I think that is the whole point summed up. Billy Bob's little band wouldn't have much notoriety if not for his acting background. To get his nose out of joint at a pretty minor mention of it despite what he wished, is unrealistic.....almost as unrealistic as comparing himself to Tom Petty and mentioning that he is a musical historian as if that counts for something.
I liked the guy....but he lost me as a fan when he tried to make the small market radio host look smaller. Never mind the jabs at Canada.
I saw Willie Nelson last month sans Billy Bob's band. The crowd was quite a mix. But no one was throwing anything that is for sure. Pretty tame crowd actually (might have been the massive bats everyone was smoking).
Eff off Billy.
