Saturday Nine

Copacabana

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!

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

1) This song refers to the merengue and the cha-cha. Are you a good dancer?
remember Elaine on Seinfeld? OK.
2) Dances like the merengue and cha-cha are featured on Dancing with the Stars. Are you a loyal DWTS viewer?
Never saw it.

3) The Copa girl in the song, Lola, wears yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there. If we were going to the clubs tonight, what would you wear? 
I am not a club person
4) The real Copacabana nightclub was on East 60th Street in New York. It was used as a setting for the movie Goodfellas. Do you have a favorite mobster movie? 
hmmmmm. no.
5) Our featured artist, Barry Manilow, has unfortunately spent a great deal of this young century in the hospital -- broken nose, face lift, chest pains and two hip surgeries. Tell us about your most recent trip to the doctor, ER, or dentist.
I needed to find out if this pain in my shoulder was something other than a torn rotator cuff. Now that I have insurance I can get the much needed surgery.
6) Manilow told US Magazine that he enjoys nude sunbathing. Have you ever skinny dipped or sunbathed au naturel?
My ex and I had an awesome pool in our back yard on Maple Spring Drive... we frequently skinny dipped after the kids were sound asleep. Oh those days....
7) Before he became famous as a performer, Manilow was a very successful jingle writer. "Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there …" and "You deserve a break today at McDonald's …" were his. Tell us about a TV commercial you saw recently.
The commercial playing now is AFLAC... Love that duck.
8) The Manilow faithful are known as Fanilows and proudly wear Barry hoodies, wristwatches and even dog tags. Do you have any clothes that feature a recording artist?
Kenny Chesney, Keith Urban, Lady A. , and some rock band I stole from my Grich man. xo
9) In 2005, Manilow refused to respond when Larry King inquired about his sexuality. Do you think it's rude for interviewers to ask personal questions? Or is it something a performer should expect because it goes with the job?
Idk. It goes with the job, but their should be boundaries.

  1. Hi Mair. I hope your shoulder is better soon, whether through surgery or therapy. I went back to the gym today and did some lifts that might have un-knotted the bicep and taken pressure off the shoulder. There may have been knots in the deep fibers.
