It Isn't a Sign of the End of the World
But it should be! Tom Jones is to be knighted.
I know it's all a matter of taste and Jones has outlasted many of his contemporaries. But it is hard to picture a guy who sang stuff like What's New Pussycat? and Delilah receiving the same honor as Winston Churchill and Lawrence Olivier, or Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney, for that matter.

I guess it's not unusual to be knighted by anyone.
Matt:
That cracks my family and me up!

Sir Tom? Or will it be Sir Thomas? I mean, that has a better ring to it. He won't be called Sir TJ will he? But what's good about this is that now there is hope for me. And Peter Tork.
Dan:
I definitely think that Tom's knighthood indicates that everybody--maybe even Yanks--have a chance.
Thanks for dropping by!
