Saturday 9

 

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 to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Saturday 9: Good (1995)

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

1) This song begins with a guy realizing he's home alone. Do you enjoy being all by yourself?

Yes, sometimes.

2) He watches the sun throwing shadows on the floor. Which room in your home lets in the most sun?

The kitchen.

3) He sings that he may write a letter to his ex. If you were inspired to send someone a handwritten message, do you have stationery or notecards on hand? What about first-class postage stamps?

Yes, I have supplies.

4) This week's band, Better Than Ezra, got their start in Baton Rouge. All the members attended LSU and played their first gig at Murphy's, a bar near campus. When you were in your early 20's, where did you and your friends go to socialize?

There was a wine and cheese restaurant that had board games, and often had live music.

5) While the band refuses to disclose the origin of their name, many assume the "Ezra" they refer to is poet Ezra Pound. Do you often read poetry?

I minored in English, I’ve read quite a bit of poetry.  

6) In 1995, when this song was popular, Michael Jordan "unretired" and returned to the Chicago Bulls. Tell us about a decision you wish you could undo.

Every decision you make brings you to where you are now.  You can’t really know if you’d be in a better place or in a worse situation if you made a different decision.  

I read a short story once, three women were given the opportunity to undo a major life decision and experience what their lives would have been.  Then they’d be allowed to choose whether to return to their old life or keep the new reality.  Two chose the return to their old life, the third chose the new life. 

7) Also in 1995, Phoebe Buffay first performed "Smelly Cat." Do you recall what show she sang on?

Friends, of course.

8) Legendary New York Yankee Mickey Mantle died in 1995. How is your team doing so far this young baseball season?

The Mets can’t win for losing.

9) Random question: What's in your garage, besides your car (lawn tools, holiday decorations, old paint cans, etc.)?

We don’t have a garage, but we have a shed.  You’ll find a lawn mower and a snow blower in there.  

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!
