Jamming with Billy Norris, teen film critic for The St. Petersburg Times


About Billy Norris (from Billy's page on the St. Petersburg Times Website):

"Billy Norris, 14, is film critic for the St. Petersburg Times Xpress page. He is a former member of the Times X-Team, the group of student writers for Xpress. He was Radio Disney’s first local kidcaster, reporting on the Devil Rays."

After Billy's April 2002 appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman (see the video here), he wrote in to Anton's message board, wondering what the music was that the band played while Billy walked out. (It was "Still A Young Man" by Tower of Power.) Anton was doing promotion for Figments in the Tampa area and this event just 'sort of happened.' It was a lot of fun - Billy was amazing on the bass!

Billy's interview with Anton recently aired on WTSP News 10 in Tampa, and you can watch it here:

Billy also did a terrific interview with Anton for the St. Petersburg Times Xpress page, which is now available on the net!
