The totally D.I.Y. site was founded in 2001 and since then has become somewhat of an underground legend with more than 2 MILLION visitors per year reading my adventures since 2004.
..MISSION STATEMENT.. "Based on the belief that although we look different and have different customs, we all share the same love of Rock & Roll in all of it's various forms; Tom and his crew will span the globe attending various Rock & Roll festivals in different countries and post their photos, interviews, journals, observations, and tips on this website to show how it was done."

Donations
There are many costs to running the TATW website.
Those of you that enjoy the website know that it all happens with help from you. It has been completely funded by donations from fans. The easiest way for you to help the site is to make a donation of a dollar.
One dollar alone can't do much. (Let's face it; a buck won't even buy a soda any more.) But if you get enough people together with a dollar each, you could change the world.
If you like what I'm doing, Help Keep It Going!

For more than TEN YEARS, I was the sinister Minister of Propaganda and Singer for the infamous Syracuse, NY Punk band: Born Again Savages. We were THE LOUDEST and Longest-Lasting, continually performing Punk band in Central New York history. Here's part of one Review:
"The Sound of The American Dream Being Blown to Bits"
Born Again Savages - A quartet with screaming guitar, brutal drums, heavy bass and a crazed lead vocalist, the band's creedo is "Louder is Better!"
It is tempting to lump this group on the trashheap of shock-schlock, but the Savages' songs are simply better. Their twisted, often disturbing lyrics are served up with a side of Humor Noir that sets them apart from other nihilistic bands of the Punk genre.
Tom "The Sarge" Carpenter's lyrics and delivery are filled with passion - bent and twisted passion, but real passion nonetheless. His distinctive vocal style, scathing social commentary, and imposing stage presence make him the perfect frontman for the Savage's sonic whirlpool."
- Syracuse NewTimes Magazine
Unfortunately, All good things come to an end. In this case a
BAD one. But as they say: "Time Heals All Wounds" and the Savages reunited for one night only on
November 1st @ Lost Horizon.
Also on the bill were Special Guests:
Zadoc & The Nightmare and
Schmeid

Who I'd like to meet:
"...the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" - Jack Kerouac
NURTURE MY PIG!
MY TOP 16 FRIENDS..

Sure, many of these new stars burn brightly for a moment then fade away… But, for that Glorious and Legendary 15 Minutes, the Spotlight of the World shines on them.
And for some, if they’ve got the goods and are Lucky, (and I mean REALLY LUCKY…) they’ll be having a good hair day, remember their sunglasses, and people will love them forever.
Each month I will post 20 of the
COOLEST People, Bands, Writers, Artists, Businesses, & Organizations for you all to check out.
