Saturday 9

 

Something More

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 to answer questions, however, and here are today's questions!

Saturday 9: Something More (2005)

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

 

1) Sugarland's lead singer Jennifer Nettles describes a busy morning that begins with a cup of coffee. Do you start your day with a cup of joe?

Of course.  The Keurig gets a lot of use.

2) When she gets home from work, she sings that her house is dirty but says housework can wait until she has a glass of wine. Is there a particular chore on your "to-do" list that you keep putting off?

All of them …

3) The lyrics tell us happiness is something we can create. Do you agree?

In part.  Our choices in life create our circumstances.  Choose the people, places and things that are most likely to make you happy.  There are no guarantees, of course, but we can try.

4) In the video of this week's song, the members of Sugarland ride along in a vintage Cadillac. Are you one of those drivers who has a nickname for your car?

Yes.  My car is called “Peanut”.  

Jeff Dunham does an incredibly funny bit about a Prius.

My favorite Jeff Dunham character is Peanut …

5) The group hitches a ride in a red truck. The auto insurance industry tells us that Americans favor vehicles in the grayscale colors. Nearly 80% of cars on the road today are white, black, gray or silver. What color is your vehicle? 

Peanut is blue.  

6) Nettles achieved her dream of performing on Broadway when she took over the role of Roxy in Chicago. What's your fantasy job?

Hmmm.  As a child and teen I dreamed of starring in Broadway, but I don’t have that kind of talent.  

7) She wrote a cookbook with her mom called Sweet, Savory and Simple. When it was originally published, it was spiral bound. That way, it could be laid flat on the counter as the cook tries one of the recipes. How many cookbooks do you own?  

None.  I save recipes on my iPad.

 

8) In 2005, when "Something More" was topping the country charts, Paul McCartney won a People's Choice Award for his concert tour. Do you have any plans to enjoy music performed live between now and the end of the year?

Of course.  Ali Stroker is doing a concert at the Tilles Center on November 3.  We saw her on Broadway a few years ago, she was in Oklahoma!  She won a Tony.  She is a dynamic and exciting performer.

   

9) Random question: Who received the most recent compliment you gave?

 Not counting the cats?  They are good kitties and I tell them so every day.

An actual person … Drew got a haircut and I told him he looked nice.
