Everyone needs to quit hating. Just because he is comfortable saying what is on his mind does not make him a bad person. Everyone thinks they can bash someone who has worked hard to get where he is and do what he does. It does not make them any better o judge, it really makes them hypocritical. Keep doing what you do Billy Bob, you and your band are some of the most laid back people I have had the pleasure of meeting.
Humpback geek? Would you call Tom Petty that name?
Billy Bob THorton is a dried-up rhymes-with-shunt.
tom petty wouldn’t call me a “humpback geek”, billy bob.
what new douchebaggery is this?
I guess Jimmie Kimmel’s producers were told the same thing. He was obviously warned regarding “subject”. Hey BBT are you from Texas. If yes, then I understand why you are so ignorant.
what a weak *ss. somebody mentions you’re an actor and you sulk in the corner like a spoiled brat cause you wanna be a “real musician.” Pathetic Dylan/Petty wannabe *sshole. Must we all have to suffer your midlife crisis! That venus metal plate sh*t wasn’t even witty you b*stard. There, I’m done.
I think Billy is the man. Billy its great that you stood up to all these sheep. Look how so many Canadians are responding to this. It disgusts me being Canadian myself, Most Canadians are open minded people Billy, dont judge us for a few humpback geeks. I would have done the same thing. A promise is a promise. You people with negative comments ever hear “if you have nothing good to say, then dont say it?” well it applies here. Notice the host says he was never explicitly told not to talk about it. See the true meaning, he was told not to talk about it but he has to be told explicitly? So I guess Billy told you dont talk about his acting career, the host said yes i wont talk about it and in the back of his mind he is thinking, well Billy you never explicitly said not to talk about it so to me that means I can talk about it? Horrible logic, thats shows you one thing, never trust anything the media tells you. I guess next time Billy you need to get it in writing.
This guy’s elevator doesn’t reach the top floor.
The bottom line is that he is narcissistic, which is a very unflattering quality.
What a douchebag! I think the DJ handled it very well. He could have been a jerk right back but he took the high road and made BBT look even worse.
Not sure what all the hating is about here… Why was it newsworthy – good question? Just to mention, Billy Bob is actually friends with Tom, and Tom’s friends. They hang out, play softball, what have you… and there’s a chance either one of them may call one another any number of “names”, including “humpback geek”, e’en tho BBT is likely aware that Tom has little techno savvy and is hardly a geek.
(Spoken as a longtime TP&HB fan with much familiarity on all things Petty, if you doubt me do some fact checking online, or borrow “Conversations with Tom Petty”, by Paul Zollo from a library.
Billy Bob may seem arrogant to some of you, but isn’t there a chance you are taking him a bit too seriously?
Interesting post and view, hope to hear more what the future holds THANKS Great post. Probably saved thousands of hours between everybody here. For me,this clearly is a heads up on which methods to focus on to maximise my online success . IĄŻll start concentrating on your other articles instead. Really great advice. Thanks for sharing.
