Veronica Mars

Success No Illusion For Rob Thomas Thomas envisioned George Michael on "Smooth." But Thomas's girlfriend, former Victoria's Secret model Marisol Maldonado, who happened to be the inspiration for his line "my Spanish Harlem Mona Lisa," thought he should do it. Now, Thomas has embarked on a third stage with "Something to Be." Released in April, it debuted at No. 1, the first solo debut by a male artist from a rock or pop group to do that since Billboard introduced its album chart 50 years ago. Thomas, who used to sit in front of a bedroom mirror playing string-less guitar to his mother's records, says that as turbulent as his life may have been, "there were never hurricanes when I lived" in Orlando, at least until the NSync/Backstreet Boys era. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/10/13/AR2005101300546_pf.html   (1227 words)

Lost (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Numerous writers have taken to journeying to Hawaii to find the locations in which episodes are set. Encouraged by Lost's writers and stars—who often interact with fans both online and in person—viewers and TV critics alike have taken to rampant theorization in an attempt to unravel the mysteries, even spawning parodies of such over-theorizing.

Amazon.com: Something to Be: Music: Rob Thomas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) It's common knowledge that solo albums are simply an excuse for a frustrated band member to indulge their experimental sides and Rob Thomas, singer for decidedly M.O.R. multiplatinum rockers Matchbox Twenty is not one to pass on the opportunity. Although Rob has been quoted as saying this is a CD full of songs in the styles of "latin/funk/soul/blues," the combination and the way the songs are arranged is extremely pleasing to the ear and not at all out of control as one writer implied. Here Rob sings about a man who is looking for "something to be"-a song of pain and the natural need for machismo-not to mention the general human need to feel important. www.amazon.com /Something-Be-Rob-Thomas/dp/B0007TKHHK   (1988 words)

For Thomas, that means Austin, where he'll be Jan. 14 and 15, joined by Veronica Mars cast members Kristen Bell (Veronica Mars), Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls), and Enrico Colantoni (Keith Mars) for a Veronica Marsathon at the Alamo Drafthouse Downtown. By his own admission, Thomas "is one of those infuriating people who enjoyed high school." A 1983 graduate of San Marcos High, he was a proud (but apparently likable) high school jock. At least in Thomas' Neptune High, the weight of that hell is alleviated by a clever bon mot, a well-timed retort, appropriate retributions, and, what the heck, some real heart. austinchronicle.com /issues/dispatch/2006-01-13/screens_feature.html   (2595 words)

Artist Profile - Rob Thomas Independent of the band, Rob's growing reputation as an exceptional songwriter has led to invitations to collaborate with a select list of artists - most notably Santana, for whom he wrote and sang the multiple Grammy-winning "Smooth." But despite his remarkable achievements, Rob found himself at a crossroads. Working without the safety net of four other "censors," as Rob calls his matchbox bandmates, proved to be both a liberating and challenging experience. Equally important to Rob as the diversity of the album's sounds and styles was that it not be a mere collection of songs, but reflect a personal and musical journey. www.emimusicpub.com /worldwide/artist_profile/rob-thomas_profile.html   (1385 words)

Ypulse: Media for the Next Generation Rob Thomas (who was incredibly sweet, humble and gracious) in some ways represented the old guard -- high quality scripted shows with big budgets (though compared to other scripted shows, I'm sure "Veronica" gets peanuts). It was funny because when Rob was talking about this cool interactive thing he wanted to do with fans, he spoke about it as a feature on the DVDs first, then kind of mentioned it could be online, too. I also love that Rob was drinking red wine during the panel, embracing the casual spirit of the venue and the conversation. ypulse.com /archives/2007/02/rob_thomas_virt.php   (988 words)

In 1998, I was President of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America; prior to that I founded the Canadian Region of SFWA, and spent three years on SFWA's Board of Directors as the first-ever Canadian Regional Director.
