on toast Spaceboy Corgan: This is 'Moonlight', 'Dancing In The Moonlight' by Thin Lizzy Dancing In The Moonlight Rocket Cherub Rock Today Disarm
