The New Billy Bob

To continue with a previous story, Billy Bob Thornton last night had his first television appearance since the infamous "mashed potatoes but no gravy" incident on CBC radio.

Billy Bob was an entirely different person, laughing, joking, and generally being responsive and coherent with Late Night host Jimmy Kimmell.

My general feeling about the whole situation is that you shouldn't use your fame selectively to promote your band. He doesn't want his fame to be mentioned on CBC radio, but then appears as Billy Bob Thornton the Actor on Jimmy Kimmel to promote his band. You can't have it both ways.

And maybe you shouldn't get to set rules going into interviews if the only reason your band got the interview is because you are Billy Bob Thornton. The way I see it, granting the no-name BoxMasters a band interview is and will always be a favour to Billy Bob Thornton the Actor.

I hope he understands that, otherwise he is a fucking loon.
