Hello Weekend & Saturday 9

Hello!  It's almost the end of winter.  It came , it saw,it conquered and now is fishing out it's passport to head on to bigger and better things in life.

March winds are blowing everything around here and limbs and twigs are all over the place;

   Here is Saturday 9

 

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

1) This week's song is about a girl who grew up on the fairy tale Cinderella. The online teaching platform study.com says Cinderella has been remained popular for centuries because the moral is that kindness is a virtue that will be rewarded. As an adult, do you still believe that's true?

Virtue is rewarded in another world but rarely here.   I also think Cinderella was more about women needing a prince to have a life which is not true.

2) This girl also likes romantic movies. Think of your favorite screen couple. Did they live happily ever after?

I suppose they do but you never know since the movie ends only at a certain point and doesn't show the end result. 

3) While "I Can Love You Like That" was a Top Ten hit here, it reached #1 in the Canada and Zimbabwe. Could you find Zimbabwe on a globe?

Yes I can find Zimbabwe. Makes me think of Victoria Falls and the tstse fly. 

4) The members of this week's group, All-4-One, hail from Mojave, California.   July and August are the hottest months in Mojave, when the afternoon temperature hovers between 87º and 97º and often climbs to 100º+. Do you thrive or melt in hot weather?

I am not fond of super hot weather but no, I don't melt.  It's mostly really the humidity I dislike.

5) After having several hits in the 1990s, All-4-One saw their popularity wane in the new millennium. While they never disbanded – and will be touring throughout 2025 – the members have pursued separate interests. For example, co-founder Delious Kennedy started a YouTube channel featuring interviews with celebrities from the 80s and 90s. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube?   If yes, what do you watch?

I spend a secent amount on YouTube and I watch news, documentaries and a couple of TV programs.

6) In 1995, when this week's song was popular, Michael Jordan "unretired" and returned to the Chicago Bulls. Tell us about a decision you wish you could undo.

I really can't think of anything important that I would undo.  Sometimes undoing thngs can be worse.

7) 1995 saw Pierce Brosnan as James Bond in GoldenEye. 007 was also played by Sean Connery, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Daniel Craig. Do you have a favorite Bond?

I liked Sean Connery, Daniel Craig and Pierce Brosnan

I am a James Bond movie fan!

8) One of McDonald's best-selling 1995 Happy Meals featured The Power Rangers. 30 years later, those Happy Meal action figures are still available on eBay. Have you recently purchased anything on eBay?

No.  I;'ve heard of too many being scammed on eBay.

9) Random question – Which compliment would please you the most: to be smart, great looking, or likeable?

To be likeable I think.
