    More weird "star" behaviour

    Somethings not quite right here. Worse yet, the interviewer doesnt seem to know when to quit poking a bear with a stick.

    Jean Gomeshi handled that well, he was president of my university back in the day.

        ^^^^ That would have been more interesting!

        ...judging by the look on some of the bandmembers faces, they may have gone slingblade on Billy Bob after the show.

              What a doucebag!!!
              He should have just ignored him and talked to the rest of the band.

                Yeah, thats what I meant by poking the bear. I would have just ignored him, or went to commercial and pulled the plug on the interview off air. Still, the interviewer valiantly stuck to his guns throughout the whole mess even though he seems to be getting a little steamed himself. But man, if Thorntons pupils were any more dialated he wouldnt have any white left to his eyes....the guy was probably goofed up on something to start with.

                  Nothing wrong with Billy Bob mentally...he's just a pretentious court jester...nothing more, nothing less.

                    I just watched the entire interview.

                    Billy Bob is a pretentious jerk of the first degree.

                    He's also very unprofessional...dissing his own bandmates like that...refusing to play because it's so early in the morning.

                    If I was the DJ...I would've thrown his sorry azz out the door in a nano-second.

                      Billy Bob was either high or just being a diva. I liked this bit from the commentary on that page: "Has the whole world gone Joaquin Phoenix?" Next time my students start asking me questions I'm gonna act like that.

                        Billy Bob was trying to make a stand because the DJ "crossed the line"
                        and mentioned that he was an actor.

                        My take?

                        Yes, he's being a diva/difficult. Annnnd, I don't understand the "need"
                        to be like that. Apparently. this is a "choice" a guy like him makes
                        when things go this way....Oh well

                          Billy Bob Thornton's a joke!

                          First off, the interview took place on Gian Gomeshi's Talk Show. He's the host, and he's interviewing a band. Gomeshi has interviewed lots of REAL musicians, not just dilettantes like Billy-Boy. What really made this HILARIOUS is when he compares himself to Tom Petty! No, Gomeshi wouldn't say that to Petty because Tom Petty is a REAL musician!

                          Billy-Girl needs himself a Lassie-Slappin'.

                            If this is the attitude taken by Gomeshi and his fanbase, then maybe
                            Billy Bob DID have a point acting like that after all

                            Well...maybe not.... (ha)

                            but, more seriously, if an actor likes to perform music
                            and be an actor at the same he's gonna get a lot of such statements ^^^
                            thrown at him.

                            Now---the question is----how do you handle that if you're one of
                            "those guys"?

                            The answer is probably to be "less of a jerk" than how Billy Bob came off
                            in that interview

                              I've said it MANY times before, and I'll say it again:

                              Just say "NO!!!" to drugs!
