Conan’s Uncle Advised Him To Become A Lawyer Instead Of A Late Night Host (Feat. Billy Corgan) | TCR

Corgan's best album to me will always be Adore. He wrote it after his mom died and it helped me when both of my parents died. I also have to say Machina I and II has always been my second favorite for the shoegazey and beautiful sounds with Jimmy back in the band.

Billy Corgan is crazy talented and influential. Just ask him, he’ll tell you.

[@epbmetal429]

Well, he is a musical prodigy, someone told him that when he was 7.

[@samsabruskongen]

@@epbmetal429 A savant even. He's written some brilliant music, but damn, the guy is full of himself.

Amen. I don't know the guy (Smashing pumpkins... ok...), but after 15 seconds of him talking i find him annoying already.

[@Olive78-w]

Ha!! He didn't let anyone do studio work on Siamese Dream. It's all him....he loves Billy

[@sfawsf]

Very cool to see 2 of my favorite personalities from the 90s finally having an in depth conversation together.

[@ectoplasma5]

Yes !

[@starmelter-band]

I'm so happy for Billy that he's finding newer and deeper levels of creative territory and expressing from that vantage wonderfully. All the Atum songs have so much to parse, making relistens very rewarding. It reminds me of the Prince album Lovesexy, or Bob Pollard's first solo album "Not in My Airforce", in that it's such a departure from what was, and the freedom afforded by this earned evolution yields an ornate tapestry of a wonderland that one can explore for many fulfilling hours.

Conan as a lawyer in court would be something out of Liar Liar with Jim Carrey 💖😂💖

[@shoepanda]

That is such a crazy story, I can't believe his uncle literally called the network head about how Conan should be a lawyer instead of the host of Late Night. xD

[@theterribleyoutuber7376]

I dont know why, but i like watching billy Corgan interview. I think its bc he is so authentic and genuine.

In your Uncle's defense, how could he know NBC would one day pay you $45 Million to NOT be a Late Night host?

[@hayk3000]

Guess Conan's Uncle convinced NBC at the end

[@masarothgames]

This is a great story that I've never heard about Conan in his early days and I wish he told this story sooner because I think it's a great story!

[@adamplace1414]

If anything explains Conan, it's that a close member of his family called up the head of a network to try to un-hire Conan for this dream job... FOR HIS *OWN* GOOD!

[@TheSeptuagint]

Wish they would post the full video of this interview

Hope to see him back in The Mandalorian soon.

Two of my heroes. Together again.

[@darnbricks]

I used to work at a small record label in Belgium; when things weren't financially going well, the best thing to do, apparently, was to physically destroy all of our unsold vinyl albums at a waste disposal plant, while observed by a notary. We're talking about thousands of records being run over by a bulldozer. As a young guy, new to the music industry, it was heartbreaking to watch. I wish I could've at least taken a picture of this tremendously bizarre event, to give it a place later on in my life - but I wasn't allowed to. This conversation really reminded me of that moment, now eighteen years ago. Capitalism is weird.

[@CChissel]

That’s crazy! I had no idea that was a thing, that’s weird. I’m really not feeling capitalism these days, it sucks.

[@soussansabra3207]

"coudda' used more saxophone!" Something Bruce Dickenson has never said.

[@renee2712]

😂😂😂

[@barrettpickett5603]

My first instrument i paid for was a beginners sax. I kept it the longest. Sold it cheaply but it still looked amazing. Not many people play it but use to love kenny g with the big sax now he does a flute. Simpsons starts every show with a sax. And Saturday night live legendary sound is with a sax.

[@TheTb11111111]

A musical savant- Corgan according to Corgan

[@ComradeMarx1017]

He's a strange character. He is capable of being extremely humble, but also extremely narcissistic. As a guitar player and arranger, he really is gifted. Some of the most fantastic solos I've ever heard. I rank him up there with Michael Bloomfield, Jeff Beck, and Peter Green. With that being said, I do consider him to be a savant guitarist. He is wholly original, and I can always tell when it's Billy on guitar. That's a rare thing to accomplish.

[@EBR846]

I've only in the last few years, come to realize, just how much the world is all about money and power by the various corporations and individuals that have huge influence over it, in regards to the comment about the Q&A regarding making a larger musical project at 3:58. It is the primary factor in almost every major decision and what guides any large business. There is no triple bottom line with these companies, regardless of whatever BS they want to put out there on their P.R. fluff channels on Twitter or the like. Not that I realize the full extent of what goes on in corporate boardrooms and with politicians but I've come to realize this and it only reinforces it, when I pay attention to events of the world.

[@EBR846]

However, this guy ain't that bright. He almost makes me feel smart. He's claiming he's a libertarian free-market capitalist in one publication but then seems genuinely puzzled by the corporate boardroom decisions that based on this interview and my deductions, want a smaller music project (or to not do it). Kind of funny and honestly a bit of a turn off.
