Comments on: Inside Scoop Says, “I just read this review. It’s awesome!

It's especially refreshing to know that this was apparently written by a man who totally admires and respects our Sir Jones. And I loved the comment about "he even pulled off a bit of rap with a sly, self-aware sense of humor." I do believe that I am beginning to think that his sense of humor is one of the sexiest things about him.</p> <p>I also have to agree with Marian regarding tossing things up to Tom. Whenever I've been at concerts and see something about to be tossed, I have an urge to yell "Incoming!" in case Tom needs to duck! I understand why the fans feel the need to throw things on stage, especially when the security guards are so "secure" in their duties. However, I also know that if every person who wanted to present something to Mr. Jones was allowed up front, the show would be at least three hours long. Guess it's a Catch 22...</p> <p>And in response to Charlene and the moderator...yes, you are definitely teasing us with that little blip about how great the show was! You can't tell us that he's HOT HOT HOT!! and not go into details! Even though we all know he's hot, we need specifics! Come on, girlfriend, spill the beans!</p> Although I always look forward to Scoop’s reviews, I have to say that Mr. Haymes did a good job of filling her shoes this time!
