Book review - "The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts" by Billy Bob Thornton and Kinky Friedman

 Entertaining memoir from Thornton told in the form of conversations and chats from friends such as Robert Duvall. Angelina Jolie wrote the intro. Doesn't talk much about his early marriages. The stories of growing up are vivid as are those of him being a young man in Arkansas then trying to break in Hollywood. Generous and spiritual. The last third is full of a lot of rants about how the world is going to hell and the internet is horrible - turns into middle aged white man ranting. Always interesting though as we don't often get an insight into Thornton's mind.

Written when Ang was with Brad and Thornton endorses them. Goes up until Jayne Mansfield's Car. Talks a lot about music.
