I'll be Loving You.. sat 9

For those wondering... the fire here is very large and bad.   My whole house smells badly of smoke and I woke up coughing this morning at 4AM from smoke.   It is 50% contained and the joint bases of FT Dix/McGuire AFB and Lakehurst are flyhing copters over to dump ocean water on the fire .  It will be a while until it's out unless we get a lot of rain.   Supposedly they caught the teen who started it.    They are letting it burn to over 15,000 acres to kind of backburn things.  But nearly that much is gone from the fire itself.   The Pine Barrens stretch over most of NJ and comprise millions of acres .. a lot for a very small state.

 

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!

Onward with Saturday 9...      I'll Be Loving You (Forever) – 1989

 

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

 

1) A Greek philosopher said, "There is nothing permanent except change." The New Kids on the Block sang, "I'll be loving you forever." Who do you think is right? Or can both be right?

It was said by Heraclitus and he is right.  Change is what life is about and it goes on throughout your whole human existence.       

 

2) In this week's song, New Kids lead singer Jordan Knight sings that he can't take a broken heart. What advice would you give someone struggling through the end of a romance?

  I am from New Jersey so my advice is suck it up snowflake and get over yourself.

3) Jordan was invited to join the New Kids on the Block by his friend, Donnie Wahlberg. Has a friend ever gotten you a job? 

No. 

4) Donnie began his show business career as a singer/rapper. Now he's probably better known as an actor, appearing for 14 seasons on a popular police show. Can you name it?

Blue Bloods.

5) Much of the video for this song was filmed in the gymnasium of Xavier High School in New York City. When is the last time you were in a high school gym?

A couple of years ago.

 

6) The video also shows the boys enjoying pizza. What toppings are on your dream pizza?

Mushrooms,  red peppers sometimes but mostly I like a plain pie.

7) The band is back together! The New Kids on the Block will be appearing this summer at the Park MGM in Las Vegas. Do you have any concert plans this year?

No.  I really am not a fan of rock concerts and the noise.

 

8) In 1989, when this song was popular, Irish golfer Rory McIlroy was born. He recently won the prestigious Masters Tournament. Tell us about a competition you won. (Yes, your third grade spelling bee counts.)

I won several gold medals and trophies for running.   A few years ago I won a writing contest.

9) Random question – On which game show would you do better: Jeopardy! or Wheel of Fortune?

 Jeopardy  for syre,
