Why, oh why do celebrities think that because they are celebrities they can do and say whatever they want?  The latest start to fall head over ego off of the PR wagon is Billy Bob Thornton, whose appearance on Canada’s CBC Radio program Q yesterday was weird, obnoxious and arrogant.

Thornton, there to discuss his band The Boxmasters, actually refused to answer ANY questions, sticking mostly with I don’t know what you mean.  And really, the questions weren’t all that hard.  If you are in a band and someone asks you how long said band has been together, you really should have a rough idea. 

Host Jian Ghomeshi, himself a musician who was in Canadian band Moxy Fruvous, did a pretty good job of being polite, even when Thornton wasn’t.

Oh and Billy Bob?  If you are on a Canadian show promoting your music, you shouldn’t really say Canada is like mashed potatoes without gravy .

I’m just saying.
