Jian Ghomeshi did an outstanding job of thinking on his feet, so to speak. I would not judge BBT too quickly, though. He wrote about having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder in his song, "Always Countin'" on THIS CD which I have and happen to still really enjoy listening to...it has a lot of personal poignancy in all of the songs and versatility. I am not excusing his behaviour, just pointing out that there may be medical reasons for it and the public is quick to judge and long to forgive/understand.

Frankly, when I saw "blow up" in the title, I thought you meant he really blew up. I've seen actors/performers who are considered fairly normal be more confrontational and snotty than he was.
