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: Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? (1970)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song asks, "Does anybody really care about time?" How about you? Do you pride yourself on being punctual? Or don't you really care?
I used to be punctual, now... eh.
2) The lyrics refer to a stranger asking the time. When is the last time you conversed with someone you didn't really know? What did you two talk about?
The cashier at Sparkles. Making pickled eggs.
3) According to the Top 40 tracker Tunecaster, this song knocked Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Knock Three Times" out of the #1 spot on the charts in January 1971. Are you familiar with "Knock Three Times?"
I am!
4) Chicago is not only the name of the group but also of the midwest's largest city. Chicago is the proud hometown of such luminaries as Bill Murray, Michelle Obama and Derrick Rose. Does your town have any favorite sons or daughters?
I don't know exactly if you would call them sons and daughters, but BoomBoom Mancini and Ed O'Neill are from Youngstown.
5) The group Chicago was originally known as The Chicago Transit Authority, after the city's public transportation system. When is the last time you were on a bus or a train?
Hmmmmmmm 6) Four of the original seven bandmembers are still with the group … after 48 years! What's the longest you stayed at the same job?
35 years. Baker at a country club 7) Lead singer Rob Lamm confessed that, at times, being in a band has been hard for him because he is by nature a loner. How about you? Are you more introverted or extroverted?
Introverted
8) This summer, Chicago will be touring with Earth, Wind and Fire. Have you seen/will you attend any concerts in 2015?
Got tickets for Kenny Chesney this year :)
9) Random question: What's the last mess you cleaned up?
My pans from making the dog's dinner.
I would love a job as a baker!
ReplyDeleteit was a great job! but 35 years of such a physical job, was exhausting!!
Delete35 years at the same job is very impressive! I saw Kenny in concert years ago. He was awesome!
ReplyDeleteI hope you stop by:

Ugh, I don't like the dirty pans from cooking mess at all. They should make self-cleaning pans!
ReplyDeleteI agree, a baker sounds like fun!
I had many many great years as a baker. And yes, I hate pans too. bleah
DeleteBaking has to be a fun job but tiring, yes it's physical alright, and your on your feet most of the time. 35 years at it is amazing! Take care,you neat lady. The sibs convo and picture below is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteIts funny, your strength grows with you, but after a 5 year hiatus, I could never go back. I often wonder how I did it!! Ahhhh youth!
DeleteI would love to see Kenny Chesney--he's so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHe puts on a great show!!
DeleteYou must be a great cook.
ReplyDeleteI raised 5 step kids/grandkids, all lived with us. I had to learn EARLY!!
DeleteFunny how many of us are introverted
ReplyDeletethat's why I like to blog. I can say my feelings and I guess no one really judges me. At home I can communicate without having to be 'out there'.
DeleteI've always wanted to try and pickle both beetroot and eggs - any tips would be gratefully used! 35 years is an admiral commitment! Must have really enjoyed it there!
