Saturday 9: I'll Be Loving You (Forever)

I'll Be Loving You (Forever)

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: I'll Be Loving You (Forever) – 1989

On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…

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

 

1) A Greek philosopher said, "There is nothing permanent except change." The New Kids on the Block sang, "I'll be loving you forever." Who do you think is right? Or can both be right?

Change bring old things in a new wrapper.

2) In this week's song, New Kids lead singer Jordan Knight sings that he can't take a broken heart. What advice would you give someone struggling through the end of a romance?

Don’t burn your bridges, all the romances that I had all ended as friends. We are still friends, we just realized that it wasn’t romantic.

3) Jordan was invited to join the New Kids on the Block by his friend, Donnie Wahlberg. Has a friend ever gotten you a job? 

Actually yes!

I mentioned to a friend that I was going for a job interview at a electronics plant, he said he had an interview there the week before and they asked you about SCRs [They are used in light dimmers] so I went and dusted off my electronics book.

I aced the interview! A number of years later and told my boss the story and he laughed, he said that I was the only one to answer the questions correctly!

4) Donnie began his show business career as a singer/rapper. Now he's probably better known as an actor, appearing for 14 seasons on a popular police show. Can you name it?

Donnie who?

You have to realize that when I think the song, I’m think of the Marshal Tucker Band.

5) Much of the video for this song was filmed in the gymnasium of Xavier High School in New York City. When is the last time you were in a high school gym?

Last year… well technically it was an elementary school gym to vote.

6) The video also shows the boys enjoying pizza. What toppings are on your dream pizza?

I’m your traditionalist… cheese, peppers, onions, and sausage. 

 

7) The band is back together! The New Kids on the Block will be appearing this summer at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. Do you have any concert plans this year?

Nope… Too much work to go to a concert. 

 

8) In 1989, when this song was popular, Irish golfer Rory McIlroy was born. He recently won the prestigious Masters Tournament. Tell us about a competition you won. (Yes, your third grade spelling bee counts.)

I bet you no one will be surprised… I won a science fair project in junior high. I launched a mouse in a model rocket and won first prize.

9) Random question – On which game show would you do better: Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune?

Jeopardy!

I met one of the top money winners...

Do you recognize her?

She is Amy Schneider who won $1,019,600!

 

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!

I think in today’s political environment that I have a touch of depression. They say one of the signs of depression is not enjoying what you used to enjoy. I will keep fighting it!
