honestly.. i wanna know if EVERYTHING he writes is from personal experience and i also heard hes an aquarius and i find that impossible..im married to an aquarius and he NEVER gets me and if he is drawing from his opinions and experience then it is wayyy impossible for him to be an aquarius also at "the fall frenzy" in tempe in az are you going to do the sit out front meet and greet thing ive heard that you do for all your other concerts?

ooops ment #12wounderful.

I have 2 favorit- mabe some day #4 on the sound track and #1 Jimmie-

Well this is my second attempt at a ask Rob a question, my question is , I would like to make sure In am not insane, but didnt your grandmother live near downtown columbia, near the Sc state fairgrounds and ballfield, I remember playing with a girl named missy and she had a brother a little younger than me, and his name was Rob, I know it is you...just would love some confirmation on this. PLEASE ANSWER !! Angie

Your love for Marisol shines through in your music...and it's a beautiful thing. What was it about her that made her THE ONE for you?

Hi Rob! I just want to say that I think you are the greatest songwriter out there today. Your lyrics always make me feel like you looked into my life and wrote about me. My question is when did you first realize that you could write songs for a living and not just for yourself.

Hi Mr. Thomas. (You're a couple of years older than me so I'm showing respect to my elders, ha!) I have been a huge fan of the music and especially your lyrics since I first heard "Push". Your words are beautiful and even when singing about a negative event they are timeless. OK, OK, I had to say that. Anyways, have you and Mrs. Thomas given thought to expanding Sidewalk Angels Foundation? I'm in Ohio and I think it's wonderful to see a famous person giving back. If you ever branch out to Ohio I'd love to help. I have 18 cats, 9 dogs (1 tripod), 1 rabbit, 1 horse (a Mustang), 1 guinea pig, 1 turtle and a Rhode Island Red rooster. All of them were rescues/strays/adopted from shelters and are spayed or neutered. It's nice to know that someone famous has a sweet heart like us common folk do. Keep up the great work. You're the only celebrity worth following on Twitter. You know, I've been dying to know if you were ever left at a Rest Stop. My brother and I both think The Difference is the most beautiful song because we can "feel" it. If they pass all of this on to you thank you for reading it. Blessings to Marisol and yourself.

Do: "I' need Jennifer as my femail

Hi Rob, I think that you and your wife's humanitarian efforts with Sidewalk Angels Foundation is incredible. What inspired you to start the foundation? Thank you for using your celebrity for the people and animals that most need it.

Hi Rob! Just wanted to know what your favorite thing is to do when you're not working (and do you have much down time?). Keep making great music, we love it! Will see you at the Borgata.

Rob, congrats on your success and beautiful marriage! What is your biggest challenge as a songwriter?

Off all your songs solo or with MatchboxTwenty. Which song gets you emotional when you perform it?

Aside from writing songs about Mari, and your dog, and 3am about dealing with your mom when she was ill, are there any other songs you have written about any other family members? Or that stemmed from specific experiences with them??

Hey Rob, Is there an instrument that you would like to learn how to play? Does exploring new sounds spark you? Do you listen for unique beats from odd sources? Does waiting in an airport with comedian airport staff drive your batty? Keep smiling, Lorraine

Hi Rob, I know your a fan of the 80's and alot of your new songs on Cradlesong sound like they fell right out of that era. My question to you is, What 80's movie and or character best describes you and WHY?

Hi,Rob! You were superpopular in 2000-2005...I think you should remember old times and make a new hit with Santana to rock the music world again...It would be great! I like your album "Something to be"... If you have an opportunity - come to Baku (Azerbaijan)...we`re very musical people and we appreciate good music! I`d like to hear "Smooth" live on our stage...Good louck!

Hi Rob! Is there anyone from your past that once told you you werenâ€™t going to make it â€” that youâ€™d like to "accidently" run into so you could fill them in on the last couple of years? Could be a funny scene :)

Hi Rob. After all the years, all the accomplishments, and all the sweat and tears you've put into your career, does it bother you when the media coins you as "Mom Rocker"? It bothers me. Thank you. Joan Gallagher/Jacksonville FL
