- Add Billy Corgan to the ‘but it’s not rock!’ crowd when it comes to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
- Corgan offered his thoughts on a recent episode of the podcast Reinvented With Jen Eckhart: “A general criticism is, ‘Why have a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame if the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame isn’t only relegated to rock ‘n’ roll?’”
- His solution: “Why don’t you just call it the Music Hall of Fame?”
- The Smashing Pumpkins frontman thinks it would be easier to understand: “I quantify rock ‘n’ roll as more of a spirit thing… I think it’s hard for people to understand the definitive qualities, especially when you start putting in pop artists who are strictly pop artists.”
