At first I thought he was high but then towards the end I realized he's just a dick.

You hit the nail on the head. At first, I thought he was an Alzheimer's victim, but now think he's a douche or a pathetic combination of both.

Can you imagine being the radio show host?

Or Christian Bale?

"Would you ask that question to Tom Petty?" Uh, actually yeah, when interviewing Tom Petty about one of the few movies he made. What an idiot. Anyway, their Canadian tour was cancelled today after he was continuously heckled on stage. Yay Canada!

How much plastic surgery do you think he got after Swing Blade? He looks like an entirely different person now (not a great photo): http://www.billybobthornton.net/film swingblade.htm

He's an idiot and I'm glad there were negative repercussions to his actions.

Can't tell if he's just wacked out on weed or he's just trying to be funny(but it says his publicist released the statement so she either couldn't talk him out of releasing it or she's as nutty as him).

Awesome.

I think this album review summarizes the whole Boxmasters project pretty well:

Boxmasters works neither as parody nor homage. It doesn’t even really work as a vanity project. This is a record where the performers have infinitely more fun than the listeners. The Boxmasters are like a couple guys knocking back brewskis and having an impromptu drunken jam session: pleasant for them, but for any non-friends listening in, off-putting and insufferable. And whatever its rhyme or reason, the music produced is largely horrible, little more than an obnoxious novelty unworthy of a second listen or even a second thought.

Billy Bob Thornton's band cancels Canadian tour (AP)

TORONTO - Billy Bob Thornton's band has canceled the rest of its Canadian tour after the actor compared the country's fans to mashed potatoes with no gravy in a testy interview that caused a sensation online.

The Boxmasters opened for Willie Nelson on Thursday in Toronto , where they reportedly were booed and met with catcalls of "Here comes the gravy."

A note posted on Nelson's Web site Friday said the Boxmasters were canceling the rest of their Canadian dates "due to one band member and several of the crew having the flu."

The cancellation came two days after Thornton made world headlines with a belligerent appearance on CBC radio's "Q."

The actor apparently didn't like that host Jian Ghomeshi started the interview with references to Thornton's Hollywood career.

Thornton refused to answer many of Ghomeshi's questions directly, mumbling: "I don't know what you're talking about." He later said Ghomeshi's producers had been told ahead of time not to talk about his film career.

Thornton also had some unkind words for Canadian crowds.

"Canadian audiences seem to be very reserved," he told Ghomeshi. "We tend to play places where people throw things at each other. Here, they just sort of sit there. And it doesn't matter what you say to 'em. ... It's mashed potatoes but no gravy."

Before his Thursday night gig, Thornton tried to clarify those remarks, saying he loved Canada and his "mashed potatoes" comment had been aimed at Ghomeshi.

Media around the world delighted in the story. Entertainment Weekly's Web site ran the headline, " Billy Bob Thornton : What's his problem?"

That DJ was absolutely professional. He did nothing wrong, was never out of line...he didn't deserve what Thornton was giving him.

and that he is is a dick also

He's just bitter because Angelina and her hypnotic vagina are no longer his. It made him lose his damn mind. End of story
