  "textContent": "Last December on his _The Magnificent Others_ podcast, Billy Corgan shared some insights about the apparent dark inner workings of the music industry. The Smashing Pumpkins bandleader claimed that George W. Bush’s White House tried to enlist him in an influence campaign and hinted at a conspiracy to sideline rock music's impact in the culture. This episode was a conversation with Conrad Flynn, the occult historian who went viral in certain corners for referencing Nurse With Wound on  _The Tucker Carlson Show_ a couple of months earlier.\n\nThe post Billy Corgan Claims Rock Was Deliberately Marginalized — Joseph Kahn Argues Political Correctness Killed It appeared first on Stereogum.",
