Despite the station contributing to the rise of The Smashing Pumpkins, Billy Corgan gave a rather honest appraisal of the demise of Q101 during an interview with Greg Kot last night on Chicago Live!.

While we've given the man a fair amount of grief it's refreshing to hear someone else not only not eulogize the decline of alt-rock radio, but rail against the nostalgia cash-ins of '90s revivalism. Corgan also addressed the changing line-up of The Smashing Pumpkins and his decision to keep the "band" together instead of going under his own name as a solo act. And for once he doesn't come off as a total jerk while, surprisingly, making total sense!
