Billy Bob Thornton

She goes, what's that?

I said, the Beatles.

She goes, oh, I've heard of the Beatles.

And I'm like, yeah.

Yeah, it's like hearing of George Washington.

But anyway, and I said, can you name any of the Beatles?

And she goes, no, but weren't they like some kind of – and I said, they were a band who started every fucking thing we do nowadays.

And I couldn't believe it.

And she was like a hip girl with like orange hair and fucking nose rings and cheek rings and everything else.

But it just seems to me that people's history is it's kind of it's become different.

Like our history, when I was, you know, listening to, you know, whoever, Cream or Jimi Hendrix or Traffic or whatever, I still knew who Billie Holiday and Jimmy Rogers, the singing breakman, were, you know.

Now, a lot of people think Ozzy Osbourne was just a guy on a reality show.

It's like, no, he was in a band called Black Sabbath way back in the late 60s.

And I think history is important for us.

I think if you don't know where shit comes from,

You know, I think it's part of what you put into your art or your influences and also to see what they went through to get where they were.

You know, I just think it's important.

I mean, with anybody, politicians, how many people know that Benjamin Franklin, you know, Benjamin Franklin, oh, he's the guy who flew a kite and, you know, discovered how to make electricity come to some other place or whatever.

But, you know, they're fighting over states, right?

You know, when there weren't that many states.
