Sam’s Saturday 9: Valentine (1993)
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
This song was specially chosen for the Saturday 9 closest to Valentine's Day.
1) This is a love song written by Willie Nelson for his young son. Have you sent any Valentines this year to someone you love who isn't a romantic partner?
Nope
2) Today that little boy, Lukas, is a singer/songwriter who wrote eight of the songs for the 2018 A Star Is Born soundtrack. Have you seen the Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga big screen romance?
Nope… is this going to be an easy Sat. 9
3) On Valentine's Day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell patented the first telephone. Who did you most recently speak to on the phone?
A computer.
Update 3:30 It was CVS calling, press 1 to refill your prescription
4) Penicillin was also introduced on Valentine's Day (in 1929). When you get a shot, do you look away when the needle touches your skin?
Yes.
5) According to legend, a gift of red roses signifies love and romance. When did you last purchase flowers or plants? Did you buy them for yourself, or someone else?
Me.
6) This week's artist, Willie Nelson, can trace his family tree back to the Revolutionary War. Captain John Nelson served with the Minutemen back in 1776. If you could go back in time to witness any great moment in American history, which would you choose?
The selling of Manhattan to the Dutch. I would be shouting… “Don’t do it! You will be sorry.”
7) Before he became a musical success, Willie was a door-to-door salesman, peddling first Bibles, then vacuum cleaners. INC magazine tells us that the traits of successful salespeople include resilience and good listening skills. Do you think you'd make a good sales person?
Nope. I would take no for an answer.
8) In 1993, when this song came out, Saved by the Bell aired its series finale. Crazy Sam likes to tease her brother because he once admitted to her that he has seen all 86 episodes of this teen sitcom. Is there a show that you believe you've seen every episode?
Well Star Trek of course.
I just have to hear them speak one line and I know what show it is from.
9) Random question -- We're having milkshakes! What's your favorite flavor?
Chocolate!

You remind me of my oldest friend. She can walk past the TV, catch sight of Shatner in front of a fake rock, and say, "Oh, this is the one where Kirk fights with the Gorn."
ReplyDeleteI have never watched an episode of Star Trek. Have a great Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI am a Chocolate milkshake gal too. I like to try all of the different places that have them to see which one I like the best. I like Chick-fil-a and DQ they have really good ones, but I would never turn one down from anywhere. Loved your answers! Have a great weekend!

#3--I forgot about that! I did one of those to activate a gift card.
ReplyDeleteYay, chocolate and Star Trek! That's the ticket.
ReplyDelete"Taking no for an answer" that's my problem with sales, too! They say "no" and I say "okay."
