Can I tile over a hardwood counter top?

I have a "butcher block" counter top and I hate it. At least I hate the part that goes around the sink. It is always damp and I'm afraid it will rot. Can I tile over the wood counter top?I have tile and I know how to lay it. I just don't know if I would be shooting myself in the foot, so to speak, if I put the tile directly on the wood. There is already a tile backsplash behind the counter.
