This is the first single of a major project by a major band, and has gotten glowingly positive reviews by significant publications. I am going to remove the notability tag. Zazaban (talk) 03:37, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The genre is obviously '70s style rock, so why is the gerne listed as alternative rock? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.220.205.230 (talk) 21:27, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Pretty much all rock from the last twenty years is referred to as alternative rock regardless of how it actually sounds. Zazaban (talk) 01:11, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

Since the article is relatively small, should we not just merge this one with the main album? --NotoriousTF (talk) 11:14, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Meaning of the song[edit]

I came across a supposed quote Corgan made in a video interview with spinner.com here:

“I think it’s got something to do about not having any kids and thinking about why I don’t have any kids. And then also kind of thinking about my relationship with my father — there’s some kind of connection there, but it’s not overt. I didn’t set out to write that, it just rolled out of me.”

I can't view the interview at the moment, but maybe someone wants to validate and include that? --NotoriousTF (talk) 11:36, 18 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
