Bonnie 'Prince' Billy Interviewed on KansasCity TV

[mooch9668]

Fox presenters are post modern facebook lobotomized dummied down idiots.

[chandles76]

Surreal to watch. "BIG FRIDAY! I Love Big Friday!" Jesus woman!

Well done Will, for putting up with these fools.............

[Boogiefish]

No wait, I think I understand: the baby's were thrown away and the afterbirths became Fox presenters.

[Iamyourmoth]

I half expected the news reporter to clap along with those papers in her hand and a silly smile on her face.

[Craigscout86]

I like the part where he's just about to explain Scottish history to that woman. haha

[AlanHolsworth]

The presenters seem obnoxious but lets be honest, he can't play guitar and can barely sing and his lyrics are just meaningless and boring.

[duckotaco]

@AlanHolsworth oooooooh fuck you.

[mothbits]

@AlanHolsworth Did your lobotomy hurt?

[FXMAHO]

Man this guy is interesting and unique.

[PoHakk]

genious. this guy is holding the artistic bar where it should be, he is so underrated, pisses me off. love him, unreal

[overfedwhale]

This is the most epic juxtaposition of human beings worth knowing and human beings not worth knowing I have ever seen.

[elgoyano]

@overfedwhale jajaja i completely agree with you

[jayi100]

@overfedwhale Well said.

[akedwards76]

Will was being very tolerant of that attention seeking clown- but I noticed Will reserved him a stern glare with some cold eye contact straight after singing "hear them bicker, watch them die impaled on balsa spears" (at 5:30) . Anybody with an active neuron would've sensed this was a direct fuck you, which is why it went completely over the host's head.

[drplbiftin]

I really want to punch that head bobbing cunt

[ruthierhettbennett]

HILARIOUS!!! JOHNNY CASH & BABY JESSICA...THOROUGHLY ENTERTAINING!!!

[Oggranak]

It's funny how they're talking like he's some random local who happened to come into contact with a real celebrity. Evidently they are not acquainted with his own legacy.

[jesuscat29]

billy is great. these people make me don't want to go to church......ever

[leveelevee]

how gross can one humanbeing possibly be?!

[shauncytheboom]

Wow. What planet is that suit from. Did he think he was gonna throw him off by his 3 minutes of research, what a boob. I would have trouble not impaling that guy on my guitars headstock.

[ederdeek]

Will Oldham is an Hero

[ederdeek]

MY Hero

[Zeratul723]

I see a darkness....

[pert25]

This video is surreal. Very funny at the end seeing the newscaster bobbing his head like a little kid watching Yo Gabba Gabba.

[chadriDV]

holy crap i hope that news guy reads these comments. He serves absolutely no purpose on earth. It's not really that i wish him death, i wish the reversal of his existence. what a gaping asshole.

[hexenductionhour]

This is grim. Who the fuck is this woman

[shilohwillcome]

I want to poke that assholes eyes out and I hope that lady loses all her hair.

[lordstobbo]

I can just imagine how that went down with the tea partiers.

[asonjaryg]

That guy is a real sarcastic prick.

[BobbyMcBob23]

"J"

[rendofarend]

Love the way he took the piss out of them fox cunts :)

[dubbedcrazy]

can't we all just get a bong

[quinsedlethorpid]

Legend

[carabachi]

Haha!!! Morons on FOX!!!! Will Oldham is great though, stayed polite even with those bumbling, uninformed, pathetic anchors. FOX...we didn't expect much better from your trash station anyway.

[kadane7777777]

what drugs has this anchorman taken?



[Thepicklemytickle]

both of those fuckers really make me angry. I love you Will oldham.

[TheBeazler]

this video is great -- couldn't believe Will Oldham on Fox! i actually liked the whole interview. people who think of Will Oldham as an "Artiste" are ridiculous ... part of the pleasure of his music is that he doesn't pull that Holier Than Thou crap. I thought this was a great and very intriguing interview. Made me a bigger fan of Will ... Really liked his playing and singing too

[NoDirectionHome19]

These interviewers are complete ass clowns. Devoid of any sense of class or couth while Mr. Oldham performs. They should be grateful he showed up on their lame ass program, let alone belittle him just prior to him performing 'Cold & Wet'.

[FoFiff]

he should have kicked that smart ass anchor man in the throat. nothing like local tv jackasses making fuckin faces while one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time sings for their low budget 8pm news show. I bet if it was michael bolton sitting there they would have shown him total respect. True genius always ends up being more appreciated after they are gone much like Johnny Cash.

[xoVaruna]

One of the better mustaches on the indie scene today. Probably the best.

[cdampitcs1]

he should have played "you have cum in your hair and you dick is hanging out."

[ignoranttwat]

"So you're kind of a little bit of a Jack-of-all-trades..."

Everything she says...she is dead...she knows NOTHING, she is as a character in a computer game: there is NOTHING THERE. Ignorance is not bliss: ignorance is NOTHING! And in nothing there is no possibility for bliss as bliss is tiny, observed perfection and perfection requires a "something". Fucking stupid interviewers.

[planetnoodles]

yes ma'am,he is simply amazing.going to see him play manchester in august and cant wait :)

[favouritedress]

fuck me, the bit where he sings "The men are wailing toothless, the ladies ghostly pout" with that look at them? beautiful!

[PG1986ko]

i cant figure out this guy?is he like a redneck or what?great music anyway,but yes maam?

[clowgadderer]

"When things become too warm, make them a little wet"

[superwolf76]

I used to work at a television station and the best they could drum up was Ted Nugent. Still, if they had gotten Will on the show, it would have made me a very confused man (*This shitty show?*) and possibly sick since our anchors were bigger knuckleheads than these two.

[Theo21033]

jesus those anchors made me want to throw up

[davidnicholashill]

Seems a lot of people missed the wonderful relpy to Johnny Cash being "larger than life"....Ha ha, nice one Will.

[Theo21033]

oh my god I didnt even glance at that response first time, hilarious

[doctrozaimon]

i want that guitar and a leper girl

[trilobite3339]

lousy anchorman. most are, though. good work, will

[litlramona]

hahahahahhahahahahahaa

[TheOskarWerner]

In Austria, where I am from, we call guys like the anchor guy next to Will "Oaschloch" oder aber auch "deppates Oaschloch" oder, was wahrscheinlich auf diesen Herrn zutrifft, "frustriertes Oaschloch". Will Oldham is a great songwriter!; and plasticpeople on TV, who work for some fucked up TV-station, are assholes.

[millicentbistander]

Here, here... well said. This is a reply to HERETOGO's comment... you should give it a read. Man were those anchors morons, phew.

[millicentbistander]

The guy anchor is a jackass... he's "so" to good for Will. What a dick, tool, and how 'bout that snappy joke. "Oh wow, so quik to the gun funny-funnister. You blew my mind with that superior wit of yours." Nice head bobbing ya fuckin' chump. Chickee poo as well... they both couldn't wait to not talk to Will anymore. Puke! Will is so cool, and humble too... a genuine article. Thanks for posting.

[budddees]

i love this video. it is adorable. i love will oldham! This kind of reminds me of Thanksgiving... a time when you talk to people in your family that just don't get it... just like the pilgrims and natives did so many years ago.

[jaelliott]

This is probably the norm for him when he does morning show interviews out on the road.

[saikanonojutsu]

If that was my hometown newsteam, I would be SO fucking embarrassed for bPb to come on.

[subsamadhi]

that lady is a terrible t.v. host

[zenun7]

he's bad ass ,their crap from my ass

[blackguarding]

trippy

[HERET0G0]

Hahaha - How bizarre - They dont know what the hell to make of him! Wage slave meets free wheeling musical genius! Brilliant! I feel sorry for her also though - she is uncomfortably nervous in the face of true greatness and that which she doesnt understand - its not unusual in this age of fakes and frauds.

[patrickj25]

hhahah

[philamoses]

@HERET0G0 "he filled his shell plus a centimetre". classic

[NoDirectionHome19]

@HERET0G0 I'm sure Will Oldham would very much be impressed with your elitist, entitled snobbery. Feel free to metaphorically suck his dick by calling him true greatness with a touch of free wheeling musical genius but don't fool yourself into thinking you understand some higher truth others do not; your life, just like the lady whom you degrade, is a false illusion and you will most likely die alone and unfulfilled. See, other people can be arrogant douchebags, too! You're not special!

[HERET0G0]

@NoDirectionHome19

The pot calls the kettle black

[NoDirectionHome19]

@HERET0G0 What's your point? That I'm a hypocrite? In this instance, sure, I'll agree. It does negate the fact you sound like a self-entitled douche with a Napoleonic complex. These interviewers are moronic, agreed; however, calling them out on it in the manner you did rather than just laughing about it (which is probably what Will Oldham did after he gout out of the studio) kind of implies your ego is too big to just push their childish, classless behavior aside.

[HERET0G0]

@NoDirectionHome19

You call them 'moronic' / 'ass clowns' / and their program 'lame ass' and call me a 'douche' (whatever that is) - I simply said that there are many fakes on TV and that I felt sorry for the interviewer who was nervous - who exactly is the one 'calling them out' in a way that you take offence with again?

PS - 'doesn't negate the fact' not 'does negate the fact'.

[NoDirectionHome19]

@HERET0G0 Yeah, I agree, they are fake; my implication is that you take offense to their falseness because you yourself are not true to your ideals and beliefs, much like them.

Also, yes, it is doesn't negate rather than does negate. Good for you.

[HERET0G0]

@NoDirectionHome19 That's quite a negative assumption your'e making about someone you don't know. Nevertheless, following your logic - You judge (you didn't 'imply' it - you explicitly stated - see below) that I take offence at fakes coz i am also fake - therefore do you take offence at ass clowns because "you yourself are an ass clown"? You don't make a bit of sense! Can I get back to enjoying the music now? Please?

[NoDirectionHome19]

@HERET0G0 My assumptions are based off experience and generally people who judge others are doing so as a result of negative feelings regarding their own self. I attack said interviewers as ass clowns because their sensibilities and personality 'rub me the wrong way', if you will, and to me that implies I myself am something of an ass clown, too; at least in regards to what I say then what I actually do. I can assume, like most people who degrade others, that at least some part of you, you hate

[HERET0G0]

@NoDirectionHome19 I didn't degrade anybody - my comments were sincere - you degraded the interviewers and me (you will die alone - douche etc) - Im a guy who saw an interesting video and made a comment - what are you? The thought police? Can I please log onto this site again without having to contend with your irritating comments? Why are we even talking about our own characteristics? This isn't the forum at all - If you want to spar / debate with someone may i recommend a friend? therapy?

[NoDirectionHome19]

@HERET0G0 I am also a guy who saw what I perceived to be an elitist comment and made a comment about the inherent elitism of it. Saying the interviewers are stunned before the true greatness presented before them (i.e. Will Oldham) is to me slightly degrading. I found your comment to be irritating and as a result made a comment about it. Feel free to continue making comments but to assume this isn't the forum for sparring or debating is taking away from the possibilities of this creation.

[NoDirectionHome19]

@NoDirectionHome19 p.s. This can be the forum for any type of debate, ideal or not, and generally when you find others comments to be irritating you should simply ignore them and move on with your life; or is the size of your ego incapable of letting you move on?

[shilohwillcome]

@HERET0G0 It makes good sense, like, a prideful man hates prideful men.

[shilohwillcome]

@shilohwillcome i suppose.

[powerslide13]

Those two interviewers are horrible.

[merrittfan]

Jeezy Creezy, this is bad.  Just bad.

[hummingdust]

oh my, this has to be one of the most awkward things I have ever seen. Well done Bonnie for staying this composed.

[sensepassking]

I am just imagining how uncomfortable it must have been when the cameras were off.

[DavidZimmer77]

What wonderful interviewing by the two people in the fancy clothes. The almost even asked him a question that one time. Way to be FOX news.

[ultrabrilliant]

This is the weirdest thing ever. He handled being on that piece of shit show really well. The way the male presenter is bobbing his head during 'Cold & Wet' is fucking hideous.

[dresssexyatmyfuneral]

"BIG FRIDAY, I LOVE BIG FRIDAY" sure, sure she's really honestly familiar with his music, which is why she asked such interesting and diverse questions.

[jun7per]

Why has he gone on this right wing channel.

Such an idiot.

His music has gone to the wolves.

[hamonrye66]

Wow, FOX news is incredibly more ignorant than I thought. I wonder if it was hard for Oldham to restrain himself from smashing his guitar through that host's brain matter.

[jrichardmarshall]

Damn. I'm glad Will has a sense of humor, because apparently his fans are all loons.

[punchachristian1]

the suit jacket man' is mr. funny guy,

[michelwuyts]

@punchachristian1 this guy should be beheaded for bobbing his head

[patch88]

holy shit. did anybody else notice that guitar??

[coku09]

Jesus, when the guy starts shakin in tune with Wills singing. Terrrriible :)

[estheticoindeed]

those fucking retards didn't know what hit them. god bless will oldham!

[estheticoindeed]

how in the hell did this happen? the baby jessica story...that is hilarious! yes mam. fox 4 news? i'm flabberghasted.

[jdd8687]

the two worst songs on the album!

no wonder he never does interviews, these guys are tools. i'm amazed he was able to sit through that

[utuber2]

Hilarious! When 2 worlds collide and neither understand the other...

[BogiTors]

Will Oldham is bigger than life

[iwillcontrolyourmind]

i think it's so great that there are so many ridiculous people in the world. i mean without one of these talking heads maybe you'd never have someone like will oldham. you prolly wouldn't. and it's charmingly weird that he's on this morning show with this ridiculous dialogue. it's the most absurd. classic.

word up!!!!!!!!

[nevermath]

Micheal "J" Fox

[ranchrach]

Complete and total morons. I would be insulted except clearly these two talking heads are just that. They really made themselves look like the assholes they are, Will is a king.

[ZLNewton]

Good lord... these morning show dingdongs are an embarassment to Kansas City. They treat a superb musician such as this with ignorant disrespect, but fawn over pop acts such as David Cook like he's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

[mcspongeicus]

totally surreal, he looks completely out of place there!

but, not much bonnie prince interviews out there, so great to see all the same.

[j8214]

bpb on tv? Seems a little out of place next to those two. Bout time he got some recognition even if it was a particularly insulting interview.

[colmbroaders]

Surely this is a spoof!

[Chaotic77Jordan]

THEY ARE MORE CONSENDED WITH JOHNNY CASH. HE COVERED BONNIE PRINCE BILLY. DON'T KEEP TALKING ABOUT CASH. THESE PEOPLE ARE TURLY IDOITS. THEY CUT IN THE FIRST SONG AND THE TALK ABOUT JOHNNY CASH. FUCK THEM. M.J. FOX..... FUCK THEM. WOW... 2 MINUTES AND 3O SECONDS..... YOU ARE SO FUCKING FUNNY....... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.... FUCK THAT BITCH.

I love you William. You did your thing with tac. I would have walked out of there with blood on my hands. Wow why are they on television....

[aacotter]

You call these people morons, yet you misspell every other goddamn word.

Who cares if these people are morons? It was fucking hilarious to watch BPB interviewed like that.

[bertdockx]

downright creepy

[sketari22]

i was just watching this and good eats (the milk episode) at the same time; will and alton are wearing the same exact hat...coincidence?

[cocoandthebean]

Awesome. I can't believe Will is doing such crap TV shows. He is on a different planet from those two suits. Will man you are a true artist in a sea of mediocrity.

[m522280]

holy macaroni!!! those two news douchebags! firggin love ya will!

[carlusjove]

I can't believe people like these work on tv! BPB rules!

[llynnowens]

I love the way Will looks at that swaying douche anchor when he sings "hear them bicker, watch them die impaled on balsa spears." <3

[knivesmusic]

that woman is an idiot

[7Gitanjali7]

This is hilarious! Bonnie just makes them seem so phony and plastic. That woman can hardly speak...so, so, so, funny!!! NicePlaying

[lenkbor]

These anchors are idiots.

[Rilez47]

That male anchor is a fool swaying like that, and interupts Will at the start of the song.

[nathanidiothend]

I never thought i'd see something like this.

[groundcat]

BPB can take the worst of an awkward situation and still make gold

[KidKentucky]

They understand nothing!

[sptfgpn]

Both interviewers are hostile.
