Cool Video: Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters show off their favorite youtube videos…
Man, how cool would it be if you made a great video for youtube and it gets a nod by hollywood actor/rock musician Billy Bob Thornton!!! Billy Bob just formed a new band called the Boxmasters, and to help spread the word, youtube gave him the opportunity to show off his favorite youtube videos. Any video that he wanted.
That’s what so damn cool about youtube is because you can get your 15 minutes of fame in it and you just never know who is watching your videos whether it’s a celebrity or a famous rock star.
The Boxmasters trio show off their videos here while drinking beer and partying it up and joking around, yes, they do look kind of wasted and plastered. Billy Bob Thornton, the actor/musician is in the center wearing the baseball cap. He happens to be a favorite actor of mine in the movies.
You can see all of the Boxmasters favorite videos in their entirety in the featured videos section. Enjoy.

Whose Side Are You On: The Black Crowes vs. Gretchen Wilson…
First the Black Crowes whine about Maxim’s review of their new album, now they are whining about country star Gretchen Wilson. The band is accusing Gretchen Wilson of exploiting her own song “Work Hard, Play Harder” she wrote for the TV show “Saving Grace” and the band is claiming it is sounding pretty close to their 1991 hit “Jealous Again”.
The band didn’t threaten to sue her, they just sent her copyright infringement notices, as in a warning type of thing.
Billboard reports:

So I post both songs in videos below so you can be the judgement if they sound the same.
I’m sorry, but Gretchen wins this one, so I’m with her on this all the way. Her song sounds nothing like “Jealous Again” if you listen carefully and closely to both songs. Gretchen sings it much differently.
It’s her song, her copyright, she’s perfectly safe 100%. Watch the judge drop this when they battle it out in court. I think the Crowes are “Jealous” of Gretchen because she is a bigger star than the Crowes are, and the Black Crowes new album “Warpaint” bombed and didn’t sell any copies.

Great choice for the Bond theme. I like Jack White and I like Alicia Keys too believe it or not. While I hate today’s pop music, I actually do like a very few pop singers. The pop singers I do enjoy listening to are Alicia Keys, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Amy Winehouse and Kanye West.
But on top of that, I’m really looking forward to the new James Bond flick coming out, I will see that one too.
