Mr. Tom,
  you are pretty much my morning jacket to the very central most of core.  without meaning disrespect to the other members of the band.  "Two Tone" Tommy and Jim James are the reason we as fans are lucky enough to enjoy them today.   He didn't quit, jim and tommy stuck it out the whole way.  fucking awesome and a ridiculous amount of respect for it.  My Morning Jacket wouldn't be My Morning Jacket without your presence.  and that video of you poppin out from under the car smilin still makes me crack up a little sometimes haha.  thanks for twerkin it hard as hell and continually morphing your wonderful tones as the band continues.  So now, you guys are playing MSG.  you fuckers did it.  everything else is all you mother fuckers.  TEAR THAT SHIT APART.  MAKE PEOPLE BEG FOR IT.  you deserve it Tom you thump deep, real deep.

sincerely,
a dude who loves music

Comedy gold, BM, although thumping deep sounds possibly kind of disgusting.  But I'm sure it's totally innocent.  Like Corn Holing?  Holeing?  Corn Hole?  You know, that white trash bean bag game?  If it's not white trash and I've just offended all Corn Hole people, I am sorry.

You would think I'm drunk, but Fran abstains.

Corn HOle.  :o

Its white trash when you call it corn hole, its not white trash when you call the same thing simply 'bags.' If you've never played it, its actually a damn fun summer drinking game.

And also, I too am damn proud of the boys for rockin a MSG NYE show. Greatest band of the present and possibly (indeed hopefully) far into the future.

Before my first MMJ show I was walking around the venue. And in the back was TTT smoking. I only knew MMJ by their music, i only say a couple pics. I approached him and asked if he was the drummer. He kindly replied No and said he played bass. I apologized and said i loved your music but hadnt yet become familiarized with the members. he was very forgiving and said we really appreciate that you enjoy our music and shook my hand. That was the moment I fell in love with Tom.

My heart it beats BECAUSE of you Tom.    Sometimes at a rate it shouldn't be.

Yes, yes he is. I will forever be indebted to him for the bad ass hook up of back stages passes for me and the boy.

Tom made my daughter's night last year in Indy. 
Remembered her in the front row, picture op, autograph, and response on twitter.
It was her first rock show, I think she is a fan now.

Parents, turn your kids on to the music you like, thats how it last forever! ;D

But such a snappy dresser. Plus he reads comics, plays bass on Cobra and It Beats 4 U, and has fucked around with Primus songs at sound checks.

Rock on, Two Tone.

Anyone who can thump the bass that hard and do it while being so impeccably dressed is a smooth operator.
