Billy Bob Thornton

I'm not sure I can find the words to describe this interview. Would he even have a recording contract if it wasn't for his Hollywood career? The Magic 8 Ball says "Not likely!" What's next? The typical ego-driven career flow chart is actor/director>singer (see Golden Throats)>poet/novelist>painter.

It got his name in the papers, didn't it?

Well, they dropped outta the tour due to the "flu".

Spine Flu, with verbal diarrhea?

He should stick to acting. Really.

Agreed Matthew! All I can say is he isn't the first (and won't be the last) Hollywooder to assume their talent translates to other medium(s).

Wow. Just wow. Someone needs to stop smoking crack cocaine. You can just see the other band members thinking "oh geez, not again." Billy Bob must put up the money for all their stuff. That's the only reason they must keep him around.

Music is 90% politics. If you don't ken that, another line of work will be more suitable.

My thought is he's got one hell of a fragile ego and doesn't want his acting career to overshadow his hobby (hobby=music) The guy can’t seem to get what he wants in a public forum, and he’s so frightened that listeners are putting down his music that he made this interview into a over blown event that quite frankly must have been awfully embarrasing to deal with once the press had their heyday with it.
