To my fellow Scout Fans, I have the chance to do the funniest thing ever.
So, for Halloween, I want to be Scout. I'm already trying to learn how to weld to make his earpiece.
However...
Tom Jones is coming to my area on Halloween... If I get a job and save up by then, I want to go to the concert in a full Scout fit and see Tom Jones live.
Do I think anyone at the concert will recognize me? No, it'll probably be a bunch of old people.
Sorry I haven’t posted in a while, I’ve been in another country and will be less active until mid August or so. I don’t have my iPad, so I’m limited to traditional
I’ll try and post more but I’m really busy and tired, but here’s tom jones scout
this years encore featured a cover of johnny b goode from chuck berry IM OBSESSED!!! my friend had fun too!! SO EVEN BETTER
during "you can leave your hat on" he absolutely flashbanged the audience by letting ALL LIGHTS turn on at once during the line "turn on the lights, ALL the lights", it was actually really funny HAHA
DELILAAAAHHH!!! everytime i hear it the song gets better!! amazing AS PER USUAL
this years vibes and audience was so much more cheerful and louder! last year it sometimes felt like i was the only one cheering HAHA BUT HEY
during green green grass of home a majority of the audience turned on their phones flashlights 😭 two people in the back started and slowly it got to us in the front! SO CUTE
a song that didnt play this year but played last year; no hole in my head! a bit sad, but im so glad he played it last year! SO HOORAY!
his voice, performance- wow... the charisma and energy is absolutely insane, i wouldnt believe hes 86!! my friend mostly came for sexbomb (and accompanying me!) but they too agreed it was AWESOME!
THATS IT FOR TONIGHT! <3
if youre curious, the full setlist is under the cut! most likely NOT in order, im trying to memorize what i can while i take the train home HAHA
My mother's favorite song of all time was "Begin the Beguine" and her favorite singer of all time was Tom Jones. In searching around one day, I was amazed to discover that Tom did a rendition of "Begin the Beguine" (and it's really good!). So I burned it to a CD with other of his greatest hits to play for her.
The next time I was driving Mom around on errands, I told her I had a surprise for her and hit "play" on the CD I'd created. She couldn't believe it! And when the song gets to the point around 1:56 where Tom really starts to belt it out, Mom gave such a exultant whoop of pure joy that it is one of my very favorite memories of her.
Anyway. It would have been Mom's birthday today. She died 6 years ago, but started fading into dementia about 10 years ago. I played this song for her 'til the very end.
