Rob Thomas Pays David Bowie a Surprise Visit
One night David Bowie was sitting on his couch in his house in New York thinking about the success of his latest album, "Heathen." Just then he heard something near his kitchen window. "What's that?" he asked himself. He then said to himself, "Well Ziggy, (that's what he doesn't admit he calls himself now and then--when he's alone) sitting here doing nothing won't help! It seems I've got to investigate."
He immediately got up and walked into the kitchen and looked about. He went to the window and looked out and, not seeing anything because of the reflection, he went over and turned off the light and look out again. This time instead of seeing nothing he saw something... he opened the window and stuck his head out saying, "Who's that?"
Very quickly he heard a voice say, "no one Mister Bowie."
He knew that this voice was not to be trusted and he said, "Now look, I know some one's out there because I can hear you. Silly young man, tell me who you are."
"Well," the voice began, "I'm Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20."
"Matchbox what? Oh well, I don't care. What are you doing lurking about in my bushes?"
"I...I was just looking for something."
"Oh really? Well I don't believe you," said David Bowie.
"You're right! I'm so sorry Mister Bowie it's just that I really wanted to know what it's like being you." and with that rob Thomas ran off into the night.
