After the infamous interview with Jian Ghomeshi, Billy Bob's was booed and jeered at by the Canadian crowd - the crowd he deemed was like 'mashed potatoes without gravy." Putting on a major pout session, he and his band have pulled out of the rest of their Canadian tour with Willy Nelson claiming that one of their members and some crew have come down with the flu. So they flu home - get it, flu home, flew home? Ahh, I love it!
But honestly, if Billy Bob had enough balls to act the way he did on the radio and with Jian Ghomeshi why isn't he just honest is saying that he now despises Canadian crowds, hates the CBC and wants to quit the Canadian part of the tour? I'm surprised they used the flu excuse. He probably thought that nobody listens to the CBC, let alone a little show called Q, and never expected this thing to go beyond the Greater Toronto Area. In reality, it went globally and quite quickly. Welcome to the new media age Billy Bob.
And mostly likely Willy Nelson probably asked him to leave for the Canadian part of the tour. Willy knows how to treat fans and be a class act.
Why am I so interested in this story?!?!?

To add to this, which is incredibly intriguing.
I was at the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on Saturday night. They once toured with Willie Nelson. ANd the mentioned that Canadians are Mashed Potatoes with LOTS of gravy!!!
I LOVE THE DIRT BAND
You also need to check out Billy Bob's bands website, they do a really lame explanation of what went on.
