So Much to Say

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: So Much to Say

Thanks to Kelly for recommending The Dave Matthews Band. (Hear it here.)

1) The lyrics refer to a baby's "one year of crying." When was the last time you cried ... felt weepy ... or at least teared up?

2) Let's lighten it up a little. When was the last time you laughed really hard?

3) Do you have "so much to say" that hasn't been said yet? Tell us if you owe someone a phone call, note, email or text.

4) Earlier this summer, Dave took a bike ride before a show and his tire blew out. He didn't have a cell phone with him and was afraid of missing that night's performance. Fortunately two fans -- driving to see Dave Matthews Band in concert -- recognized him by the side of the road and gave him a ride to the show. Share a recent act of kindness you either did, or received.

5) Before he hit it big, Dave Matthews was a bartender. What job did you have right before the one you have now?

6) The Dave Matthews Band recorded an album live at the Red Rocks Amphitheater, in the mountains near Denver. Is there a trip to the mountains in your future?

7) Do you suffer from hay fever or allergies?


8) What's in your pocket right now?

9) American Express promotes "Small Business Saturday," and encourages us to shop at local, independent retailers. Is there a shop, boutique or restaurant in your town that you're particularly fond of?

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.

Saturday 9: Endless Summer

Thanks to Kwizgiver for recommending The Beach Boys

1) The best-selling Beach Boys album of all time is this two disc greatest hits compilation. Do you have favorite Beach Boys song?

2) The original members of the group were the Wilson brothers, their cousin Mike and a friend from the neighborhood. Have you ever worked with a family member?

3) Originally released in the mid-1970s, Endless Summer was one of the first fast-selling albums sold on TV. Have you ever picked up the phone and purchased anything directly from TV?

4) The Beach Boys are very popular in Australia. Have you ever been Down Under?

5) Actor John Stamos played bongos on the Beach Boys' hit, "Kokomo." In his younger days, Stamos was Blackie on the daytime drama, General Hospital. Have you ever followed a soap opera?

6) Many Beach Boys songs revolve around the surf. How are you on a surf board?

7) Would you prefer summer to be endless? Or do you enjoy the changing seasons?

8) Do your summer 2013 plans include a trip to a waterpark?

9) Describe your swimsuit.

Saturday 9: Just Give Me a Reason

Thanks to Carielle for recommending this great song.

1) When she first burst onto the scene, Pink was a self-proclaimed tomboy. Now she's glam. Literally. She was on the cover of the June issue of Glamour and is a spokeswoman for Covergirl cosmetics. Does a celebrity endorsement increase your interest in a product?

2) This song is about a woman who feels her lover slipping away. Do you believe a couple can repair a relationship once it starts to sour?

3) As a little girl, Pink wanted to be an Olympic gymnast. If you could excel (or, if you do excel) at any sport, which one?

4) Pink is married to motorcycle pro Carey Hart. Have you ever ridden really fast on a motorcyle?

5) When she found out she was pregnant, Pink says she gave up whiskey and cigarettes … but admits she misses the whiskey. Do you have a habit you know you should break?

6) In 2010, she fell out of the aerial harness that was supposed to carry her across the stage. Are you afraid of heights?

7) Pink enjoys showing off her tattoos. Do you have any body art?

8) Pink can be very salty in her language. When was the last time you cursed?

9) On her website, Pink sells 10 different t-shirts. Do you have a favorite t-shirt? What does it look like/say?

Saturday 9: Dedicated to the One I Love

Thanks to Diana for recommending the Mamas and the Papas. (You can listen to the song here.)

1) The lyrics include the line, "Love can never be exactly what we want it to be." Are you happy with your love life?

2) Another lyric is, "Each night before you go to bed, whisper a little prayer for me." Do you say your prayers?

3) Mama Michelle and Papa John were married in real life. It didn't end well -- not for the couple and not for the band. Do you believe you could work successfully with a romantic partner?

4) After the band broke up, Michelle tried her hand at acting and eventually became a regular on the nighttime soap, Knott's Landing. Of course, she could live off of her music royalties while she learned her new craft. If money was no object, what career would like to try?

5) There is a famous rumor -- completely false -- that Mama Cass died while eating a ham sandwich. Can you think of another urban legend?

6) In the 1960s, every high school girl wanted to wear her hair like Michelle and Cass -- long and straight. Can you recall a fashion trend from your school days?

7) With the Fourth of July falling on Thursday, are you able to enjoy a looooong four-day holiday weekend?

8) Many communities have parades to celebrate Independence Day. Have you ever ridden on a float or marched in a parade?

9) In honor of the Fourth of July, name your favorite Founding Father.
