If Billy Bob Thornton and Mike Bolton (from Office Space) had a love child.

I'd love to see John Cusack & Billy Bob Thornton stand in the wake turbulence of that landing!

This video is private. Billy Bob Thornton is great in this.

RIP George Thornton

Soul Train's Legacy
I’m seeing a lot of people talk and write about Don Cornelius passing but do not seem to comprehend the legacy Don Cornelius established while he was here with us. Don Cornelius was a pioneer who built a Black empowerment framework that was also an economic engine and knew exactly what he was doing and succeeded. As a fellow Chicago native who knows my people, know and respect those who came before me and appreciate the path they shaped for me and you to move forward, we are going to discuss Don Cornelius legacy and contribution.
Don Cornelius is from Chicago and was definitely someone who grew up with love for his people. You can check his history where he was straight hustling to get his in the Chi before joining WVON radio in the 60s. WVON means Voice of the Negro in case you didn’t know broadcasted to the Black community back then. Martin Luther King Jr. would appear regularly on WVON and most likely Don Cornelius was inspired by his presence as well as the fact he broadcasted for his people. He also carried this on television at WCIU where Soul Train got it start:

However, the late sixties was a beautiful time for brothas and sistas as we became united. More people were moving from the South up North to Chicago and cats were establishing themselves and their identity as Black. Don Cornelius was throwing parties all around Chicago as a party promoter and this is where he wanted to promote a television show and used his media industry connects to host Soul Train in Chicago.
Now Soul Train blew up and Don Cornelius moved the show out to Los Angeles for a bigger audience. Now here is where we have to take a break because this is the moment of truth. When some of us brothas or sistas make it big, what do we do? Most of us start acting like we don’t know our Black people anymore and start trying to go “mainstream” hoping to reach a bigger audience. But Don Cornelius not only kept his show Black-orientated, he pioneered Black media as we know it today and built a Black economic framework upon his success.
Soul Train was not some dance show, it was a framework that Don Cornelius used to promote his people and promote peace, love and soul in the core essence. Let’s look at each element of the Soul Train show:.................


Lest we forget another pioneer's passing this month, Johnny Otis passed, with him a lifetime-legacy of promoting the struggle of black entertainers. Producer, musician, talent scout, DJ, pastor...Son of Greek immigrants, he identified with the black culture during the civil rights era, and got black-listed on many fronts for his outspoken support of the struggle. little Esther, Big Mama Thornton, Jay McNeely, he discovered and promoted some of the best talent during the heyday of rhythm and blues.

So *this* is what Billy Bob Thornton has been up to lately.

Fink @Wikipedia
Fink, AKA Fin Greenall, is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, producer and DJ from St. Ives, currently based in Brighton. Since 2006, the name Fink has also referred to the recording and touring trio fronted by Greenall himself, completed by Guy Whittaker (bass) and Tim Thornton (drums). Fink is signed to independent record label Ninja Tune Records. Greenall is also a sought-after songwriter for other artists, having most recently written for John Legend, and Ximena Sarinana.

Those MRI pictures look like something Billy Bob Thornton would have on his walls.

Anybody know that closing song?


According to the track ID on my phone
"I can see a rainbow"
Cool wise men featuring Eddie Tantan Thornton.
East meets West
2008

However, their original is this so i'm thinking that song was just created for this video.

0:57 looks like something only Billy-Bob Thornton would enjoy.

Now, with subtext: http://www.videosift.com/video/CBC-Q-s-Billy-Bob-Thornton-Interview-Subtext

Not sure, but I think somewhere in the thick of it all is that Joaquin Phoenix was actually interviewing Billy Bob Thornton. Not the other way around!

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.

>> ^EDD:
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'.


Agreed, I call *drugs.

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