Interesting story and video of Billy Bob Thorton acting like a fucking cunt.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJWS6qyy7bw
Billy Bob accused the interviewer of focusing on his film career, however I thought the host did an okay job of mentioning who he was then moving onto the band and music they make. The mentioning of who he was is only context to why people might care to listen about this band, otherwise they're an obscure and unknown band (thruthiness).
The host tried to move forward but Thorton wouldn't let the interview progress. Even when the host asked Billy Bob about where his love of music came from, he still couldn't offer a real answer. It was obvious that he was going to be a dick from the get go, so the host let Thorton cool off before asking him another question. I appreciated the host showing respect to his other band mates by looking at them directly and talking to them when Thorton wouldn't engage himself in the conversation. The band then decided to let the most socially awkward guy talk who offered about as much context as my pinky finger. I've seen interviews where the star of the band hogs all the attention, but this usually isn't because of the host it's because that particular person controls all the attention in the room.
Not sure how you feel about this, but the video for better or worse is fucking epic. I didn't appreciate the Canada slams either, but then again he is a self proclaimed hillbilly.
