Rob Thomas may be on top of the world with his new album, cradlesong, and Lyric Culture clothing line in stores now, but he also appreciates the simple things.
“I’m a green grape guy because they’re easy, they’re quick, and you don’t feel so bad after you eat a thousand of them,” the rock star, 37, tells me of his favorite snack during a Bloomingdale's event feting his clothing endeavor.
His favorite drink?
“I like a cold Stella. Everybody needs a good beer every now and then, and that’s the best.”
The three-time Grammy winner admits he has no secret vices.
“I don’t believe in guilty pleasures,” he says. “I think you should own up to it. So if I listen to Britney Spears, I’m cool with it – I have no problem. If it’s good, I like it.”
And if he’s taking wife Marisol, whom he married in 1999, on vacation, ideally, they’re going to Kona, Hawaii. “There’s a resort there that has – even when it’s full to capacity, you can’t even tell. It feels like nobody’s there.”
