Saturday 9: Man I Need

Saturday 9: Man I Need (2025)
On Saturdays I take a break from the heavy stuff and have some fun… 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
 
1) In this song, Olivia Dean is looking for a man who wants to really communicate and doesn't make her "read between the lines." Tell us about a time when you felt you had to work hard to figure out what someone was trying to tell you.
 The contractor putting in my flooring.
 2) She's eager to meet his best friend and join their friend group. Have you made any new friends recently?
Not really… more like being socially isolated as many senior face.
 
3) "Man I Need" was a hit in the fall of 2025. It was so popular that, in addition to CDs, a special vinyl release was scheduled in time for Christmas (2025) gift giving. How do you listen to music most often? Do you play CDs, download, stream, or play vinyl records?
Streaming but… I am dusting off my component stereo and setting it up down to the living room. 
 
4) Olivia Dean recalls that her first public performance was singing at a school talent show. If we had a Sat 9 talent show, what would you do to entertain us?
Wiggle my ears and nose at the same time.

5) She says she loved listening to her parents' music collection. How about you? Did you and your parents share musical tastes? How about you and your kids?
Nope… I’m not a fan of Lawrence Welk (Except for this) as for my niece and nephews they listen to some of the classics (By classics I mean classic rock.)


 6) Olivia likes to be dressed up when she gets onstage, favoring gowns and heels. She says of her audiences, "If you guys paid good money that you worked hard for, let me give you a show." How do you feel when you're invited to an event that calls for you to dress up? Are you enthusiastic about choosing your outfit, or would you rather keep it casual?
 I like it, it is a change of pace. I used to go to banquets (You know, where they serve a rubber chicken for an outrageous cost.) but they price themselves out of my range.
 

7) She enjoys classic film and lists Singin' in the Rain as her favorite. What's the last movie you watched? Do you recommend it to other Sat 9ers?
I can’t even remember when I sat down to watch a movie… two problems: first sitting all that time, and second not getting bored watching it. Now a days I watch a movie in segments.
 
8) In 2025, when this song was popular, the average price tag for a new vehicle was $47,690 and $25,100 for a used one. Are you planning to make a big purchase in 2026?
Work on my cottage,

9) Random question: Are you better with love or money?
Well the score card is: Love=0 Money=1
 


I had my old shag carpet taken up and replaced by laminate flooring/ For the last two weeks my house was upside down. I had a big dumpster parked in front of my garage for all of that time and the only way out was just a narrow opening between the dumpster on one side and my garage on the other.
 
But it is now done and slowly life is coming back to normal.

  1. You look nice in that dress.

    That Lawrence Welk clip was just too much.
