WOW…

So I'm laying in my bed tonight & sometimes that is when I come up with the most natural & free-flowing thoughts in my mind.

At night. In the dark. All alone. In my bed.

So, I'm still thinking about the concert I went to a couple of nights ago.

Tom Jones…

TOM JONES!!! 🎵🎵🎵

Yeah, my first crush that I finally saw 50 years later than when he became an icon in my mind. So I gave my age away you say? I really don’t mind. Because this guy is 82 years old & still singing & still moving & still grooving. An 82-year old man who still sings the song “Sexbomb” at a concert venue with no qualms at all & no hangups either.

He doesn't really care about whether his fans will still be fans because he knows they probably still will be & who cares anyways? He's singing about his own sexual fantasy! 👄

I never heard the song before performed live & to be honest, I was expecting “She's A Lady” instead. That song was the one I think we were all waiting for. That was the song alot of us came for.

But it never came.

What came was “Sexbomb” instead. It never dawned on me that someone his age would even think about having sex anymore, but apparently I was wrong.

82-year old men apparently still think about it, think about doing it, think about wanting to do it, think about when they used to do it, think about wishing they could still do it, thinking about when they are going to do it again.

And I’m not quite sure if it is ALL men his age or if it is just Tom Jones trying to be a crowd-pleaser. Either way, it doesn't matter. I think I want to have more sex now!!! Hahaha!!!

There were background graphics & beautiful colors & digitally enhanced images to top it all off. It was hypnotic & trance-inducing. Very sensual.

What blew me away were the moves he still had while he was sitting in his chair. You could actually imagine him swinging his hips in spite of the fact he was physically limited. His whole body gyrated & he showed off some upper-body moves that left the imagination run a little wild.

However, the old-fashioned girl in me really wanted to hear “She's A Lady.” My sister-in-law told me that he never sings that song anymore because he is paying homage to his late wife in that respect. Maybe he gets a little teary-eyed & nostalgic when he sings it & feels that she was the “lady” in his real life. I’m really not quite sure why & I'll probably never really know. (Awwww…💘)

All I know is that anyone who is a legend & has lasted 50 years in the entertainment business & is still a sex symbol at that age, he can do any song he damn well wants. His vocals were outstanding, nonetheless. Even if you took away the background screens & perfect musicians playing beside him.

I actually closed my eyes for a few seconds during the concert just to hear how he sounded without any help from the visual cues that surrounded him.

It was deep & throaty & gifted & unapologetic. A little husky…

The way I remembered him when I was just a little girl & he brought chills down my spine.

I won't lie. I really wanted to hear some of his older songs. There is a part of me that is a bit wispy & nostalgic & reminiscing is a bittersweet feeling I like when I'm sitting in a crowd with the lights dim. Music should sweep you away & make you feel a little heady & romantic. 🎵🎵🎵

But I’ll take this one. I'll take the “Sexbomb” song at this time in my life. This time in my life when I feel the least sexy I ever felt about myself. True, really.

Maybe I needed someone older than me to make me feel less old about myself? I’m not sure. I won't try to read too deeply into it. All I can say is Tom is still sexy to me. He takes a lot of risks at his age. Some of you can say that is because he can afford to. I say it's because he WANTS to.

Ahhh…

My first crush. All grown up now. 50 years later.

Still the sexbomb to me...
