Bitter Bob Thornton
Maybe this is just what the down side of stardom looks like.
You know, when you’re bitter at the world because no one cares about your loser “celebrity band” and you have to wake up every morning knowing there was once a time … way back when … when you were a successful actor who was stone cold enough to have Angelina Jolie tattoo your name on her body?
Willingly, people.
Anyway, such is the miserable existence of Hollywood ACTOR turned musician (and Jolie-ex) Billy Bob Thornton, who is such a little bitch in this interview that you seriously have to ask yourself if he deserves to continue sucking up any more of your oxygen …
What’s ironic is that this radio host actually goes out of his way in the minutes leading up to Billy Bob’s bitchfest (it starts getting really good around the 7:00 mark) to talk to these guys like actual musicians, and that Thornton’s infantile outburst only serves to highlight the very thing he is making such a stink about wanting to avoid.
Personally, our favorite part is the 9:30 mark when he derisively asks the interviewer “you wouldn’t say that to Tom Petty would you?”
Good Lord.
Oh, and it’s also funny to watch the pained looks on the faces of his band mates at the 9:08 mark. Seriously, they look like they want to strangle the asshole, and with good reason.
Look, folks. Billy Bob Thornton is famous for two things – talking like a retard in Slingblade and dating Angelina Jolie.
That’s it.

A Tool acting like a Tool – imagine that… A complete publicity stunt that got him hours of free air time yesterday and today on the national news between Obama bowing to Sheik ShishKabob and the Navy’s surrender to Somali Pirates.

Billy Bob,
I’m sorry that the truth hurts your feelings. If you were any jo schmo playing drums for a rock-a-billy band you wouldn’t be opening for Willie Nelson. You’re delusional if you think that your music got you that gig. And, by the way, the Tom Petty reference is ridiculous. First, Tom got famous playing music, you didn’t. Second, and here comes some truth again, face it, you’re no Tom Petty. I know at least a hundred musicians that have twice your talent that will never make any money in a career in music. If any of them had an ocsar, they’d be doing the same thing you are sans the douchiness. So, if you want to play music fine. If you think of yourself as talented as Tom Petty in your own mind, fine. But here’s the kicker, don’t act like a big-ass elephant isn’t in the room when it is. I’m sorry if you’re worried that the rest of the world will notice the elephant, but its a fuggin elephant ok, they’re hard to miss.
