Oh, and for a guy that is used to playing venues where the patrons throw things it seems he wasn't man enough to handle some boos. Maybe if someone had thrown a Molson Canadian or a Labatt's Blue he would have felt more at home.
I've seen on on some late night talk shows and thought he was funny and real. Then I figure he sort of has to be a freak to have marrried Jolie. I think the life of a celebrity is pretty stressful. I couldn't do it. Freak and or out of line I don't know. But I always have a soft spot for people who have become a success in Hollywood without having been born to it. I haven't researched it but from what I remember he grew up super poor in OK or AR somewhere. Hunting for food, poopin in an outhouse kind of poor.

Billy Bob was born in Hot Spring, Arkansas, his dad was a history teacher and basketball coach ... he played baseball in high school and tried out for the Kansas City Royals ... got hurt and was cut. His grandfather was a forest ranger in Arkansas and he spent time there living in a shack.
His dad's name: Billy Ray
Brothers: Jimmy Don, Jim Bean, John David & Billy Bob
Can you see their mom calling them in for supper ... Jimmy Don... Jim Bean .... John Dave .... Billy Bob .... get in here right now and wash your hands! A short version of the Waltons.
Wow, he is a freak that doesn't know how good he has things. I almost felt sorry for the bandmates until it was their turn to play. They almost seemed bothered that they had to play. They should be thankful for the attention their 15 minutes is getting them. We probably all know more deserving acts that could use an opportunity like these fools are wasting.
How many people even knew he had a band ? How many knew he was touring with Willie Nelson? How many knew he had CDs out? Everyone does now. Mission accomplished. You couldnt PAY for that much publicity.

Unfortunately, it was accompanied by a lot of negative publicity, and as a result he was booed out of Canada and everyone things he's a loser.
Oh, I got the uncle/shack story but not the Walton life story. I wonder if he had poor relatives? Anyway, no Hollywood aristocratic royal pass it on thing.
I knew he had a band, actually it was a couple of years ago, maybe a different band? Again from a Letterman type show.
Did anybody see this? Bill Bob looks like a total passive aggressive jerk.

ohmygosh, I feel sooo sorry for the poor radio host!!! Billy Bob looks like he's coming down off of some 3 day bender or something that fried all his brain cells - he was a COMPLETE jerk. Even his bandmates looked terribly uncomfortable. Move over Joaquin Phoenix - you've got company in the loony bin!!
The radio host deserves a promotion for maintaining his cool and professionalism in light of this insanity. I would have turned to the other three and shunned this boor for the remainder of the interview.
