AN OUTSIDER could possibly argue there is something inherently tragic about Billy Corgan in 2010.
As the bandleader and chief songwriter of the Smashing Pumpkins, Corgan was a determining 1990s figure during the most vital period of modern rock. Yet although the grunge era produced many immense records, much of it was underpinned by a slacker ethos that sits awkwardly with Corgan.
He was, and relics, an obsessive control freak and workaholic with an ludicrously deep-seated self-belief in his music.
