Billy Bob Thornton = D*ck

Of the five vowels in the alphabet, which one did you think was replaced by the asterisk in this title? I'm sure the title doesn't equate to Billy Bob Thornton being a 'deck' or a 'dock' or a 'duck,' or, for that matter, a 'dack.'

No, Mr. Thornton was simply a dick doing the same dick things that I hear Hollywood types do when they reach out to the public medium but I usually turn a blind eye or death ear to. No, Mr. Thornton just embodied the Hollywood dick without any hitches or consolations contained when he appeared on a Canadian radio talk show with his band the Boxmasters.

Mr. French Fried Pataters had the gall to expect the interviewer, who so eloquently and patiently explained his line of question to the "actor," to only ask questions about him being a musician. First of all, when you think of Billy Bob Thornton, what is the first thing that comes to mind? Hm? Actor? Yes. Crazy redneck who wore Angelina Jolie's blood around his neck? Maybe. Musician? Just about third or fourth down on the list.

Second, Mr. Thornton acted like his "requests" to move along his line of questioning was pre-ordained as if he was Jesus Christ. You, sir, are no Jesus Christ. You won only one Oscar and that was for writing. You were in freakin' Mr. Woodcock and School for Scoundrels and Armageddon and The Astronaut Farmer. Nothing says "down to earth" and "home grown" then redneck premadonna.
