Saturday Nine

You're No Good
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: You're No Good (1974)

... because Harriet suggested Linda Ronstadt

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

1) This week's featured artist, Linda Ronstadt, turns 69 next month. Will you be celebrating any family/friend birthdays this summer?
Paul my  hubs to be. Tommy, my bro. Krista, my pseudo child. JJ my hero.  My nieces, cousins... and the list goes on. 

2) Linda sings that she's learned her lesson and it's left a scar. Tell us how you got one of your scars.
My left leg. 18 stitches, bike accident 31 years ago.

3) This song is about a lover who is, obviously, no good. Let's be more positive. Who is the nicest person you know?

7) In 1974, when this song was a hit, The Magic 8 Ball was still a top-seller at toy stores. It retailed for just $1.99, and promised that all you had to do was gaze at it, concentrate, and wait to learn your fate ... "if you dare!"

When am i going to pass away. And how.
