Would you interview Dwight Yoakam and only ask him about his acting career? That would be completely ridiculous.

BBT was totally out of line. If you check the blog response to this episode (http://www.cbc.ca/q/blog/2009/04/vanity_project_or_renaissance.html) you can see thousands of people who agree and I don't think there is one standing by poor Billy. It's sad when ego dwarfs talent. CM Loved this. BBT was totally out of line.

If you have been subjected to listening to the crap his band, Boxmasters, has put out, you'd be thankful that he'd cancelled his Canadian dates due to "the flu." Perhaps I'm too jaded to judge the band, as I am no fan of 1950s-1960s country music, or any country music for that matter, but what I'd heard was just plain awful. Think really old country played by a really bad "garage" band. For BBT to be so callous & rude during the interview was totally unwarranted & maybe he was trying to play up a "too cool for school" attitude or a mysterious & intriguing persona with his not answering easy & lighthearted questions, but all he did was come across as a pompous A-hole. Too bad Jian didn't come right out & say: "dude, your music sucks & you're a d*ck, LEAVE!" Is there anyone out there who thinks BBT is a great musician & has the right to treat those who are trying to help promote his band like crap? I hope not. He should just slink back to his mansions & take up gardening. Billy Bob Thornton is even less useful than a used douche, he’s a douche nozzle!
