That said, I took my son to a clinic he did in Cincinnati a number of years ago, and he was great. While I don't always like what he plays, he's really amazing to watch. All those notes come from very little movement. He's also a great storyteller, and a likeable guy. He'll sign autographs, and even answer email.
I'd go again in a second if he came near here.

in case any of you were there, I was the guy who yelled "CRAP" and got a free tee-shirt because of it. |

Don't get me wrong, though...I might make a joke about it now and then, but he seems very happy and together. It's not for me, but others get something out of it, so I'm not judging...just joking a little.

During the big Scientology protests a few months back, Billy sat outside and politely put up with loudmouths and explained the church's views, and what parts he does and doesn't agree with.

If Billy was Scientology's spokesman instead of that idiot Tom Cruise, it would go over much better. But Tom Cruise, who regularly demonstrates slightly above average brainpower at best, thinks he is a complete genius because he is a big movie star Scientologist, and actually hurts their cause. Same with Travolta, although his ability to fly commercial planes does speak much better about his brainpower, much more than those crappy backwards hairplugs he has.

I pulled up to where the shop used to be and found it deserted. I was devastated, I thought they went out of business. I'm glad to see that they moved. Off the 5 and Newport Blvd in Tustin, I'll have to pop in next time I'm down there. |
