I used to watch the Tomorrow show every night. Back then I was in my early 20’s, but Tom was interesting and very hip. His outlook and demeanor was not a show. It was Tom. Some may say he was “just a personality.” Okay, but it wasn’t an act. Tom was gutsy and he was himself, which I appreciated and respected a whole lot. That’s why I tried to stay in contact with him through his website until it left. His outlook was very real and NO ONE pulled the wool over Tom’s face. So that’s how he connected with a young , strong-willed guy like me. Tom wasn’t legendary Haha. WEll.. he is to me. I’m feeling really down.
