It's a DJ Saturday 9...

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life!

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: Last Night a DJ Saved My Life! (1982)

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


1) This song is about a girl who is heartbroken about a boy who won't take her calls. Do you screen your calls, deciding to let some go to voicemail? Or do you pick up whenever you possibly can? (We're referring to calls from people you know.)   Unless I am eating (home or a restaurant) I answer calls from people in my contacts. I won't interrupt a meal (unless I am alone) for a phone call.  If I don't know the number, I will let it go to voicemail or a hang-up.

2) When she was feeling her lowest, she heard a song on the radio that lifted her spirits. What's the last thing you heard on the radio?  I was listening to Sirius XM 60s in the car, but I didn't pay attention to what the last song was.

3) This song includes the sound of squeaky wheels, indicating a sudden stop and perhaps a near-miss. Tell us about your most recent traffic mishap. Thank the Good Lord and my Guardian Angels, there hasn't been a mishap in a very long time.

4) "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life!" is featured in the 2002 video game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Do you spend much time on video games? I do not play video games unless Scrabble Solitaire and Spider Solitaire count as video games.

5) This week's featured artist, Indeep, was a trio. We've had many groups, some duos and tons of solo artists on Saturday 9, but not many trios. Can you name another popular trio? Well, I had to look up trios since I'm not much into music groups. I chose to mention 'Stray Cats' because... cats!  LOL

6) The last time Indeep performed together was in 1997, at a New Year's Eve show in Paris for French TV. Have you celebrated a holiday in another land?  We were in Venice, Italy, on their May Day holiday, but we didn't celebrate it. The locals were sure into it, though!

7) Britain's Royal Family is in the news this weekend, with attention centered on the nuptials. The Royals made news in 1982, as well. When this song was popular, Michael Fagan gained momentary fame by breaking into Buckingham Palace. He found The Royal Bedroom, where he came face-to-face with the Queen. He reports that Queen Elizabeth sleeps in a nightie that "reached down to her knees." What did you wear to bed last night?  I prefer a sleeveless PJ set with shorts here in Florida, and that's what I wore last night.

8)  In 1982, you could buy a loaf of white bread for 50¢. Today, the national average price for that loaf of bread is more than $2.50. When you go grocery shopping, do you comparison shop and make purchases at more than one store? Or do you prefer one-stop shopping?  We shop at Publix and Sam's Club, with specific lists for both places.  We rarely go anywhere else, unless we are close to Walmart where we will purchase cat food and cat litter because the prices are better. We don't make a special trip, though. The difference in price isn't so great that it is worth going out of our way.

9) Random question: What's the first famous quote that comes to your mind? Ha!  Nothing came to mind immediately and when I started thinking about it my mind was flooded.  From John 3:16 to Paul Revere's "...one if by land.." to John Kennedy's "...ask not what your country can do for you..."

Thanks to our hostess, Sam Winters, for this week's Saturday 9!!  You can find her HERE to join in!!

I'm glad you stopped by!!  Happy Saturday!  Peace & hugs.
