A) The only people that call other people sellouts are either just jealous or broke bitches.

B) I would be honored to have a song I wrote in a commercial being voiced by Morgan Freeman.

i don't think it's cuz they're jealous, there is an interview here on youtube where billy says he will never ever ever put his music into commercials cuz SP's music means so much to so many people, and he'll protect that. but i think Virgin used the song without his permission. i read D'arcy and Iha are suing virgin for this commercial, i think. but anyways, u can find that vid i was talking about by searching "billy corgan protecting music"

i dont know why everyone is calling him a sellout. this commercial could have paid for this album that will be released soon for free.

haha yeah saw this on Tv the other day, and thought that exactly.

I think they missed the context of the lyrics.

if you went to see the pumpkins in nottingham uk after following them for so long and then have william walk off stage because the place wasn't sold out you would think he was a twat as well. axel rose has more manners. i met both of them over the years. hey billy wanna buy all the vinyls you ever released cause i got them all in the attic. twatbag

i don't get you people. if you want to have a career as a musician, you have to make money. Just like any other job. Personally, I think he might have been trying to fund this new 44 song double album, so no one should be complaining that he's making money, especially since this album is gonna be for free.
