Default does billy corgan have any good qualities?

genuine question

cons, too many to mention (egotistical, pompous, pretentious, jealous, whiney, combative, hypersensitive, bitter, conniving, etc)

pros, he made some good music quarter century ago

i admire that he occasionally does really bizarre amateurish side projects like Siddhartha

he obviously has no idea what he's doing but like whatever it's an experiment, it's not the next siamese dream

the last twelve albums or so haven't been the next siamese dream either

Pro: his commitment to historic preservation of Chicago buildings and neighborhoods.

That was 20 years ago, tho. Maybe Highland Park B0lly now thinks land speculation is a respectable trade. And a sustainable business.

I've met him on four different occasions. On one, he was cool. On the other three, he ranged from nice to amicable. I know lots of people have had bad run-ins with him, but I think you gotta know what you're getting into otherwise, much like when you pizza when you should taco, you're gonna have a bad time.

As a musician he seems to do what he wants, which is cool, even if it sucks sometimes.

The con with that is he then bitches that it’s not universally acclaimed rather than going the Rivers Cuomo route of “lol”

He's community-centered and charitable. Wasn't a large portion of the Adore tour proceeds donated?

He's a big advocate for animal rights and tries to bring out locals to Madame ZuZu's, as lame as they may be, at least he makes the effort
