Herman's Hermits

Saturday 9: Listen, People (1966)

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


1) Basically Herman is telling us that we each both break hearts and have our hearts broken during our lifetime. Do you agree?

Yes, I do agree. It goes with the territory of relations with others. It isn't always easy to make everyone happy with everything we do or say.Things get misunderstood, many people have feelings that are very fragile and are offended easily by a lot of things.  And, also, there are some people who just don't care how they make other people feel.  That is extremely sad. Overall I think most hurts and slights are unintentional.

2) He implores us to take his advice. Have you more recently given or received advice? Yes, I have given advice and taken advice. Sometimes people listen, most times they don't. People ask "what should I do" and then , when told, do whatever strikes their fancy anyway!
3) Herman's real name is Peter Noone. He was popular with girls because of his bright, toothy smile. How's your oral health? When are you due to go to the dentist?   I don't have an appointment coming upl. My oral health is okay I guess.

4) Peter/Herman got married on his 21st birthday. That's one way to make sure you don't forget your anniversary. Do you have a good memory for anniversaries and birthdays?
Yes.I usually remember family dates. By the way, Peter and Mireille (Me-ray) are still married today! This year is their 50th wedding anniversary.
  5) Between 1965 and 1971, the Hermits worked very hard. They appeared on all the major TV shows of the day, recorded albums, made a movie and then criss-crossed the United States and the United Kingdom, performing live. After those six years, Peter decided he'd had enough and left the group. Have you ever felt burned out and ready for a change?
Sure and I imagine most people have had that experience where something got out of hand or was overwhelming after a while.Usually, a short time out is all that is needed to be back up and running smoothly.
  6) In 1966, when this song was popular, the miniskirt took the fashion world by storm. What's the most recent piece of clothing you added to your wardrobe?       I recently bought a new pair of gray kitty print cotton tap shorts/panties, whatever you call them,  since that is what I sleep in along with a tank or Tee shirt
7) In 1966, TVs were expensive pieces of furniture. A set with a 16" screen and a wood console sold for $250, which is $1,950 in today's dollars. Tell us about your TV. How big is it? Where did you buy it?
My TV is a flat screen about 36 inches.  It came from Best Buy I think.
8) David Schwimmer, aka Ross on Friends, was born in 1966. Who was your favorite Friend?
I didn't like the show at all.  I can't imagine having a group like that for "friends".  
    9) Random question -- Describe your dream car.   It isn't a  dream car since I don't care much but if I had my choice for a new car it would be a Ford F150.
