I love the Smashing Pumpkins and I think Billy Corgan is a top-notch artist and all around brilliant human.
And I realize I didn't answer your question, but I am under no legal obligation to, so...
I liked Billy right up until he went on Joe Rogan and started pushing the vaccine.
Hahah Billy Corgan was an idiot, maybe still is. One of my favorite quotes of his, back when he was in the spotlight, he was asked about why he only hires female bass players. He said something like "I don't know, it just makes sense, there's something so laconic about the chick bass player". Dude thought he was a guitar god, shit was cringe.
He hates Maoists, SJWs, believes he was put on earth to make music, and owns a professional wrestling association.
What exactly is there to hate about him?
Didn't say I hate him, just that he was an idiot back when he was relevant, and maybe still is because I haven't kept up with him like you have. Maybe he outgrew being stupid, people often do that- a lot of celebrities smarten up when they become irrelevant. Lately, I think some do this intentionally to revive their flagging careers, but I don't know if that's Billy's thing.
A considered response.
