Billy Corgan: John Mayer 'Trying to Destroy his Career'

Rolling Stone reported that although Billy Corgan nor Jessica Simpson have announced the status of their relationship, he did speak on John Mayer's verbal faux-pas against Simpson. http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2010/03/11/billy-corgan-...

"Rather than take a year off or change his musical direction… some part of it is irritating his soul to the point where he's trying to blow it up. Certainly a talented guy, but empathetically, standing on the sidelines, it's hard to watch someone literally burn their career to the ground — speaking as somebody who's done it."

Corgan believes Mayer is determined to kill his successful career with blunt commentary in his interviews. As far as the Simpson "sexual napalm" comments, Corgan says: "I think for any person who has celebrity to sort of drop rocks at somebody else's feet like that — there's things you should really just keep your mouths shut on. There's things that should just be left alone."
