What a randy sod you are Mr Jones, and what a patient and wonderful wife you have who is happy to be the traditional wife.
I personally have never seen the sex appeal of Tom Jones, and as for his sexist attitudes, I will put that down to be a product of his times and upbringing. What I will admit to is quite liking the man's voice, and conceding that I like his attitude toward his fans and the charity work he does.
This a good book, with parts that I am sure Tom Jones and his management would rather we not know about, but all in all, a good book on the life and times of Tom Jones.
