Saturday 9 ~ 65 Love Affair

Its been a while, but I am back to participating in this fun meme!!

You can see the others that participate in this fun meme at Saturday 9.

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: '65 Love Affair (1977)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here

1) The first line of this song is, "I was a car hop." Car hops used to take orders and bring diners food to eat in their cars. Today, the drive through lane has pretty much replaced car hops. Think about the last time you went to a fast food restaurant. Did you order at the counter or at the drive through window? Drive thru window

2) Mr. Davis sings that his girlfriend was "bad with her pom-poms." Presumably she was a cheerleader. Share one of your school's cheers.
(the girls will say the first line and the crowd will repeat)

Everywhere we go (everywhere we go)
People want to know (people want to know)
Who we are (who we are)
So we tell them (so we tell them)
We are the Eagles (we are the Eagles)
The mighty, mighty Eagles (the mighty, mighty Eagles)

3) The lyrics tell us, he believes that if he could go back in time, his girl would still be his. If you could travel back in time to your high school years, what would you enjoy doing again? What would you do differently? hanging out with friends, and not having a care in the world... I don't think I would do anything differently

4) During his performing days, Paul Davis sported a full beard and flowing hair. We're using that to check your powers of observation and recollection. Think of the last man you spoke to. Who was he? Describe his hair, and tell us whether he was clean shaven. the last man I spoke to was my husband. He's sporting that salt and pepper look, and really needs a trim... he was clean shaven though as he was heading out the door for work

5) Paul Davis was born in Meridian, MS, and that's where he returned to when he went into semi-retirement in 1982. Meridian's biggest employer is the Naval Air Station in Meridian. Do you know anyone who is currently in, or employed by, the military? yep, my youngest is in the Army National Guard, as well as 3 of his friends. My cousin is as well, serving in the Air Force.

6) He was a pool player and a golfer. Which sport are you better at? I can neither play pool or golf... I want to try my hand at golf, just need the hubs to take me out and give it a try. Back in the day I did play volleyball (in high school)

7) Sadly, he died in 2008, on the day after his 60th birthday. His best friend remembers him as "a homebody," who enjoyed staying up long into the night with his friends, playing and listening to music. Describe your perfect way to spend an evening. at home with the hubs, being all cozy under a blanket and watching movies

8) The publishing rights to "'65 Love Affair," as well as Paul Davis' bigger hits ("Cool Night" and "I Go Crazy"), are owned by another Paul -- Paul McCartney. Sir Paul's MPL Publishing Company has made him a very rich man, and Paul says that's because he chose to invest in music, something he loves. What about you? If you were to invest in a business or industry you love, which would you choose? I would love to invest in a yarn shop and or a bakery/cafe!

9) Random question --You're at a party and one of your host's best friends is a real egghead who tries to draw you into a conversation about paradigmatic counter existentialism. Would you: a) just listen politely while letting your mind wander; b) admit you don't know what the hell he's talking about; c) explain why you personally feel that the counter existential paradigm just adds unnecessary complexity to the individual's search for meaning? A....
