Another Blogging Rock Star

I learn from Jackie D. that Billy Corgan has a blog. He's blogging about the recording of his solo album, in fact.

Hi... We started a few days ago (the 15th) to get it together for my first solo album...some would argue that it's not my first, and I won't argue with you there! (just kidding!!!)...anyway, I am excited to work on this music, because for the first time in my life it will be my tunes with no compromises to anyone or anything...

Famous last words. Good luck with it, though.

Ugh, I hate to be an HTMeLitist, but why on earth would someone decide to do a blog in Flash format when there are so many easy to set up, easy to use straightforward HTML formats out there?

I wonder if he knows no one will be able to link to any individual entry, and Google won't be indexing anything he says. (print anything, use ctrl-f to find any text, copy and paste anything, bookmark any entry, etc. etc. etc.)

Dr. Frank, you had to type that quote out yourself, I assume? Someone point that man to Movable Type!

Wow, it only took me to read that one paragraph to start hating Billy Corgan. WHY BILLY? You used to be so cool. You, meaning your Pumpkins as a collective whole. Not you. You were never cool. Okay maybe I'm just mad about them breaking up still, but that's not important. Anyway, see you in Detroit Dr. Frank! You'll see me too cuz I'll be the only guy flashing his chest (well maybe not the only one).

Dear Doctor Frank,

Did you hear Heather King, Joe King's sister, talking about the Queers on NPR today? She was on "All Things Considered".

Dave, I think you should volunteer to be his webmaster. And maybe I could volunteer to ghostwrite the content. JK!!!!!...!!

Frank,
Your blogs kick Billy Corgan's blogs ass!

That blog is a trainwreck. I felt like I was looking at the written equivalent of James Brown's most recent mug shot.

Dr. F, thanks for having such a great blog, and thanks for not writing in yearbook-ese. I'm being quite sincere.

i think a music genre needs to be invented called, 'blog rock.' or at least a big concert event entitled, 'the BLOGGERS of ROCK,' featuring you, billy, bob, billy bob [if he has a weblog devoted to 'private radio'], etc. it'll be huge. fuckin' HUGE.
