A new book that is being finished about Singing Star, TV Show host Tom Jones and may be released in installments by the The Wales Street Journal has left many disgusted and shaking their heads at the sordid past of the super singer.
Apparently, according to the Journal and in some American tabloids, Jones once drew unemployment before becoming a huge success.
"Jones has always been a hero of mine", stated Jonsie McKee, "but I'm going to have to think about all this news just now coming out."
Not only did Jones draw unemployment, he refused to take a regular job because he didn't want to miss any singing dates at the local clubs.
"Pretty Boy" didn't want to get his hands dirty according to a few of his fellow workers in the mines.
"He even sung a song about us. You know, 'working in the coal mines, going down, down, down' like that there. I could have written that if I hadn't been so busy going down in the coal mines to work, 'going down, down, down'...like that", stated Ralph Morgan.
"All those women screaming at Thomas John...made me sick. We're all old now so I wonder if anyone's screamed at him lately? Probably someone who's telling him to come back up on stage at an 'Golden Oldies" event", added Thom Griffith. "Maybe they're throwing adult diapers onto the stage! Hah!"
They added that Thomas Woodward (Jones) wasn't helping the needy way back then like he does now, because he WAS the needy during his early days of drawing unemployment paid in by others.
When asked about the 'Lay-About' accusations, Jones admitted it was true of him back then but that he's worked hard to try to outlive that bad reputation.
Some people get away with anything and apparently, our man Tom Jones, was one of them.
This is a very disappointed Dan Hilliard from UP2.
