TOM JONES' PANTY PLEA
contact music ^

Posted on 02/10/2005 7:54:19 PM PST by Lorianne

Welsh crooner TOM JONES has sent out a plea to his middle-aged female fans - to stop throwing their underwear at him.

The DELILAH singer, 64, has been showered with bras and panties for decades and is finally tiring of his fans' concert gestures.

Jones says, "I want it to end because it has lost all its meaning.

"When it first started, it was very sexy. A woman actually took her underwear off and threw it at me on stage. Nobody had ever done that before.

"It was very daring and very sexy. Then it became a joke.

"If I'm doing a ballad and trying to create a mood, then undies appearing from nowhere and then it's a problem. But you can't tell an audience what to do."

It probably was much better when the panties can off a 20 year old instead of a 50 year old woman.

Probably because he's 64 and his fans are all at least older middle-aged. A thong thrown by a 60 year-old doesn't have the same appeal.

There are worse items to be thrown at a man than womens' underwear....

Like mens' thongs.

Jones is probably distracted when those queen-sized stretch jobs come floatin' down like a parachute.

He's a fine looking man, but beside Elvis, he was a mutt. (I was watching biography channel and they showed him. He was a stunner. Then, they showed him talking to Elvis and he disappeared. Amazing.)

Y'all need to stop it. Older (what is this definition, anyway? What is 'older?') women are very sexy. confident, refined. Younger women have nothing on me.

He pretty much just described himself.

Methinks that is exactly what Tom is talking about.
