Transcript here. I also loved the way the interviewer handled this. He called Thornton on his bullshit but still managed to maintain his cool the whole time. Guy's a pro.
I am not a fan of Jian normally, but yeah, he kinda did keep that together. I kept wishing that he'd remind the jerk that ALL OF HIS QUESTIONS WERE ABOUT MUSIC.
Back on topic, I was rather impressed at how much Jian kept the interview on the rails despite Billy Bob's behavior. In the end, it seemed like Jian had mollified Billy Bob to the point of civility which was quite a feat.
1. make passing note of how completlyoutofit Billy Bob was? OR
2. say what a fan I am now of whoever did that interview - total class, total control, and it was still listenable! OR
3. start taking bets on how fast the other members of the Boxmasters will decide unanimously to ditch Billy Bob's dead ass at the next Willie gig, preferably in Armpit, Arkansas?
still and all, Mod plus Hillbilly sounds like it'd be awesome.
damn, he's aged a lot lately. That rock and roll lifestyle, I guess.
(there's a bartender in town my friends and I all call Billy Bob Bartender since he looks like him, bad santa era. the bartender is aging better. If you are aging more rapidly than someone who works at a dive bar known for it's semi-illegal bathroom setup, overall flith, disregard for smoking laws, and blind eye to drug dealing, you are doing something Very Wrong.)
