Today's Cryptoquip Clue: V equals A CELEBRITY ASSOCIATED PRESS Billy Bob bites back about his band, the Boxmasters In a radio appearance reminiscent of David's Letterman's recent NEW YORK — Joaquin, you have competition. Thorton interview with actor-turned rapper Joaqun Phoenix, Billy Bob Thornton gave a puzzling and difficult interview Wednesday. Thornton appeared on the show with his band, the Boxmasters, who are on tour with Willie Nelson. When host Ian Ghomeshi asked Thornton when the band formed, Thornton said: "I don't know what you're talking about." Appearing on CBC radio, the Canadian public broadcaster, Thornton evaded simple questions and criticized the host for mentioning his movie background. Thornton mostly gave brief, sometimes monosyllabic, answers. Asked what music he listened to when he was young, Thornton spoke about reading the magazine Famous Monsters of Filmland. The actor took offense when Ghomeshi suggested he was passionate about music. "Would you say that to Tom Petty?" asked Thornton. Thornton eventually made it clear that he was angry with Ghomeshi for his introduction. Ghomeshi began the show introducing the band by focusing on their music and prodigious output in less than two years. He did, though, introduce Thornton as an "Oscar-winning screenwriter, actor and director" "You were instructed not to talk about ... like that," said Thornton, using an expletive. Ghomeshi, who's also in the band Moxy Fruvous, replied that he was "just giving context." The host said he was pleased to simply talk about music and pointed out Thornton's band was getting attention partially because of the career he's had.
