Tommy! How terrific to see you here, as well as on your morning walks and all else Feel the Rhythm. I too adore Eleanor, No Judgement, and dear Tess. And, man, can I relate to that sickening feeling of recognition when someone gives voice to something you're, gulp, also doing. I will continue to read you both feverishly, emotional discomfort and all. Thanks to you both!
You all shoulda seen Tommy wreak havoc and beauty with his mouth and ragged soul back in the LA day at weekly “Poetry in Motion” readings on Kosher Kanyon’s Fairfax Avenue. He was fierce, funny, ferocious, & fearless. A coooool motherfucking runner.
I love Tommy’s writing so much. Thankful for Deirdre for putting me on. Glad he’s getting his flowers on here. Really enjoyed getting to see him answer these questions in the most Tommy way possible.
One - I LOVE Cool Runnings it is part of my family lore and literally one of my all time favourite movies. Two - the first answer is hilarious. Do you do stand up?
i love this man.
Never lose that groove!!

I enjoyed all of this, especially the In Judgment riff. High quality Fan fiction!
I'm going to start reading Tommy even if he and I are the same age, both born in NYC, and he was undoubtedly so much cooler than me both then and now.
Plus, his name is familiar to me from 40 plus years ago.
Right?! This makes me want more fan fiction!
Literally one of the highlights of my writing life 😂
"Oh Eleanor, even Tessa knows we have to take it one day at a time." !! 🙌 Long live the King.
🙌🙌🙌 Long live the King. I really think this interview is one of the highlights of my life.

I wish I’d seen it

“I don’t lose my groove, that’s all I got” is all you need to know.
So noted
This was fun and irreverent. Looking back at my 8 responses, I suddenly feel so... nice/polite/presumptuous/pompous/whiny/needy/basic. Eww.
Furiously emailing Eleanor to change my answers before they go live lol...
Or leaving it alone, because I'm a rebel like that.
😂
Tommy broke the mold 😂
Oh man this is genius! Is it too late for me to completely rewrite mine? I wish I could write with such humor and honesty.
not too late! if you mean it.... email me x
Hahaha I loved this
I think he's an actual genius
He is frank and does not want to pretend anything. But he is moving in his direction, and that is very valuable.
what a cool ...I forgot the word. no, I'm not under the influence, even though I'd probably benefit from being under it
thank you!
Such a joy to feature TS
