And I no longer have to wonder what it would be like to see a zombie in its panties have its stomach slit open with a pocket knife. It made me feel a little ashamed and sad, but there are probably some real sick puppies out there who get turned on by that kind of stuff!

It's your first Tom Jones concert. You're in the seventh row and the legendary entertainer looms before you in a smart charcoal suit and black T-shirt, thick, ringed fingers gripping the microphone in his left hand, his face like tanned leather.
