Modbilly? Billy Bob Thorton on CBC

[J. Garbage]

he's faking it, and it's hilarious.

In a situation like this, what's the difference between pretending to be a huge asshole and really being a huge asshole?

Exactly.

I would have stopped the interview and started asking the most exploitative questions about Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston I could think of.  If he'd gotten up to leave or to fight me, I would've pulled out a gun and said, "SIT DOWN AND ANSWER MY QUESTIONS, MOTHAFUCKA!"

I bet Billy Bob wouldn't be expecting that response, especially from a Canadian.

I thought he should have just kept feeding Billybob 'Music Historian' Thorton classic monster model kit questions and never mention the Boxmasters name again.

The trio was the opening act for Nelson until they were loudly booed in Toronto, a day after the actor-musician's bizarre interview with a CBC radio host. Ironically, the comments that offended Canadians included Thornton's assessment that they were "very reserved" and "it doesn't matter what you say to them."

"It's mashed potatoes with no gravy," Thornton told CBC host Jian Ghomeshi.

"We tend to play places where people throw things at each other and here they just sort of sit there," he said.

The audience at Thursday night's show in Toronto loudly booed the Boxmasters, with some shouts of "Here comes the gravy!"
