Spontaneously, I ran into longtime pal Paulie Miraldi, and we spent the evening together, complete with the requisite starfucker photo with Mr. Thomas. First time I've met him after all these years. Nice chat, swell guy, beautiful wife, tiny in stature.

LIFEbeat: Rob Thomas
Atlantic Records hosted a LIFEbeat (The Music Industry Fights AIDS) event to celebrate release of Rob Thomas' new solo album "Cradlesong" this evening at the Maritime Hotel in New York's Meatpacking district. Single "Her Diamonds" is No. 3 at adult top 40 radio, and charting at top 40 and triple A. It's also No. 26 on iTunes—an amazing feat considering there are 14 Michael Jackson songs ahead of it... Consider that if MJ hadn't died, theoretically, it would be No. 12.

Photo 2: We made him laugh... but—flash—his eyes were closed. This, cool cats, is why you always take two.
And here, Alyssa Pollock, whom I've known practically since day one at Billboard, with her assistant Emily, and Mr. Thomas.
