He sits out there in a wooden chair behind the big house on the Granbury Highway south of Weatherford with his boots kicked up on another chair he\u2019s pulled up, waiting for them each night after Carrie\u2019s asleep, on a landscape so dark you can\u2019t see your nose in front of your face, only the orange hissing glow of his American Spirit floating around in the blackness whenever he sucks and the smoke goes into his lungs, which by the way are clean as can be, the doctor said so after a full-body scan and blood work and all the rest of it, even though he\u2019s been smoking since he was nineteen with only a couple breaks and he just turned seventy this summer.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Limpy walks on three legs. He puts out three bowls of food every night, but they all want to eat out of the same bowl for some damn reason, some kind of competitive deal. And the way racoons push each other out of the way is they use their asses to nudge each other back, because if they jostle each other from the front, there\u2019s gonna be a fight, and they\u2019re too hungry to fight. He named them. The possum who comes later doesn\u2019t have a name, but he\u2019ll sure as shit show up too. One night he forgot to feed them and Rocky came wobbling right up to him, big fat bristly body on those stubby legs, looking at him with those yellow reflective eyes like, Hey, bub, where\u2019s the chow?<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"recirculation\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-23\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-24\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"css-swqnqv e1fodxfw2\"><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-qt9nna e1geg53v2\">Zackery Michael<\/span><\/figcaption><p>Thornton, photographed in New York City in November.

Racoons, possum, squirrels. Now he\u2019s nursing a Michelob Ultra sitting outside the big house that\u2019s paid for by the TV show, and he\u2019s got his expensive cowboy boots up on the other chair watching them fight over the food he puts out for them. They\u2019re funny, and he sits alone in the darkness watching them. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">This is good. It\u2019s a tough way to go through life, trying to be truly happy when true happiness is your biggest fear, because what if something happens again like what happened to Jimmy? In October 1988, Billy\u2019s brother Jimmy died suddenly. Jimmy was thirty and Billy was thirty-three. Jimmy was Billy\u2019s best friend. They watched the Beatles on <em data-node-id=\"7.1\">Ed Sullivan <\/em>together. They played music together, started bands together. They got beat up by their father together. Jimmy\u2019d had rheumatic fever as a child, which weakened his heart. \u201cAnd he didn\u2019t help it out any,\u201d Billy says. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Everything right now is pretty good, though. This crisp Texas night air, the blue-black sky and its billion pinhole stars, a beer and a smoke, and these hilarious fuckin\u2019 racoons eating the food he put out for them. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The show, too, of course, the reason he\u2019s in Texas: <em data-node-id=\"9.1\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/entertainment\/tv\/a69306169\/landman-season-2-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/entertainment\/tv\/a69306169\/landman-season-2-release-schedule\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"Landman\" data-node-id=\"9.1.0\" class=\"body-link css-144f60g emevuu60\">Landman<\/a><\/em>\u2014it\u2019s excellent, and it\u2019s not only excellent but <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/entertainment\/tv\/a63371989\/landman-season-2-paramount-cast-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/entertainment\/tv\/a63371989\/landman-season-2-paramount-cast-news\/\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"it\u2019s a hit\" data-node-id=\"9.3\" class=\"body-link css-144f60g emevuu60\">it\u2019s a hit<\/a>.

He loves the character, Tommy Norris, an oil-company man doing the best he can to please the CEO and keep the drills drilling and fend off the cartels and fend off the horny guys circling his teenage daughter. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Billy\u2019s got two grown boys who come around and see him. He\u2019s got a great marriage, finally, to Connie, whom he met through Carrie\u2014who\u2019s asleep inside\u2014who\u2019s his makeup artist and Connie\u2019s sister. Carrie was his makeup artist on <em data-node-id=\"10.1\">Bad Santa<\/em>, and Connie came to visit the set one time, and that was it.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"11\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And he has Bella, his daughter with Connie, who\u2019s twenty-one now and a sophomore studying biology and English. The center of his universe. He never misses her birthday. If he\u2019s on tour or on set or whatever, it\u2019s written in that he needs three days: September 22 and a day of travel on either side. Her name is tattooed on his left arm. His arms are strong and he doesn\u2019t look seventy, doesn\u2019t feel seventy. He knows guys his age who see the world from wheelchairs or walk with canes. He\u2019s virile, and he\u2019s sharp, and to Tommy Norris and every other part he plays, he brings wisdom, a world-weary way with people, and a little bit of pain, all accumulated over the decades, and you just believe him. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-25\" data-node-id=\"12\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"large\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-large embed css-uhpotl e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"billy bob thornton\" title=\"billy bob thornton\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"3200\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=980:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=2048:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=2048:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=2048:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=2048:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-003-69137eaf9f081.jpg?resize=2048:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-qt9nna e1geg53v2\">Zackery Michael<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"13\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">You\u2019ll never hear a complaint come out of Billy Bob Thornton\u2019s mouth about where he is or what he\u2019s achieved. The problem is, he knows he\u2019ll never be as good as Frederic March, the first and greatest naturalistic actor, knows he\u2019ll never be as good as the Beatles, and knows he\u2019ll never, ever be as happy as he was before Jimmy died. Even after three or four decades in this business, both as a musician and an actor, he\u2019s an outsider. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"14\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He looks up into the ocean of black sky and dreams dreams he knows will never come true, and yet he feels at peace. And that\u2019s a very weird thing for Billy Bob. <em data-node-id=\"14.1\">Very<\/em> weird. Peace is not something he\u2019s known\u2026maybe ever, in any of the lives he\u2019s lived. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"15\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He\u2019s not sure he likes it.<\/p>\n<hr data-node-id=\"16\" class=\"css-18pb4rg emevuu60\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"17\" class=\"body-dropcap css-1sphjjy emevuu60\">That\u2019s how Billy looks at his seven decades: as a series of lives running into one another, sometimes with a slow dissolve, sometimes with a smash cut. And those other selves don\u2019t exist anymore, is how he sees it. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"18\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            \u201cWhen I think of my life, there have been so many lives. It\u2019s literally like, this one was a year and a half, this one was three years, this one was two years,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd they were different people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"19\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">There was the kid who used to get beat up by his old man. \u201cWe grew up in an era\u2014and in an area\u2014where men were not emotional people,\u201d he says, then corrects himself: \u201cWell, the only emotion was anger. My dad expected me to be the biggest, the strongest, the fastest, and if you weren\u2019t, he hated it. You know, I went pretty far in baseball. I was a good chuck pitcher. But I was still a pussy to him because I didn\u2019t play football. I played it through the tenth grade, then I was like, I weigh 140 fuckin\u2019 pounds. I\u2019m gonna get killed. So it\u2019s this thing feeling like you\u2019re not enough.

It was a rental, and this was back when you had to insert the key and then push a button, and she couldn\u2019t figure it out. Thornton was nominated to go out and help her. He started the car, and there they were, standing in Roddy McDowell\u2019s driveway, and it was one of those chilly Los Angeles nights when Halloween clouds obscure the moon and you can see the mist in the glow of the streetlamps, like in London. Bacall grabbed Thornton by the shirt and \u201c<em data-node-id=\"26.1\">kind of<\/em> started making out with me,\u201d he says. \u201cI\u2019m looking up the streetlamp thinking, <em data-node-id=\"26.3\">I\u2019m kissing Lauren Bacall.<\/em> And my second thought was, <em data-node-id=\"26.5\">Humphrey Bogart is looking down at me so pissed off right now.<\/em> He\u2019s a hero of mine, and now I\u2019m kissing Bogey\u2019s wife.

The band has a new record out, and he leaves Saturday for a three-month tour that begins with two shows opening for the Who before tumbling into a string of dates mostly in the South and Midwest. Then he has a quick break before doing a lot of press to help push season 2 of <em data-node-id=\"32.1\">Landman,<\/em> which starts November 16. He\u2019ll get to spend a little time with Bella while she\u2019s at school, where he and Connie rent a house to be close to her, and then he goes to Pittsburgh for a movie.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-28\" data-node-id=\"33\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"large\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-large embed css-uhpotl e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"billy bob thornton\" title=\"billy bob thornton\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"3200\" height=\"1977\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=980:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=2048:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=2048:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=2048:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=2048:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-002-69137f513eb38.jpg?crop=0.905xw:0.902xh;0.0415xw,0.0504xh&amp;resize=2048:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-qt9nna e1geg53v2\">Zackery Michael<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"34\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">It\u2019s paradise here, he says, except when the pollen from the sweetgum trees along the driveway scratch his throat and make him cough. He quit drugs when he was twenty-four because it had gotten pretty bad. And he used to have a Tito\u2019s rocks now and then, but these days it\u2019s pretty much just the beer. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"35\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cI never got along with hard alcohol,\u201d he says, the words curling around his lips in that melodic, slightly annoyed Billy Bob drawl. \u201cI mean, especially the brown stuff. That either made me get in a fight or get married.\u201d <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"36\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He had a reputation in some of those early years for being a little crazy, a little weird. Occasionally inappropriate, perhaps. Nocturnal. <em data-node-id=\"36.1\">Dark<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"37\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And yeah, okay. There were the phobias he talked about, including a fear of Komodo dragons and acute epiplaphobia, the fear of antique furniture.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"38\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">And his medical predilections certainly could be seen as extranormal, and he holds them still today. For example: \u201cIn the middle of the night, my heart would beat really fast when I drank vodka,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd so I talked to my\u2014well, see, I have a lot of witch doctors and shit like that.\u201d <em data-node-id=\"38.1\">Heh heh.<\/em>\u201cMy medical intuitive told me, \u2018Your system runs hot. So when you add heat to it, that\u2019s what happens. So don\u2019t do that.\u2019 I stopped drinking vodka and sure enough. Oh, she\u2019s smart as hell.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"39\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Is a medical intuitive\u2026a doctor?<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"40\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cOh no, she\u2019s a\u2014she had a near-death experience and when she came out of it\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"41\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He pauses, smiles like he\u2019s in the principal\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"42\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cI have a lot of weird beliefs. She came out of this near-death experience and was almost completely blind. But she now had this ability to see inside herself. She could see organs and stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"43\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Does he also go to, um, real doctors?<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"44\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cYeah, yeah, yeah, I do both,\u201d he says. \u201cI mean, if you get a compound fracture, sassafras tea ain\u2019t gonna fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"45\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Even weirder-sounding was the whole story about him and Angelina Jolie, wife number five of six, wearing vials of each other\u2019s blood around their necks. He has set the record straight about this before and he will do it again. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"46\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThe \u2018vial of blood\u2019 thing\u2019s way overblown,\u201d he says. \u201cYou know what we did? This is the exact story. It was Angie\u2019s idea. We had to be apart a lot. So she said, When we\u2019re apart, I thought this would be cool: She got two of those little lockets where you can open it up, put a picture of your grandma or whatever. And we got a little razor blade. We cut our fingers and we smeared a little blood on this locket, close it up, and wear it around your neck. It\u2019s a romantic gesture. Well, it turns into a quart of blood around our necks and we\u2019re vampires and we drink each other\u2019s blood, we live in a dungeon.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"47\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He takes a slug of beer and a drag, and he smiles.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"48\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cYou know how that goes. But we didn\u2019t have a bad breakup\u2014it was just that she wanted to live a different lifestyle, which was going around the world, working for the UN\u2014doing <em data-node-id=\"48.1\">great<\/em> stuff. Me, I\u2019m more of a <em data-node-id=\"48.3\">here<\/em> guy. But Angie is, to this day, one of my best friends.

But Billy gets his smokes in. Once, while they were filming season 2 near Weatherford, he had just taken a smoke break, which for Billy is three or four cigarettes, and when he came back to set he was worried about his breath, so he asked Demi Moore, one of his costars, whom he\u2019s known for more than thirty years, for a piece of her gum.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"52\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            \u201cI chewed it, but a few minutes later, the flavor went out pretty quick,\u201d he says. \u201cI said, Honey, I\u2019m sorry to bug you, can I have another piece of gum? Well, next thing I know, I was like <em data-node-id=\"52.1\">Zzzzzzzz<\/em>\u2014my head was buzzing and shit. And she said, Boy I would think as much as you smoke, you wouldn\u2019t want this. And I looked at her like, Oh, shit!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"53\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            Billy had no idea that Moore had given him nicotine gum. \u201cI thought the top of my head was gonna buzz off,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd Demi started laughing. We still joke about that, because it was hilarious\u2014I mean, <em data-node-id=\"53.1\">later<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"54\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            Tommy Norris feels like a role that Billy has been working toward for a lifetime, because Tommy Norris is a man who understands how life works, what\u2019s worth fighting for and what\u2019s not, and when somebody needs to be told how it is. He\u2019s never satisfied, and he dudn\u2019t smile a whole lot. He\u2019s been through a lot of shit you haven\u2019t, and he knows you\u2019ve been through some shit too, and it\u2019s not a contest to see who\u2019s been through worse shit.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"55\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            Last week Billy sat in a hotel bar on West 56th Street in New York, getting ready for an event with the rest of the cast to promote season 2. His people had asked the bar to stock some Michelob Ultra, but it hadn\u2019t come in yet, so he was drinking a Stella, which by the way he was fine with. (But his people did very nicely ask if they wouldn\u2019t mind getting a case of Ultra.)<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"56\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            Now, some people might say: overprivileged celebrity. To which Billy Bob Thornton said, on another occasion: \u201cAre you shittin\u2019 me? I grew up in abject poverty. And then things got a little better. And then I worked at a sawmill, I hauled heavy equipment, worked at a machine shop, hauled hay my first job. I worked for the highway department on an asphalt crew\u2014I used to have to go clean up after accidents sometimes. I saw some things I shouldn\u2019a seen. Where does the over-privileged part come in? Because I made a success out of myself? By working my ass off and starving to death? If you call that overprivileged, well, go ahead. But I don\u2019t think so.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr data-node-id=\"57\" class=\"css-18pb4rg emevuu60\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"body-image\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-30\" data-node-id=\"58\" class=\"embed\">\n<div size=\"medium\" data-embed=\"body-image\" class=\"align-center size-medium embed css-y6m8k e1fodxfw4\">\n<div class=\"css-uwraif e1fodxfw3\"><img draggable=\"true\" alt=\"billy bob thornton\" title=\"billy bob thornton\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2400\" height=\"3200\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent;width:100%;height:auto;\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=640:* 640w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=768:* 980w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=980:* 1120w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=980:* 1400w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=980:* 1800w, https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=980:* 2000w\" src=\"https:\/\/hips.hearstapps.com\/hmg-prod\/images\/esq110125billybobthorntondig-004-69137f21a6cb3.jpg?resize=980:*\" class=\"css-0 e1g79fud0\"\/><\/p>\n<p><figcaption data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-figcaption\" class=\"css-1am3yn9 e1g9hcy40\"><span data-theme-key=\"photo-credit-creditor\" class=\"css-qt9nna e1geg53v2\">Zackery Michael<\/span><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"59\" class=\"body-dropcap css-1sphjjy emevuu60\">Billy\u2019s sitting in the front seat of the Boxmasters tour bus parked behind a brick amphitheater on a warm summer night an hour north of Atlanta. The dim beat of the opening act seeps into the bus, but it\u2019s pretty quiet in here. The opening act tonight is Billy\u2019s good friend Mark Collie, another actor and singer. He plays the sheriff on <em data-node-id=\"59.1\">Landman<\/em>. Billy\u2019s got one foot propped up, he\u2019s got a beer and a smoke, and it\u2019s dark in the front seat.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"60\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He\u2019s trying to explain his most complex and debilitating phobia of all, which is his phobia of happiness. He gets in good moods a lot, and Connie and Bella and his boys all bring him joy. But if you promise yourself you won\u2019t ever get too happy, it\u2019s kind of like insurance against having it ripped away again. Too much sunshine in your life and you might forget how hard it can get, and you don\u2019t want to get surprised again. He needs the rain.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"61\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cEverything seems kind of okay,\u201d he says. Life, he means\u2014it\u2019s going well. \u201cBut I don\u2019t get too happy, because I\u2019m afraid something will happen, like with my brother. So I always keep happiness at an arm\u2019s length.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"62\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He takes a drag, and the glow of his American Spirit floats in the darkness of the bus. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"63\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cBut you know what it is? I can explain it to you like this: I believe when your dreams die, you die. Once you feel like you\u2019ve fulfilled your dreams, you can wither away.\u201d When he says a <em data-node-id=\"63.1\">w<\/em> word, like <em data-node-id=\"63.3\">wither,<\/em> he blows the <em data-node-id=\"63.5\">w<\/em> like he\u2019s blowing the fluffy seeds off a dandelion. \u201cIt\u2019s the journey where you\u2019re doing all this stuff\u2014that\u2019s the interesting part. I\u2019m a daydreamer. I dream every day about what I want to do, and I still consider myself a guy who\u2019s trying to make it. And I think as long as you\u2019re dreaming, you\u2019re good. I made a career off of\u2014and a life\u2014off of dreaming. And I\u2019ll never stop.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"64\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">What would it mean to make it?<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"65\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cThe bar was set too high for me, so I never <em data-node-id=\"65.1\">will <\/em>make it. The bar was set for me by Elvis Presley and the Beatles and Buddy Holly. I\u2019m never going to be any of those things. So I\u2019m reaching for a bar that I can never grab. Humphrey Bogart and Jimmy Stewart and Spencer Tracy and Frederic March\u2014the bar was set so high that I\u2019m never going to reach it. As a result, I\u2019ll never retire. I\u2019ll always be struggling and I\u2019ll never be at peace about it. And I\u2019m kind of happy about that, because the struggle, that journey, is the greatest thing on earth. It really\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"66\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">He takes a long drag, and finishes a beer.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"67\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\"><em data-node-id=\"67.0\">Heh heh heh.<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"68\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">\u201cIt really is. You know? So.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"69\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">            There\u2019s a rap on the door of the bus. The opening act is finishing up. Time to get ready. He pushes himself up out of the front seat and walks to the back of the bus. He puts on his concert look. Skinny black jeans and black boots and a black shirt and a cool brimmed hat and round black glasses. He\u2019s a teenager again. Battle of the bands.
