Train Wrecks
Canada to Billy Bob: No Thank You

Billy Bob ThortonBilly Bob Thornton should have known better -- being impolite doesn't fly for Canadians.

The actor "musician" and his band, The Boxmasters, have canceled their last two Canadian tour dates with Willie Nelson following Billy Bob's now-infamous radio rant of d-bag awesomeness, according to an announcement on Willie's website.

But Billy Bob didn't just end his hissy fit in the studio. Apparently he went on stage later that night, in front of an all-Canadian audience, and called his interviewer an "asshole"... for, you know, asking Billy Bob questions.

The canceled shows might stem from the fact that Billy Bob said Canadian audiences were boring ... or because actors are usually terrible at playing music.

He's just lucky he was in Canada and not some scarier, less-Canadian country.

47. first of all he appeared on the CBC radio's "Q." and the producers had been told ahead of time not to talk about his film career. They disrespect him from the start by not following the rules. They kept asking him about his film career. He was there to to talk about his music. They are aholes for that.

49. Canceling shows is one thing, but copping out and saying someone has the flu is pure pussy. Any REAL musician has gotten booed and played to small crowds...deal with it. You are a WIG WEARING PUSSY. Willie and Ray were dumb to take him with them in the first place. Maybe he was carrying the weed.
I repeat....YOU ARE A WIG WEARING NO-TALENT PUSSY. Oh and your "band" blows goats.

51. Come on...it's Canada...that big chunk of dirt to the north, with their fake dollars and funny accents...have we even let them become a real country yet? - I'll have to investigate...in the meantime, I'll senf them a U.S. flag, so they can feel important.

Please-do send me a flag.I can use it to wipe my dog's paws after she's been out. Better yet, cut it into strips as emergency toilet paper.

Now run along and finish coloring your picture.....use the blue crayon today.

52. Billy Bob and Britney combined don't have one tenth the talent of Bubbles from the Trailer Park Boys which ironically is where both these hicks reside spiritually. Just saying .....

54. all i can say is don't come back to canada billy bob .

55. NOw make sure that Canadian who lives in the States but hates and writes of his hatred for the States, Neil Young, doesnt invite him to Farm Aid given Willie Nelson is he co sponsor of that Event. It would be just like Young to do something like that...the guy ought to take a break on preaching about Obama, and Electric Cars and Shut UP and Sing.

Keep Billy Bob out of Farm Aid Neil...and if you hate America so much why do you live here? I heard theres plenty of open space up in Manitoba.

56. Just to let people know, for the most part Canadians are nice people...we generally get along with everyone, that's why we are liked around the world.We DO tend to get a bit pissed when a No Good Hillbilly 4th rate singer insults us in our own country! Hopefully Canada Customs searched BBT for drugs because he was obviously doing some during the interview...BEND OVER AND SAY EH BILLY!!!!!

57. lol! who cares? he sucks anyway hes no musician he just acts like one. and badly i might add. its not that canadian audiences are boring, billy bob is. i have a friend who works at the studio and i hear he was an asshole from the get go. the general conclusion is maybe he was pissed off that he didnt get attention he felt he deserved. and the reason why is because canadians could care less about him. so really who cares that he canceled some dates? hes an opener for willie nelson for gods sake, hes the low man on the totem pole! stupid band name too.
