Dear Rob Thomas
This month's "Dear Superstar" column in Blender finds Rob Thomas answering reader questions, but they all want to ask him about is getting high.
MATCHBOX22 (WICHITA, KS): Where do you get your cheeba from?Perhaps someone should give Rob a link to that new Weezer video. And an intervention.
ROB THOMAS: Well, in New York or L.A., there are delivery services that are really easy to get ahold of. They're wonderful. I wish we could give them a plug--wouldn't that be great? But in the suburbs, it's just not flying around out there. And you don't want to start going down the streets and be like, "Hey, kids, how you doing? No, I'm not Rob Thomas--just another spliffhead, that's me."GOODOLBOY (LUBBOCK, TX): What's Willie Nelson's "supply" like?
ROB THOMAS: It's good, but I set him up with even better. I set him up with a great L.A. connection, this guy who also makes heavy, Satanic, dark-prince music. So I got a call once from Willie saying he needed to know how to get the number for that "devil weed."CAPNCHRONIC (DOVER, PA): What's the stupidest thing that you've ever done high?
ROB THOMAS: Once, when I was 19 or 20, and I was on way too much acid at a Halloween party, we decided that we loved the way our hands looked when we'd pick up dry ice and hold onto it and then let it go. I swear to God, the next day my hands were like one big blister.PIERREPLANE (DETROIT, MI): What's the worst album to listen to on acid?
ROB THOMAS: I can't remember which album, but it was a Skinny Puppy record. It just fucked me up. I mean fucked me up. It was some girl, I was having sex. It was like a bad Rob Zombie movie wrapping itself around me. It was her idea. She was some goth girl with her Skinny Puppy and her acid. These are the reasons why I don't do this shit anymore.L_MANDRAKE (YPSILANTI, MI): How much do you have to eat to stay fat while doing coke?
ROB THOMAS: Good question ... Three in the morning, you're coming down and you just want to eat something. There's a two-year period at the beginning of this band that I don't even remember.
UPDATE: Duh, I should've noted the Scientology connection. Obviously Rob wants us to know he approves of Ritalin.

Haaa. Yes, of course -- he's trying to prove he's not a scientologist!

I'd much prefer someone ask him who he is.

I want some of that devil weed. And, I want to smoke it while listening to that Satanic dark-prince music.
Score = 0
I like to think that Rob Thomas isn't cool enough to score good weed, but regardless of how big a stoner he is, he's still the mayor of doucheburg.
Score = 0
"Dear Superstar?" Why are they talking to Rob Thomas?
I made a Rob Thomas joke the other day, and my buddy had no idea who I was talking about. I had to tell him it was the guy that sang with Santana a couple years ago.
Santana 1

Oh man, I remember the first time I fucked a gothic chick on acid while listening to skinny puppy. I totally feel you, rob.

I wonder if Tom lets Rob smoke up while hes poking him in the ass, probably not.

Robb - You took the douchebag words right out of my mouth.
Score = 0
I think I remember doing a skinny puppy, while listening to a goth chick...If it wasn't for the the flashback I wouldn't even remember! maybe Rob can get a job in R & D with Tommy Chong if his day job craps out?
Score = 0
dude, i'm out here in LA and i definitely need to be up on the devil weed. and while i don't hate rob thomas nearly as much as most of you, i have to say that not being able to deal with goth sex on acid makes him kind of weak in my book. i mean, he knew what he was getting into, you know? if a goth chick is going to eff you, you expect that she's gonna get you all hopped up on goofballs and put on the skinny puppy (i'm surprised she didn't hit him with a dose of Revolting Cocks or better yet Nurse With Wound. Hafler Trio anyone?). a real dude would've manned up and just let her have it how she obviously wanted it, which was hard and dirty and more than a little degrading. and yes, i'm high as hell right now (but sadly, not on the coveted devil weed...)
Score = 0
wait. am i missing something? this is a joke, right? did he actually say all these things? (and i'm totally picturing kids asking them. because adults are old enough to know better than to listen to bad, bad music.)
Score = 0
CAPNCHRONIC (DOVER, PA): What's the stupidest thing that you've ever done high?
good question...well capnchronic, once when I was high I answered questions about drugs for a national magazine, thus incriminating myself, my dealers, who described in fairly obvious terms, and willie nelson.
oh, and I make all my records while high. but that's a good thing, right?!
Score = 0
Oh Rob Thomas...smoke all the dope you want...you still make my ears bleed, thanks.

OMGZY'ALL LIKE SMOKING POT IS WAY COOL AND I CANT HAVE A GOOD TIME WITHOUT FIRST DOING DRUGS BECAUSE IM HELLA COOL LIKE THAT YO.
fucking hell.

i wish somebody asked him about his alleged affair with tom cruise. apparently, the gossip goes that his wife walked in on them and then tom cruise's people had to go into spin control and paid her like, 5 million or something. and then, that's where katie holmes comes in, they needed someone to be tom's beard. anyway, that's the rob thomas interview i want to read.
Score = 0
oh wait. i should've clicked on your link, i would've saved myself some time with that other comment.
Score = 0
What else could they ask him? His music is so annoyingly harmless that there is nothing to talk about. What a tool. His solo shit makes the Matchbox 20 days sound like The Velvet Underground. Christ.
Score = 0
You people are only busting his balls to compensate for listening to "I Wanna Push You Around" 5000 times in 1997. Yeah, you don't know who Rob Thomas is. Right. Pussies.
Score = 0
You guys are totally wrong about Rob Thomas. (scroll halfway down)
Score = 0
You're so mean! why do you belive any of that shit anyway? i know for a fact that what the tabloids say is almost NEVER true!
Score = 0
Don't talk about Rob that way. You don't even know him. Everyboby starts romurus. People have started romures about you, well it is the same thing in the famous world, but it gets all around the world. Don't judge him when you don't even know him. Rob is my favorite singer and I am his #1 fan!! He is awesome and talented. You can't forget when he sings he looks so hot!!
Score = 0

I bet cEvin Key and Nivek Ogre are just heartbroken that you don't like their music, Robbie. XD
Score = 0
For all of you losers out there, your all jelous of him. Also, if you don't know his music, you dont know music at all. I don't know what you listen to, but it can't be good. He makes more money,number 1 hits and fans(females especially) and anything you have to say about him is insignificant. Send a picture and bio and we'll critic you.
Score = 0
you ppl r fucked up
Score = 0
hahaha, these last few comments are awesome. tell us some more why you like him, 14 year old girls!

You can't be 75058 serious?!?

What critics. Maybe I don't know good music, but I once was a huge fan and still am. Yes Matchbox 20 and Rob can be cheesy sometimes, but they seem like good guys. At least he puts his heart into his work. It takes courage and yes, sometimes drugs to be able to put yourself out there knowing FuckHeads like you are going to be judgemental Bastards. I highly doubt that any of you could even write a song, much less express any type of emotional depth.
