Jim DeRogatis, a Chicago Sun-Times music journalist and Sound Opinions co-host, has always been the Smashing Pumpkins' biggest troll. As Flavorpill points out, DeRogatis wrote an unfavorable review of the band's Siamese Dream album in '93, comparing it to "sophomoric poetry." Corgan retorted that Jim was a "fat f---."DeRogatis is no longer invited to any Pumpkins shows, but that hasn't stopped the writer from continuously trashing Corgan in the press.
