Crazy Sam’s Saturday 9: Too Close (2011)
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) This song is about a friendship that turned romantic ... and it doesn't end happily. Have you ever crossed that line with a friend? If so, how did it work out?
Nope. I don’t know anyone where this worked, they always broke up.
2) When he was a kid, this week's singer, Alex Clare, listened to his dad's Stevie Wonder records. When you were in 7th/8th grades, what music were you into?
Isley Brothers, Twist And Shout
The Temptations, My Girl
The Supremes, Stop In The Name Of Love
The Zombies, She's Not There
The Animals. We Gotta Get Out Of This Place & House Of The Rising Sun
But the great era of “Rock & Roll” started in my 11th grade and ended when I graduated from college; disco we just starting then… blah.
3) "Too Close" has been featured on the TV show, The Vampire Diaries. Do you enjoy shows/books/movies about the supernatural?
Nope, but I love science fiction and fantasy
4) Some of Alex Clare's tour dates were sponsored by Bud Light. Do you like beer?
I never was a big fan of beer, give me a rum & coke any day (back when I was young, now alcohol is a no, no.)
5) Mr. Clare trained to be a chef, just in case the music thing didn't work out. Are you a good cook?
I’m a fair cook, I like to experiment.
6) Crazy Sam is forever running out of mayo because she slathers it on her sandwiches. What is currently on your grocery list?
I just went shopping a few days ago so the list is short. Egg, pickles, oranges and coffee (but coffee is just on the list to check for sales, if the brands I like I’ll pick some up.)
7) Where are you most likely to find spare change -- between the sofa cushions, in your jeans as you toss them into the washer, or under the floor mat of your car?
Two main places, the bottom of my pocketbook or in the cup holder in my car.
8) How did you spend your Friday night -- working late, hanging out with friends, or just enjoying a quiet night at home?
A quiet night at home, I did get much sleep Thursday night so I crashed early, around 10:30
9) Do you use Pinterest?
No I use Picasa, blogger posts their pictures there so I see no need to post to more than one photo site.

Love your taste in music.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great playlist!
ReplyDeleteI wish my sisters had liked rock instead of disco. Now, I don't like disco but I love rock. :-)
ReplyDeleteDiana you have to check out Pinterest. It isn't for posting picures. It is for posting marvelous things that you find online like recipes, projects, things you want to buy etc. And a good rum and coke sounds yummy. You must be close to my age: I remember all those songs
ReplyDeleteYours is a good list....but was more like high school for me.
ReplyDeleteCatch up sleep is something I do on a regular basis. I'm an early crasher more these days!
