He is our son...Scotland will weep biter tears when he leaves us.

[@peternorman2762]

The funniest man ever period

[@edwood5535]

Such a humble man, I totally agree with him. They way you can laugh when you're in a group of 'normal' people is so special.

[@druss69harad61]

Thank you Billy,for your unique insight,I wish more of us were like you

[@marknestbox]

I love this guy like my own family except we're dysfunctional so don't get on, but for forty years this sentient, an angel among humans, was a member of the family I never had. 63 now and can still smile seeing the face I lacked as a member of a family; sad, but Bill was there. Thank you Man. Mark. Second Side Up FM.

The world isn’t as good as it used to be.

[@katesleuth1156]

Background music is distracting.

[@SiliconBong]

It could be him playing an instrumental.

[@garyleroy6999]

You are perhaps in the wrong place if you're distracted whilst Billy talks. ✌️♥️

During the 80's, here in Brisbane Australia, I used to sometimes drink with a guy who went to school with Billy. I may never have had the opportunity to sit down and have a drink with Billy -- but I got the next best thing -- as BC points out here. I cannot imagine a world that didn't have Jim Morrison, The Beatles or Billy Connolly. Thinking about it is depressing so thank goodness for the universe exercising common sense.
