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: All Right (1983)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song has an optimistic message about love: "It gets tough sometimes, but you can give it one more try ..." Do you tend to take an optimistic look at life?
On some subjects, yes. On others,no. It depends but over all I am usually optimistic.
2) In this song, Christopher Cross sings, "Time and time again I see people so unsure like me ..." Tell us about a recent time when your confidence could have used a boost.

Right now.
3) The Doobie Bros.' Michael McDonald plays on this record. Do you have a favorite Doobie Bros. song?
All of them are great but Toulouse Street is best.
4) Though no longer making hits, Christopher Cross still has loyal fans who attend his concerts. Time permitting, he spends time after each show signing autographs. Have you ever asked a celebrity for his/her autograph?
No,not a fan and don't worship stars etc. I could not care less.
5) Christopher Cross' dad was an Army doctor stationed at Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington, DC. With all the museums and monuments, our nation's capital could be a great place for a kid to grow up ... except sometimes we take the advantages of our hometown for granted. Tell us about a nearby museum, park, theater, etc., you'll visit again when this period of crisis is over and it's agreed that it's safe to do so.
Anywhere but probably no where.

6) In 1983, when "All Right" was popular, Flash Dance was a hit in movie theaters and on the radio. What's the most recent movie you watched? Most recent song you heard on the radio?
I don't listen to music on the radio. Most recent song was on YouTube "Say Something".
Most recent movie was "Tremors"
7) Also in 1983, America West Airlines took off, flying between Las Vegas and Phoenix. They went nationwide in 2005 after they merged with US Airways. In 2013, they merged again, this time with American Airlines. Do you collect miles in an airline loyalty program?

No, I don't. Haven't flown in ages.
8) Super Mario Bros. debuted in 1983. Can you name gaming's most famous siblings?
Of course!! Mario and Luigi
9) Random question -- Under hypnosis, you discover you lived three past lives. In the first, you were wealthy beyond your wildest imaginings, thanks to a loveless marriage. In the second, you were a star on the roller derby circuit who had earned the nickname "Smasher." In the third, you were a brilliant mathematician who worked your way through school as an exotic dancer. Which of these would you find most shocking?
I would find the roller derby most shocking, not that shocked at the other two at all.
#9, I guess I am most "shocked" at your answer. LOL. I think for me being the brilliant mathematician who worked my way through school as an exotic dancer would definitely be the "most shocking". It would be to anyone else who knew me too...I'm just not the "exotic" type. LOL. But a roller derby star...well, if I could manage to stay up on the skates long enough, I could do that. LOL>
ReplyDeleteI think the only autograph I ever got was of "The Lettermen", way back when I was a teen. I mostly got it because I wanted my sister to see it because she LOVED The Lettermen, but wasn't able to go to the concert. Not sure how I got to go, or especially how I got backstage to get the autograph, but it was fun. Hope you have a wonderful day today.
Roller derby girls were always thuggish , cruel, mean and dangerous. So to me, as a former dancer, I'd rather be an exotic dancer, most of whom are nice ladies actually than a thug. Depends how you look at things. I don't like hurting people and in the roller derby those girls were vicious.
DeleteLike your friend Pamela (above), I'm surprised that you wouldn't be shocked to learn you were once an exotic dancer. Well, good for you! I hope you got great tips. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers. I am not shocked about the last question, grin...I can see you roller derbying and exotic dancing (ducking). grin
ReplyDeleteHave a great day my friend, smiles
Roller Derby girls were thugs. I would never be one. I despise that.
DeleteHowever, as I told Pamela, I was a professional dancer for quite a long while .. not exotic but, many other kinds including ballet, etc. I stand with any kind of dancer.
I can also understand a loveless marriage for money if you are between a rock and a hard place.
Surprised along with the others about your answer to #9. Who knew you had such a wild side? LOL Have a wonderful day...it's sunny and warm here in PA (at least until later this afternoon) so I hope you're getting some of the nice weather, too.
ReplyDeleteTo me the wild is the thugs of the roller derby, not women doing work to make something of themselves. So, see, it depends how you look at things.
DeleteWell good for you on the exotic dancer thing. I would be totally shocked if I found out I did that. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

I heard Michael McDonald last summer at the Orange County Fair. He was there along with Chaka Khan. China Grove was the Doobie song that was popular my senior year of HS.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Roller Derby, those gals were tough! I don't worship stars either, they are human just like the rest of us.
