What’s New Pussycat? Whoaoo-oaoo-oaoo-whoa! Tom Jones says, It’s Not
UNUSUAL
to hit a bit of writers block, but that’s old news.
What is also not unusual is that, like many other entertainment personalities, the Welsh singer, TOM JONES, isn’t. He is Sir Thomas John Woodward OBE. Jones is the most common Welsh surname, although there does not seem to be any among his immediate ancestors.
I can find no proof that he assumed the name Tom Jones because of a desire to reference the raunchy 1749 English novel with that name, which enjoyed a resurgence and republishing, just as he was beginning his public career.
Still, at the height of his popularity, inside industry observers estimated that he was having sex with up to 250 female fans per year. His son/manager says that he is astounded and embarrassed that even into his 60s and 70s, female audience members were throwing panties with their phone number onstage.
So, I you got screwed without even a kiss, because Creativity bailed out and went for a beer, Desperation moved into the pilot’s seat, and barely landed a post with a U word in it.
I could go on a #MeToo rant, about guys like Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, Peter Nygard, Jeffrey Epstein, Randy Prince Andy, Keith Raniere and Bill Cosby. Men like this regard themselves, and are regarded by others, as alpha males, somehow entitled to unlimited sex with an unlimited number of females. Sadly, these actions and attitudes are also not unusual. Cosby’s only difference was that he had a kink where he preferred his victims unconscious. All they have done is bring the concept of droit du seigneur up to date into the modern, electronic age.
I won’t do that (Too late!) because this post is already too depressing. I’ll have something a little more upbeat in a couple of days. C U then. 😀
I was a little too young for the whole Tom Jones experience. For which I think I’m grateful..

Yes, it’s probably just as well. Before COVID, I wonder what diseases he was spreading. We’re lucky that narcissism isn’t contagious. 😉 🙄

I am finally over the urge to shout, “See what I did.” I changed the graphic with no announcement or fanfare. I am happy that you noticed. Don’t sweat having followers. I put this blog out for my own enjoyment. After over nine years, it’s finally starting to generate a little heat. 🙂 🌯
