America got quite a cultural wake up call watching American Idol Wednesday night. After Scotty McCreery, who’s bent is toward country music, won the singing competition, and got to meet Carrie Underwood backstage, the show ended with a performance by Sir Tom Jones. Tom Jones, born June 7, 1940, is now 71 years old and from a time, the 1960s, of Go-Go Girls, James Bond, and his own show, demonstrated to a whole new audience that he’s not only still got it, but at a high level.
