Saturday Nine is The Cookies, song is "Chains"

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 partici-pants 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! 

Friends, if you want to join into the Saturday 9 fun, go here. 

Saturday 9: "Chains"

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here

1) The song is about a woman who is in love with her boyfriend, but still attracted to someone else. Do you believe a woman can be in love with more than one person at a time?  
No.  I don't believe it's possible.  Attraction is not Love.  Love is a deep commitment.

2) What about the male of the species? Do you believe a man can be in love with more than one person at a time?  
See answer 1.  Equal rights an all, ya know?

3) This lyrics were by Gerry Goffin and the music by Carole King. Carole was a favorite guest of David Letterman's. When she appeared on his show, he often commented on how impressed he was by her firm handshake. She credited her memorable grip to time spent milking goats on her Idaho farm. Have you poured goat milk on your cereal? Eaten goat milk yogurt or cheese?

Yes.  Grandma kept cows, and we drank their milk (and the home cheeses that were made from it )throughout WWII, though she kept no goats.  

And, the only animals my mother kept on her little farm were small ones which she raised for eggs and meat.  But a nearby farmer kept goats and, later on, another kept cows.  Mother traded for those products.  So, yes, thanks to the "Farm Barter Network", I've consumed both goat's milk and goat cheese.  

And you expected a simple "yes", or "no".  Buhahahahaha!

4) When it first came out, "Chains" was a favorite of 18-year-old George Harrison. It was at his recommendation that the Beatles added it to their early stage shows and even recorded it on their first album. When you were in high school, what was one of your favorite songs?

"Earth Angel" was the first one that lept to mind.  That's when we all were collecting recordings on little 45's.  I tell you, it was so much fun to go into a record store and buy these little things.



But then there was "Rock around the Clock"!  I have this record though, sadly, it's cracked.



5) In 1962, when this song was released, epic movies were popular on the big screen. The Longest Day was three hours long, and Lawrence of Arabia ran more than three hours and a half hours. Today's most popular movies are nowhere near that long. Do you think the average American has a shorter attention span today than he did in 1962? 

Sadly, I believe this is true.  I blame all the poisons in the air and water.  This is no joke.

6) In 1962, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy went on a two-week goodwill tour of India and Pakistan. She received a ceremonial "welcome necklace" in India. Made without jewels or precious metals -- just beads, sequins and paper -- it was valued by the First Lady for its delicate appearance and craftsmanship, and today it's on display at the John F. Kennedy Library. Tell us about a piece of jewelry that means a great deal to you, and why.
I have my Grandmother's Locket.  She died when I was ten, and my Grandpa sent it to mother, who gave it to me.

7) In Pakistan, Mrs. Kennedy made headlines by riding a camel. Have you ever ridden a horse, donkey, camel or elephant?

I've only ridden horses.  Well, maybe there was a donkey in there somewhere.. can't recall.  I was going to ride a camel one year, at a circus, but the line was "a mile long" and I felt sorry for the camel.  

8) Also in 1962, the New York Newspaper Guild went on strike, so the nation's largest city went 114 days without a single daily paper. In 2018, how do you get your news?

I get it on the internet.  The local Paper is a rag.  I'd like to live in an enlightened city because here, the whole place seems teeming with and being run by Big Moneymen.  
My favorite newspaper  person retired and went on to write for the Reader.  That's something I DO read from time to time.

9) Random question -- Complete this sentence: Before I go to sleep, 
I always brush my teeth, take a couple of meds, and start to listen to the "...wind of my soul".

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9.
