Ring of Fire
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: Ring of Fire
(because country music was recommended by Colletta's Kitchen's Sink)
If you're not familiar with today's song, you can hear it here.
1) Recorded by Johnny Cash, "Ring of Fire" was written by his wife, June Carter. Johnny's daughter Roseanne says it's about "the transformative power of their love." What's your favorite love song?
The First Time, recorded by Roberta Flack. Sorry about the motorcycle revving at the end. Gah!
2) Though more than 50 years old, this song is still popular today. Country Music Television named it one of the best and most requested of all time. Are you a country music fan?
I love nearly all music, and Country music is one of my particular favorites.
3) This recording features mariachi horns, inspired by Mexican folk music. Have you ever been to Mexico?
I love Mexico so much. It's beautiful there! Unfortunately things have changed for the worse over time.
4) Cash's birth certificate said, "J. R. Cash," and "J.R." is what his parents always called him. When he enlisted in the Air Force, Uncle Sam refused to let him simply go by initials, so he chose the name "John." If you could choose a different name for yourself, what would it be?
I'm OK with my name but sometimes I would like to have had my mother's name.
5) Cash and his first wife, Vivian, had their first date at a roller skating rink. Tell us about one of your first dates.
Our very first date, was a sailing date. We took a sailboat out on the bay at Newport Beach. We had a terrific time sailing around the bay.
6) Cash died in September, 2003, four months after he lost his second wife, and love of his life, June. The cause of death given was complications from diabetes, but his children believe he died of a broken heart. Do you think that's possible?
Yes. I think my mother died of a broken heart. Lately, I think these events actually have been given a name: Broken Heart Syndrome.
7) Cash was known as "The Man in Black." What color do you wear most often?
I seem to get a lot of pinks and browns. I mostly buy used clothing, and those colors are my favorites. Updated to say, I certainly have a lot of blue as well. Blue and brown go well together.
8) There's a Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville. What's the last museum you visited?
I think the very last one was The Museum of Natural History in Balboa Park. If you come here, don't miss the wonderful museums there. Also, the very last ones we went to may have been several in San Francisco a few summers ago. San Francisco has gorgeous museums!
9) A stretch of Tennessee Highway 31E is known as "Johnny Cash Parkway." What street in your town is named for a famous person?
San Diego has Martin Luther King Highway. I was just on it today for a stretch.
