Billy Bob Thorton is a turd!

Ben and I watched Man on the Moon last night- the movie about Andy Kaufman. Seems like every time I see that movie I become obsessed with Andy and Google him for hours, watching videos, etc. In his time he was a comedic genius with the pranks he pulled- hell no one knows if he faked his own death or not, he was THAT persuasive. Anyway, the man had a talent and was one of a kind. Today on my YouTube journey into Andy's world, I came across a video of Billy Bob Thorton doing a radio interview with his band on a Canadian station. The dude is clearly either on something, is playing a bad prank or has turned into uber super asshole. It made me stop and think about celebrities these days. These idiots get paid massive amounts of money to promote themselves- their art and turn around just to act like total idiots. Don't they realize they would be NOTHING without their fans, the radio, the television, whatever else it is that builds them?! And then you had Andy who did not want to get rich, was doing it for ART and for nothing else, not even himself. He was one of a kind and it's sad we're stuck with the Billy Bob's and Joaquin Phoenix's' of today.

Andy would be so disappointed- unless of course Billy Bob is just channeling his inner Kaufman. Fat chance.
