In Love With the Boy

Saturdays are special  I think.   I have always liked them.   Sunday, not so much.     But I do like Saturday a lot.

partly cloudy

I like the sounds of Saturday.. lawn mowers in summer, small planes. Those are sounds I associate with Saturday.  Also spaghettis dinners in winter.    The scent of a pot of sauce that's been cooking for a day and ready to serve on Saturday night.   My mother's sauce was legendary. Best I have ever tasted.

Here is   Saturday 9..

She's in Love with the Boy (1991)

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

1) This song tells the story of Katie and Tommy. She waited for him to pull up in his beat-up Chevy truck. Tell us about your wheels..

I no longer drive.

 

2) Katie and Tommy stay out until 12:30 AM. What time did you go to bed last night?

I was up very late  because a 20lb bag of pond fish food tore and a lot spilled in the kitchen on counter, floor, etc. It took me so long to clean it. I am disabled and it can hurt to do chores like that. So, I do a bit, then sit,, then finish up.

3) The lyrics tell us, "What's meant to be will always find a way." Do you agree?

No, I don't believe that.

We live in a time of magical religion  .  People believe God does everything for them on demand.   

4) This was the first big hit for Trisha Yearwood. While she's found her greatest success in music, she's also written top-selling cookbooks. Are you a better singer or cook?

I suppose cook.  My voice was ruined by having camera stuck down my throat for surgery.

5) Trisha also appeared in six episodes of the TV drama, JAG. She played a medical examiner and forensic pathologist, which means her character had a medical degree and (at least) one year of additional training. That's (at least) five extra years of higher education. Do you enjoy taking classes?

Yes, I do!  I am taking some now.

6) In real life, Trisha earned a degree in Business Administration before going into music. She uses what she learned in school, keeping a close eye on her finances and those of her superstar husband, Garth Brooks. She says she likes and trusts the people hired to their money, "but I check on them." Do you keep a careful eye on where your money goes?

Yes I keep a very close eye on it.

 

7) In 1991, when this song was popular, Dances with Wolves was a hit in the theaters. Have you seen it?

Yes. I saw it this year actually not having been interested back when it came out.

8) Also in 1991, Seinfeld was a big deal on the small screen. It's still popular in syndication on cable channels and on streaming services. Do you more often watch broadcast TV or streaming/on-demand channels?

I watch more on demand and streaming.

9) Random question: Have you ever gone a day without laughing?

Yes,   many days.  Life can be tough some times.
