  • Summary

  • In 1992, Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins wrote what might very well be the most upbeat song about hopelessness and hitting rock bottom: "Today." Many look no further than the opening line "Today is the greatest day I've ever known," but dig deeper and the dark undertones are undeniable. This is the story and the history of the song, and how it came from an incredibly bleak period in the life of the famed frontman.

    This episode of Poetic Wax digs deep, exploring the period between The Smashing Pumpkins first two releases. Gish in 1991 and Siamese Dream in 1993.
