I listened to this live on the way to work on the radio. It was surreal. What an immense, egotistical asshole. Now, looking at the video, I feel so sorry for the band. The pain, right from the outset, is highly evident on their faces.

hilarious.

way to earn respect!

Plan A: control the language in order to dominate the debate.

This is strange, because I've seen a couple of interviews with him on the Late Late Show, in which he had no problem talking about both his musical and cinematic careers.

Must have been his mood. And by 'mood' I mean 'liquor'.

What a baby. Much respect to Gomeshi for handling it with patient professionalism - the urge to respond in kind must have been overwhelming. BillyBob even made disrespect to Canadian audiences! What a complete ass. If it weren't for Willy, no one would see these guys.

Hmm, was going to argue against 1sttube because this was originally on radio rather than TV, but then, it aired everywhere like on CNN after, so *news too.

Agreed, I call *drugs.

I love the fact his tour got canceled because of this fiasco - epic.

Adding video to channels (Drugs, News) - requested by Krupo.

The "mashed potatos and gravy" thing is like at 12:04... part of the contribution to the cancellation some say? Or just being completely whacked out, I guess.
