A Lowdown Saturday 9 (and the April Challenge)...

Lowdown

From Crazy Sam:  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: Lowdown (1976)

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

1) In this song, "the lowdown" is an unpleasant truth. Tell us about a time when you had to do like Boz and give someone "the lowdown."  Oh gosh, I've had to level with a few people over the years, working in human resources.  It's not fun when you have to fire someone and I've had to do it a few times.  Those are the only ones I can think of right now. I'm sure there have been a few family times too.

2) The lowdown Boz delivers is about the woman his friend is seeing. Specifically, she's gossiping about his finances. If you discovered something negative about a friend's romantic partner, would you share it with your friend? Or would you keep it to yourself?  I would want to know, so I would probably have a conversation with my friend.
  

3) Boz was born William Royce Scaggs, but in high school, he was given the nickname "Bosley" -- later shortened to "Boz." His friends thought "Bosley" sounded nerdier than "Bill," and Scaggs was quite the music nerd. What is something you're nerdy about?  Joe says he doesn't think I am nerdy about anything.  I think nerdy has a different meaning today than it did back in my school days. 

4) His son Austin Scaggs is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone. What magazines are in the room you're in right now?  Polk Life, Garden & Guns, and Joe's CPA Today.

5) Boz and his wife own a vineyard in Napa. Do you prefer white or red wine?  Red, always.

6) In 1976, the year this song was popular, movie queen Elizabeth Taylor needed an escort to one of the nation's Bicentennial celebrations. Former Under Secretary of the Navy John Warner was asked to take her to the event, and within months he became her husband. Have you ever had a "blind date" that turned into a relationship?  Nope.

7) Also in 1976, Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs founded Apple in Jobs' parents' garage. Does your garage serve as your office, workshop or studio? Or is it just home to your car?  At our old house, it was a workshop and home to my car (Joe's workshop... his car was outside).  We have a carport here at our new home and it is just home to the car and our trash cans.

8) The Bionic Woman premiered in 1976. Because of her "bionic parts," Jaimie Summers could run faster than most cars, had superhuman strength, and super-sensitive hearing. If you could have one of those qualities enhanced -- speed, strength or hearing -- which would you choose?  I'll go with speed. Why not... that would mean my knees worked!! LOL

9) Random question: When you lean in for a kiss, do you tilt your head to the right or to the left?  Right.

Thanks to Crazy Sam for this week's Saturday 9!!

The April Challenge...

#28  The word/phrase you use constantly

I say "geeze louise" a lot.  I say it so often that Joe has started saying it too.

Thanks for your visit today!!  Happy Saturday!  Peace & hugs.
