That's All

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: That's All (1983)

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

1) In the lyrics, Phil Collins sings of a time he was wrong when he thought he was right. Tell us about a recent time when you got it wrong.
Well, there was this baby shower about I attended, and it was for a little boy. But, I thought it was for a baby girl! I guess I got pregnant people mixed up. I am very .... lets say easily confused.  Well... it was AWFUL and embarrassing, to be sure!! 

2) The song is addressed to a lover that Phil clearly feels is contrary. When he says, "day," she says, "night." Is there anyone in your life who seems to disagree with you all or most of the time?
My second husband. ALL the time. He hates me. 

3) This was Genesis' first Top 10 hit in the US. Can you name another Phil Collins or Genesis song?
Not at the moment.

4) Phil Collins is a model train enthusiast. Is there anything special that you collect?
dust bunnies ;)  

5) Collins was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. At the ceremony, he delivered the commencement address. When did you last give a presentation or deliver a speech?
a couple of years ago,when I returned to college. I had a couple public speaking classes. 

6) One of Phil Collins' early solo albums was called, Hello, I Must Be Going. He took the title from a song in the 1930 Marx Bros. movie, Animal Crackers. What's the last black and white movie or TV show that you watched?
Oh Wuthering Heights. My favorite!

7) In 1983, when this song was popular, the Lotus 1-2-3 program made it easier for PC users to build spreadsheets. Are you answering these questions on a PC or a Mac? Laptop or desktop? Tablet or phone?
Laptop. 

8) 1983 is also the year when McDonald's introduced McNuggets. What's your favorite chicken recipe (assuming it's not McNuggets)?
Oh you will LOVE this!!!
