Friends of mine went to the Toronto show and said that about a dozen people brought packages of instant mashed potatoes and gravy and tossed them onto the front of the stage when the band was playing. Apparently the booing was also a lot worse and more obvious than the papers were making it seem.
I feel bad for the rest of the people in the band - they seem like legitimately nice guys and now their music is being overshadowed by BBT being an idiot. |

| For gawd's sake , he had a bad time with a rude announcer. The host promised him not to talk about his movie career and the very first statement was about his movie career. Some people do not take crap from people and apparently Mr. Thorton is one of those people. I actually respect that attitude. |

No, the announcer had a bad time with a rude guest.

| I heard a bit of it live, though I missed the beginning, and had no clue who was being interviewed. Thornton came off very surly and petulant, unlike the rest of the guys in the band. |

yeah i don't think you can watch the interview and say that the interviewer started off focusing on his movie career. i wanted to take billy bob's side on this because i think canadians are a sensitive nationalistic bunch and prone to fits of indignancy whenever an american says something mean about the country, but when i saw the interview, i have to say billy bob came across as cranky 5 year old and the interviewer was very professional. |

Just watched the interview.
The CBC radio host was very calm, tolerant, and professional. BBT came across as a total ASS.
His band mates, my guess, felt embarrassed and jumped in to kind of save the interview. Wonder if they had words with him after the interview.
By they way, has anyone seen the BBT video on Youtube, Angelina? I highly recommend it. aha!!
Enjoy: BBT's Angelina

| If he WASN'T a movie star he wouldn't be such a *beep* on the radio. If he wasn't a movie star he wouldn't get near the studio. He knows it. |

I think Billy Bob was justifiably upset and I think his reaction to the interview can be better understood when taking into consideration: 1) It was 6:ooam. 2) He wanted the interview to be based on his merits as a muscian, not on his merits as an Academy Award winning actor who is persuing his hobby. 3) The interviewer and producer violated his trust by mentioning his movie career.
For some musicians, music is something intensely personal and I think Billy Bob was reacting to the interviewer's violation of trust and implicit suggestion that music to Billy Bob was just a hobby.
