“Would you say that to Tom Petty?”

Music Definitely not Film.



The AV Club highlights some notoriously difficult interviewees introducing me to this clip of Billy Bob Thornton who it turns out isn't a morning person:

in an infamous 2009 Canadian radio round-table with the other members of his band, The Boxmasters, he eclipsed his previous reputation as a weird, random interview subject in favor of a rep as a spiteful, egocentric, childish one. Irked that interviewer Jian Ghomeshi mentioned Thornton’s acting career in the introduction, Thornton stonewalled him on basic questions like “When did the band form?” and “You didn’t love music when you were a kid?,” offering belligerent refusals, profanity, and deliberate irrelevancies, then abruptly asking, “Would you say that to Tom Petty?”

Personally, I'm thrown by the fact one of the band members is called Danny Baker. Ahoy and indeed ahoy.
