Saturday 9: For All We Know (1971)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about newlyweds looking ahead to a happy life together. What are you looking forward to today?
2) They look forward to getting to know one another better. Tell us about someone who knows you well. Is it the person who has known you the longest?
3)
The song lyrics are credited to "Robb Wilson" and "Arthur James," but
those aren't their real names. Robb Royer and Jimmy Griffin were
founding members of the 70s soft-rock group Bread. Are you familiar with
that band? If so, do you have a favorite Bread song? (Find their
greatest hits here.)
4) Richard Carpenter discovered this song on his afternoon off when he and sister Karen were on tour. He took a few hours to unwind at the movies, heard this song in the film Lovers and Other Strangers, and decided it would make a perfect Carpenters record. How do you like to unwind?
5) Karen Carpenter drank unsweetened iced tea, every day, all year long. Do you prefer your tea hot or cold?
6) Elvis was a fan of Karen's and, according to the recollection of singer Petula Clark, hit on her when she and Clark visited him backstage in Vegas. Pet recalled Karen was very innocent and said, "I felt responsible for her so I got her out of there." Tell us about a time when you looked out for a friend.
7) President Richard Nixon was a Carpenters fan, too, and invited the duo to perform at the White House at an official dinner for West German Chancellor Willy Brandt. If you could hear anyone perform live in an intimate setting, like a dinner party, who would you choose?
8) Today Richard collects classic automobiles. He has a 1964 Ford Thunderbird, like the one Beach Boys sang about in the song "Fun, Fun, Fun." Can you think of another song that mentions a car?
9) Random question: Do you tend to feel more content at the beginning of the day, or at the end?
