Thirty Days - "Delta Blues" Day Eleven - w/ Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins

[@kieferpowell6420]

This episode was my favorite by far! I could see the hurt in that mans eyes that he's disappointed at our government! I was always confused by hearing veterans say they were treated badly because my grandfather is a Vietnam Veteran and he is treated very well by the VA here in Arkansas. Now I see that America has to really step it up in places like this! Thanks WPC!🇺🇸

[@amymuchko7106]

What a wonderful example of being a human being.

[@skylilly1]

Awe, the sadness in that man's voice and on his face. He deserves better. I had to go the VA window downtown for my dad just to make an appt only to find out we didn't have all the paper work. More waiting and bs. I hope that man gets his day soon.

[@DaSpoonyBard]

Thirty day long American culture documentary starring Billy Corgan? This is some incredible stuff.

[@brentcrawford6061]

LOVE THIS ...LOVE MUSIC AND STORIES & SMALL TOWNS...

[@ecostacey]

Articulate and beautiful as ever billy. Your words will always touch my heart

[@TwistinFool]

Probably my favorite video yet. I love the moment where you talked to those nice folks.

[@ctrldel7647]

Love this series. So many stories.

[@BubbaZen10]

Always knew Billy loved the blues.

[@violetstarla]

Damn that was good!!!! Yeah. there's a lot of substance here billy and the blues! Never a boring moment. Thank you and much love! So touching and refreshing to watch something so real when everything in society today seems so empty and void.

[@legendsofevil]

As someone who tried to learn an instrument alone in my room, I can relate to the idea that playing music by yourself is extremely difficult without some sort of human or environment interaction. Thanks for posting this video, I learned a lot.

[@CUPCAKESUGARPIE]

♥️XXXOOOXXX♥️ Mr. Corgan you are extraordinarily gifted in so many ways🦋You’re an Angelbaby & we are so very fortunate to be able to enjoy your fascinating perception/perspectives🙏Thank You sooo very very much🙌🌊🙌

[@SuperAimee77]

LOVING "Thirty days" and so envious of your road trip/travels!

[@feferosette]

[@fuckyouallanddiehorribly]

[@feferosette]

@@fuckyouallanddiehorribly what?

[@elusive_mg]

i just wanted to say ...i know finally how to play 1979...i will post it soon on my channel, anyway thank you for your music Billy...a fan

[@MsVan13]

I am a nurse and use to work at the VA in Austin Texas. I worked the job of 3 to try to bend rules to help as many of these great men our Veterans try to get around and navigate the red tape that is our Federal government. So sad! They deserve the best care!

[@monikitand]

I love this episode. It is my favorite. I learnt about the Delta Blues, which I had never heard of before. Also the conversation with the veteran is very touching and Billy very sympathetic with him and his wife.

[@DulceDubose113]

Whoever edits this is awesome

[@shayd6897]

Another great episode....I wait all day for these. Thank you!

[@paulacaulfield3489]

Loving this series & so well put together

[@TonWissink]

I love this project ☺👍

[@garylagstrom3864]

Yeah my dad was in Vietnam he was a young mechanic in the Air Force as an Airman and eventually retired Senior Master Sergeant! Loved God, Family, Friends, and Country! He told me one time: Gary you will never know a Hell worse than the Vet who returns home with PTSD and a drug addiction to a Country who doesn’t want him back! Dad said his Army and Marine Corp infantry men lived that personal Hell!

[@heatherjeanmorris8020]

💜fav so far I'd love to go there

[@montagedrift]

Cool Episode.

[@silverroddo1468]

The A plot is great, I also love the B plot of Gatorman tracking Billy.

[@chilinsnOball]

this is amazing. thank you for posting this.

[@benjihollister]

Billy thank you for this

[@dAvrilthebear]

Thank you for introducing me to a lot of good music! Now it's Charlie Patton. Maybe you should do "A personal journey through American (and British) music with Billy Corgan" , because that's what you've been doing anyway since 1988 :)

[@alexgconrad5710]

Beautiful

[@brettbadly]

Great video Billy this is a entertaining series , I came here just after watching - Cherub Rock and Bullet with butterfly wings

[@SukiWukiDookie]

I hope you compile these into a downloadable documentary when it's finished! Love it.

[@SukiWukiDookie]

also, that gator whisperer lol. Would make a great spinoff like another commenter said.

[@mvbjunk]

Love this episode.

[@RichardFriendartist]

Powerful. Thank you.

[@TeresaCookSweetleaf45]

WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@littlecurrybread]

That poor veteran 😭 hope he’s been able to get some kind of aid

[@pumpkinhead1977]

Love this episode!!! 💙🎶💙🎶💙🎶💙

[@RiverKiva]

I love this! Love you!

[@condesamelancolia621]

i love you i miss you in Chile

[@Ramoa111]

my fav so far. l always also felt good music can only come from sorrow, for music (and all art) is intrinsical with emotion. Boredom or the obligation of fulfillment of some recording contract will never have anyone come up with anything good. There are countless examples. l also believe good music is only that which you compose for no other than yourself. lf it's real, if it moves you, chances are it will move others. l dont think any good music has ever come from anyone with an intention of making music for others to like

[@Electric_nothing]

Brilliant!

[@KylieClancy-ub6jo]

That military dude breaks hearts seriously

[@jameswilhite9561]

Cool cat Billy Corgan. A real dude.

[@idleking31]

Love him. We don’t deserve his genius

[@TheHappys]

Does anyone know the song he’s singing at 7:13?

[@garylagstrom3864]

Watching you make the turn going down rd to before you stop I hear what sounded like the transmission going out! Luckily that was not the case!

[@blackstompers2928]

Great...!

[@matthewstroble2602]

I like these vlogs. People need to chill and leave billy alone.

[@jdsalinger3226]

I love Billy, just find him fascinating, been to several show's over the years, his music helped shape my formative years, etc. Really, really like the guy OK. But Goddamn he may in the running for the most narcissistic artist in history. Yet I can't stop listening as he yammers on and on.

[@gerhardjasongeick4229]

Billy does have bipolar. I haven't found it anywhere if he has type 1 or 2, but I suspect type 1, which comes with the god/superman complex, and a heightened sense of self.

[@bennystanley5501]

BILLY FOR PRESIDENT....WHY NOT?

[@daywar13]

Clarksdale is such a nice place, if any artist wants to experience something beautiful, go there. Make sure you don't go into the ghettos of there though, it's scary.

[@eggybaby84]

This was an education, dig it.

[@Crimsonphilosophy]

Eye opening, I feel less ignorant hearing these people.

[@robbuckley1313]

The plantation stop was cool just imagine if those walls could talk!!!! The veteran talking was kind of painful as well, being a vet myself I am even terrified to even try to use the VA.

[@nancyharris4637]

Don’t shoot I’ll disappear

[@absurdinlife6657]

At 6:30 I cried :(

[@phfattack]

Sad to think about how many communities no longer have an economy outside of prisons, military bases, or hospitals.

[@stillbillful]

...nice!

[@ricardodiniz3005]

please come to brzil

[@montagedrift]

Damn Ghost Town

[@markhahn8012]

Nice video! (But where did you get 126 Instamatic film???)

[@willcorg1979]

Wonder how this man feels after Trumps speech today? Probably gave him a small glimpse of hope in the VA Healthcare? My wife had to intern in a VA hospital and said it was the worst thing she ever had to endure.

[@Frankod3lo]

spanish subtitles please!!!

[@nancyharris4637]

Don’t shoot me I’ll disappear

[@rloasby]

is his stripey top inside-out? Looks it. Do some washing, William. Don't resort to turning your clothes inside out to get another days wear!

It's sort of sick that these videos get 100x more views on Facebook. It's so sad that humanity is just shoveling their lives into an application they know nothing the origin of.

[@MichaelSkelton]

"...the way we impose on past generations the codes and mores...." in other words 'critical race theory' is trash (right on). I always felt this spirit pretty well embodied by the adage "Never judge a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes". Obviously this manner of thought is out of fashion in modern times where we it acceptable to encapsulate entire chapters of history through the lens of an 'instant take' and if we find those historical moments unappealing, we merely 'cancel' them, where that be tearing down a statue, removing books from libraries or online catalogues, remove street/building names, and so on. I hear this type of historical perspective is popular with ISIS; they've gotten pretty good at demolishing ancient temples and works of antiquity....
