Rob Thomas has been a huge crush for years. I have to confess my single reason for joining twitter was to see if he would respond to me, AND he did! I know ... he's married ... but I really can't help liking the guy. I love his writing and watching him perform is pretty sublime. The way he sings (facial expressions, hand movements, voice) is so him.
So he has a new album coming out (just caught a clip of "Her Diamonds") which hopefully means I get to see him live soon.
Oh, and did I tell you he's smart-funny? Smart-funny AND nice. Glad to see fame hasn't gone to his head.
