Tom Jones has recorded a single with Jack White. The song will be backed with Tom's version of blues singer Howlin' Wolf's track 'Evil (Is Going On)' and the record will be released as part of Jack's 'Blue' series, which has pressed one-off seven inch records by a diverse range of artists from blues greats such as Blind Willie McTell to rap group Insane Clown Posse. The 'It's Not Unusual' crooner has re-recorded a version of his 2002 song 'Jezebel' with the former White Stripes frontman Jack for his Third Man record label. Of his sessions with 71-year-old Tom at his Nashville, Tennessee, studio, Jack told Mojo magazine: "He impressed the s**t out of everybody." Tom has a history of working younger artists, singing duets with stars including Stereophonics, Robbie Williams, the Cardigans and Natalie Imbruglia on his 199 album 'Reload', which revitalised his career.

&Nbsp; A bad start to the year for Richard, as on New Year's Day he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in a skiing accident. The next person to be invited to speak for this series was His Holiness the Dalai Lama. However, by January 25, Richard was able to make light of his injury by dressing as a pirate to give a speech at the Living Peace Series, an event organized by the recently launched, and Gandhian-inspired, Center for Living Peace. (In keeping with this spiritual theme, it is fitting that one of the Centre for Living Peace's five founding board members, Richard Reoch, is a devotee of Chogyam Trungpa.)

Just a few days later, Richard blogged that he had been invited by Brazil's ex-president (and former Rockefeller Foundation trustee) Fernando Henrique Cardoso to join the Global Commission on Drug Policies. Richard's connection to Cardoso (the Commission's chair) came through the latter's membership of The Elders, a group of elite leaders -- formed in 2007 with the aid of Richard -- whose work is headed by the former international advocacy director of George Soros's Open Society Institute (Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau). On the Global Commission, Richard worked under the Commission's honorary chair, the former US secretary of state George Shultz, a well-known individual who presently serves on the advisory board of a less well-known group known as Spirit of America, which promotes a new " participatory militarism ," "in which humanitarian development projects service the cultural reinvention of the military to justify and extend US imperialism."
