Jose Cuervo

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: Jose Cuervo (1983)

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

 

1) In this song, Shelly West sings that she woke up late on a sunny morning. How's the weather in your part of the world?  Rain every day lately but then the sun shines. There was a huge very beautiful rainbow yesterday morning.

2) She wonders if she started any fights while under the influence. Who's the last person you quarreled with?  I can't remember. Joe and I rarely disagreed and even then we really didn't quarrel. 
 
3) OK, margaritas for everyone! Shelly sings that she likes hers with salt. What's your order? Classic or strawberry? Salt or sugar on the rim?  Classic with salt, please. 

4) Jose Cuervo was a real person. He was one of the first to put tequila in bottles instead of barrels. Since bottles are easier to ship, it was a good decision. Tell us about a recent choice you're glad you made.  Glad I made the choice to splurge on a pedicure!

5) This week's featured artist, Shelly West, decided upon a career in music while still very young. She went on the road and sang backup for her mom, country music legend Dottie West when she was still in her teens. When Sam was in her teens, she really didn't give her professional future that much thought. How about you? Did you already have career ambitions when you were in your teens?  Some silly ones... a horse rancher; a beautician; an art teacher; an interior decorator...

 
6) In 1983, the year this song was popular, Sally Ride became the first American woman in space. Do you ever fantasize about being an astronaut?  Absolutely not. I don't even like to fly in an airplane.

7) Also in 1983, quarterback Aaron Rodgers was born. The NFL season is just kicking off. Do you have high hopes for your team this year?  I don't have a team.  I used to say I was an Eagles fan by marriage. Actually, Joe and I were so disgusted with the NFL that we haven't watched football for a couple of seasons. I won't watch without him... I don't care about the NFL

8) In 1983, Motorola introduced the first cell phone. Do you have an easy time adapting to new technology?  Yes, I think I do.

9) Think of the last potato chip you had. Was it plain, sea salt, barbecue, sour cream & onion ...?  Plain.  I do like sea salt, sour cream & onion, and cheddar... but not BBQ.
