Evidently actor/musician Billy Bob Thornton got a little peeved when the host of a Canadian radio show introduced him and his band the Boxmasters by first mentioning that he's an actor.
Thornton argued that it was agreed that the producer of the show was told not to have any references to Thornton's actor past, not that it's shady or anything to be ashamed of. The guy has got
What transpired soon after could be described as a "WTF" moment. Thornton half-responded to questions like his musical influences by bringing up a magazine about "film monsters" and mashed potatoes. The bizarre awkwardness, Thornton's gravelly voice and laconic behavior suggested a cowboy on codeine.
His band's pretty good though.

Apparently Billy Bob is unaware that if he were not "actor/director Billy Bob", they may not have gotten that level of coverage? He wants the interviewer to pretend that it's merely by the might of his musical prowess that they're on the show. I -was- going to look up his band, but now they can go pound sand. I don't want to listen to a band fronted by such a person.
ReplyDeleteI did'tn realize Billy Bob was such a pompous jackass - "mean people suck"? Relax - it's not all about you big guy.
