maybe he kept it shaved because of baldness, but I've never seen any pics to indicate that he was going bald before shaving his head.

Lyrically William Corgan was smoother than a Cobalt commercial. He was pretty darn iconalistc.

OK, my first question is:

Who the hell is Billy Corgan?

Lead singer for Smashing Pumpkins.

Sarcasm much.


Not sarcasm, I really had no idea who he was. I have heard the band, just never cared what their names were.

what i've heard is that billy corgan has alopecia (spelling?). this is a condition where you loose your body hair. you could see it was already patchy in the siamese dream days, but he kinda combed over the balding spots. so basically, yeah he shaves it because he is balding. he's not the only rocker to do this, either (joe satriani is another example).

alopecia is just the fancy medical name for going bald.

after mellon collie everything he wrote started sucking.
 

I think the Zero video was the last one he did with hair. He was losing it. Let's put it this way, no white guys shave their heads completely because it looks good.
