What Can We Say About Sir Tom On Tuesday? Once Again, Pure Magic
Wednesday, May 21st, 2008
Yes, we say it again and again — Tom is great. We know that. We also know it’s difficult to define what makes him so.
Tonight, the night before he closes this run at the MGM, we sat with our good friend from the UK (a good friend we met thought tji.com) and two women from San Francisco, long-time fan Debbie and her cousin Amy. Sitting at table 5, they had a ball, loving every minute.
Also in the audience was an assortment of women of all ages who had never seen Tom before. Of course, it’s nothing new that he he was smokin’— he most always is. But to see these women who appeared to be well into middle age, dancing in the aisles, cheering and having a ball, was terrific.
While it’s nothing new, we have to say that once again we were struck by the magic that is Tom Jones.
You see, this man, after all these years, has the amazing, probably singular, ability to make every woman in his audience feel beautiful, sexy and desirable. And, mostly, the men who accompany the women get a real kick out of it sensing, somehow, that they’ll reap the benefit of it all. It is, in addition to his voice, his gift.
Tom gives the gift of happiness and it is a rare gift. We should cherish it and the person who gives it.
Once again, we must say we’re lucky to have had the Tom Jones experience. Please share yours with us.
Tom’s jacket is like that because the photographer caught him in motion. There’s nothing wrong with the hem or the tailoring.

Nice rear view, his hair looks great considering he turns 68 in a couple of weeks.

Tom is a marvel and so unique. I can’t understand what the non fans don’t like in him.

Martine-
I call it TJ ENVY, which I just delicately explained to our friend from the Portland, Oregon newspaper. Have you read that article?! The man is daft. Lovingly daft, but daft all the same.

Sorry, I got a bit emotional here-it was Mr. Patrick of SEATTLE, WA.. All the same he is daft..
