John Mayer’s wacked-out interview in which he called Jessica Simpson “sexual napalm” is a not-so-subtle attempt to blow up his career. So says Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, who knows a little something about self-destructive behavior. “He’s trying to destroy his career,” Corgan, 42, tells Rolling Stone in an interview. “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.” Mayer, 32, has apologized repeatedly for the interview in which he kissed-and-tattled about Simpson, called his penis a white supremecist, discussed his love of porn and threw around the N-word.
