Lack Of Supportive Friendships And Conversation
Corgan explained that one of the biggest challenges of being a rockstar is the lack of friendship and conversation. “You travel around, you play your shows, and then everyone goes their separate ways,” he said. “It’s very rare that you have deep, meaningful conversations with people.”
This isolation can be compounded by the fact that, as Corgan explained, “a lot of times, you’re not really sure who your friends are.” He continued, “You have a lot of people who are just in it for the ride, and they’re not really interested in you as a person. They’re just interested in what you can do for them.”
As a result of all this, Corgan said that he often feels “very lonely” – even when he’s surrounded by people. “It’s a very strange existence,” he said. “You can be in a room full of people and still feel completely alone.”
