Two mysteries solved
For a long time, I’m sure you have wondered the same things as I have. When Matchbox Twenty first became famous, Rob Thomas had no hands:
Yet in recent years, he is often seen in t-shirts with hands displayed for all to see. This raises two obvious questions.
- What happened to his hands?
- Where did he get new ones?
Well, I was listening to “If You’re Gone” tonight, and I realized the first question was answered in the lyrics:
“I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need
More than you mind”
It turns out that, in fact, he could NOT stay there. This cost him his hands. Now, while looking for the above picture, I found this. It has photographs of Rob Thomas getting his new hands made. What is surprising is that Christina Aguilera, Ja Rule, Ashanti, and John Rzeznik also had new hands made. Who knew?!
