We had Matchbox Twenty on the show awhile back. After not touring for five years they decided to introduce an acoustic set in addition to their rock set featuring instruments no one's ever heard of and that none of them knew how to play. They spent a week here rehearsing the same song for literally 14 hours a day, all the while producing banter on par with a Blink 182 concert.
One day Rob kept dropping It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia references. On and on he kept quoting lines to deadpan stagehands. At one point he asked into the microphone, "Anyone know what I'm talking about, anyone, anyone at all?"
Isreal, the then new PA, looked around and meekly raised his hand.
"Alright, awesome, what's your name man?"
"Isreal."
"Gabriel. Cool, you're in our club now man."
A) We really need to start calling him Gabriel again.
B) Gilreath sent me an article today about how the new season is starting that had this sentence in it: "There is a ton to look forward to, a ton to look back on and if you still need convincing - expect guest starring roles from Sinbad and his rehab bitch, Rob Thomas. No joke."
Amazing.
Updates to come. I have lots of crazy stories from the last two weeks.
