Over the course of two Instagram posts, Corgan rebuffs any paternal ties to Swift before delving into a deep rumination on identity. At one point, the musician says the person known as Billy Corgan is merely a construct of his own creation.
“There is NO such person as ‘Billy Corgan,'” he writes, as noted by SPIN. “He (BC) does not exist. Or, if he does exist (per these times), he is a creation from my mind to yours, and no different than a cartoon drawing of Batman or Sponge Bob.”
The Pumpkins recently released comeback single “Solara” (after reuniting with three of the band’s four original members) and they’re out on the Shiny And Oh So Bright Tour right now. Below, read Corgan’s posts and see the upcoming tour dates.
