Is Tommy James the “Tom” Part of Toms River?
TOMMY JAMES of the Shondells lives in Cedar Grove, but you would think that perhaps he is the TOM in TOMS RIVER. I noticed recently that there is both a CRIMSON Road and a CLOVER Road (as in the classic number 1 hit "CRIMSON AND CLOVER") in the same basic area of Toms River. I notice odd things such as this.Obviously, I have no life. It's purely coincidental, but fun to ponder.
