Actually, Tom Jones is one heck of an entertainer and still going strong. When I saw him, here in SF, a few months ago, the crowd was very eclectic. I saw everything from 16 year old girls with their mothers, to a large contingent of blue haired lady's who appeared to have just came off the tour bus from the rest home.
All in all, I would say it was a most enjoyable evening.
Van the man?
