Saturday 9

Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Hurt So Bad (1980)
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…


Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) Do you have any aches or pains this morning?
Ha! Are you kidding? I’m in my late 70s, and every morning is a challenge.

2) In this song, Linda Ronstadt complains that her ex doesn't get what she's going through. Have you recently felt misunderstood?
Many, many times!

3) Now let's put a positive spin on it: Is there someone in your life who gets you completely?
My brother

4) Linda recorded a best-selling album in Spanish, and has also performed in French, German and Italian. How many languages do you speak?
I have trouble with just one.

5) Linda once dated George Lucas of Star Wars fame. Who is your favorite Star Wars character?
Princess Leia

6) Steve Martin has spoken affectionately about Linda and their romance in the 1970s. Are you a Steve Martin fan?
Nope. I’m not a fan of his type of humor.

7) Linda worked consistently and successfully with record producer Peter Asher throughout the 70s and 80s. Tell us about someone you enjoyed working beside.
Oh wow… that is like going back almost 20 years. We had a good crew where I worked we were together for 25 years!

8) In 1980, when this song was popular, People magazine named author Stephen King one of the year's most intriguing people. Have you read any of his books or short stories?
Naw, I don’t like horror stories with monsters.

9) Random question: Looking back on last week, would you describe it as exciting or boring?
Boring, the same old, same old.


Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

  1. Not all the Stephen King books have monsters -- at least not supernatural ones. You might like Misery or Delores Claiborne. I find he can write fascinating, multi-dimensional female characters.

  3. I love Leia. I knew she was a different kind of princess when she was better at rescuing herself than Han and Luke.

  8. My grandmother use to tell us grandchildren that those minor aches and pains of youth will come back to haunt us when we get older. So true!
