It's Time for Saturday:9....

Careless Whisper 

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: Careless Whisper (1984)

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

1) You can't miss George Michael's gold hoops in the photo above or in the "Careless Whisper" video. Are you wearing any jewelry right now?  Yes, I am.  Earrings, my wedding ring and a watch.

2) Though the label says this hit is performed by "Wham! featuring George Michael," George Michael is the only member of the pop duo who appears in the video. Do you remember the name of the other guy who was in Wham?  Nope.

3) Much of the video was filmed on Watson Island, a man-made island near South Beach. Have you ever been to Miami?  Yes, and to South Beach.

4) Born Georgios Panayiotou, George Michael is of Greek descent, the son of the Greek restauranteur in East London. When you think of Greek cuisine, what comes to mind?  Gyros; Spanakopita (love, love, love Spanakopita)

5) Today he lives in a tony suburb called Highgate, and his neighbors are Kate Moss and Sting. Tell us about one of your neighbors.  Our immediate neighbors on the east side of our house are such good friends! They care for our cats and home when we travel, and we care for their cats and home when they travel. We have a very nice bunch of neighbors on both sides and across the street. Blessed.

6) George Michael fans can purchase officially licensed merchandise from his website, including an iPhone cover with his photo and signature. Tell us about your cell phone. Is it Apple or Android? Is it a smartphone?  My cellphone is Android and is smarter than me!!  I love my Galaxy 5S.

7) George Michael sang Stevie Wonder's "You and I" for Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton. What's your favorite love song?  "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge.

8) In 2014, George had a health scare. He was rushed to the hospital for tests and released the next day. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?  A few times, actually.  Not fun at all, but God bless the EMTs!!

9) Known for hard partying in his youth, George is now in his 50s and says he's quite happy to spend his evenings eating takeout and watching DVDs. Are you doing any socializing this weekend?  Not this weekend I'm not, unless you count going to Church....we do socialize a bit there, before and after.
