On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun…
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about a young man who is happy to hear his phone ring. How about you? How do you feel when your phone rings? (Excited, annoyed, surprised, etc.)
Annoyed, I would say the 99% of the calls are spam.
2) He's got James Taylor on the stereo. Are you a James Taylor fan?
Oh… I have most of his records from the later 60s to early 70s/
3) He tells his girl he's been hanging with his buddies, Tony and Mario, but they're no substitute for her. What friend did you recently spend time with? What did you do?
Well many of my friends are seniors and I’m going to our senior lunch group.
4) Tony and Mario were real people. They ran a restaurant frequented by the songwriters. Did you dine out this past week?
No, not this week, last week when I was up at Cape Cod.
5) "Rings" is the only hit for the band Cymarron, who hailed from Memphis, a town known for classic southern comfort foods like biscuits and gravy, cornbread and mashed potatoes. What's on the menu at your home this weekend?
Pizza Saturday, and Sunday, steak on the grill. I have one of those hibachi charcoal grills, I find it convenient when cooking for one.
Ops... I just looked at the weather forecast. It is now steak tonight and get a pizza in the rain tomorrow night.
6) The boys in Cymarron took their name from their favorite TV show, the Western Cimarron Strip. What TV show are you currently enjoying? Maybe your fellow Sat9ers would like it, too.
Well they are all on PBS… PBS News Hour, NOVA, Secrets of the Dead, Midsomer Murders, and Death in Paradise.
7) In 1971, when this song was popular, the US Mint introduced the Eisenhower Silver Dollar. Is there any change in your wallet or pocket right now?
No, all my change is in the cup holder in the car.
8) Also in 1971, Mattel introduced Malibu Barbie, the doll with a tan. Have you ever used a tanning bed?
Nope. And never will.
9) Random question – If we were to ask your friends, which of these qualities would they say they like best about you: your warmth, your sense of humor, or your intelligence?
Intelligence… notice in question #6 NOVA and Secrets of the Dead.
I’m also gett8ng annoyed with all the SPAM calls. Thank goodness for Caller ID
ReplyDeleteAll day long I get spasm calls. RuPaul marathon on watch it for hours. Wife plans the meals. What she cooks I eat never bite the hand that feeds you. We don’t eat beef bad for your sugar. She watches all those stupid Hallmark Xmas movies. I hate them. They’re all the same.
ReplyDeleteTonight Tim is making Chicken Cutlets with Spinach, Parsnips and homemade Applesauce. Tomorrow for lunch we will be dining on, Swedish Meatballs, Macaroni and Cheese, (homemade old fashion type) Beets and more applesauce. We will top it off with some strawberry ice cream. Since we do not see each other during the week except for 10 mins or so we have nice dinners on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have a ton of change and should get rid of all of the pennies.
Be well Diana and have fun.
P.S # 8 I think the tanned Malibu Barbie annoys me more than a spam call. But I loved the Barbie movie even if the patriarchy didn't.
I don't like spam either. That steak and pizza and steak sound good for me!
