On my radar: Billy Corgan's cultural highlights
Briefly

I went with my son, who's eight, to the local arthouse. It's about a boy who loses his mother quite young, which certainly touched me because, in a way, I lost my mother when I was four... Sometimes it takes a child to tell you that the truth is right in front of you. It was a beautiful moment between my son and I.
I recently saw a performance of this with Enrique Mazzola as the conductor... When you're standing in front of one of the all-time greats, listening to seven different melodies and polyphony it's a level of genius I can't even contemplate, much less emulate. It's a humbling experience.
