The Smashing Pumpkins are having a revival of sorts. They&rsquo;re in the middle of their RATS IN A CAGE tour commemorating 30 years since the release of their album Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness. With no less than four singles&mdash;Zero, Bullet With Butterfly Wings, Tonight Tonight and 1979&mdash;Mellon Collie was an absolute phenomenon when it was released. 30 years later and Corgan and the Pumpkins are enjoying a true resurgence of interest from young fans, a rededication from long-time fans and if not a full critical reassessment of the band&rsquo;s legacy, at least an acceptance that The Pumpkins are a band that we&rsquo;ll always have to contend with when discussing the alternative music surge of the 1990s. As for Corgan, he&rsquo;s never sat patiently waiting for a new peak. Instead he&rsquo;s spent the last few decades exploring seemingly&nbsp;any interest: owning the National Wrestling Alliance / NWA and a contract with TNA wrestling, an outspoken advocate of free speech through appearances on InfoWars, Joe Rogan and Bill Maher&rsquo;s show. He also has his own podcast &ldquo;The Magnificent Others&rdquo; that&rsquo;s a part of Bill Maher&rsquo;s Club Random podcast network.
