English is credited, at least by [[James Iha]] and [[D'arcy Wretzky]], as coming up with the band's name.<ref>https://www.starla.org/articles/dares.htm</ref> Not much more is known about him, though he was also Corgan's roommate during (at a minimum) the writing of [[Siamese Dream|''Siamese Dream'']]. English and Corgan had a falling out somewhere near the end of the [[Rock_Invasion_tour|''Rock Invasion'' tour]] and Corgan has generally spoken disparagingly of him since then. | |||
