Saturday9: Walking on Broken Glass

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 to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!

Saturday 9: Walking on Broken Glass (1992)

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

This is an amazing song video!  Loved it .. 💟 Thanks Sam!

1) Annie sings that she feels she's walking on broken glass. What's the most recent item you broke?  A Thermometer. 

2) She sings about being cut until she bleeds. Tell us about a time you needed stitches.  I had stitches for tear duct surgery a couple years ago.

3) This week's featured artist, Annie Lennox, was born on Christmas Day. Do you know anyone whose birthday falls on a holiday? I don't. 

4) When Annie met Dave Stewart, with whom she'd form the duo The Eurthmyics, she was living in Australia and staying in a tiny apartment called a bedsit. The occupant has his/her own combination bedroom/livingroom with cooking facilities, but must share a bathroom. Tell us about one of your early apartments.  My earliest apartment was a little studio very similar to Annie's.  Only it was one story of converted barracks and surrounded by Big trees and green space.  It was very pleasant to live there.

5) After the Eurythmics broke up, Annie went out on her own. Would you rather work independently, or as part of a group?  I'd rather work with a group of people.

6) Among her many honors, Annie Lennox was named chancellor of Scotland's Glasgow Calledonia University. What's the last college campus you visited? What brought you there? In 2014 we attended our daughter's graduation at UC Berkeley.  Quite an accomplishment for a kid battling a potentially fatal disease and trying to work as well as go to school.  I'm glad we were all there to celebrate a big milestone in our family's history.  A happy time.  

7) In 1992, the year this song was recorded, compact discs outsold cassette tapes for the first time. Back in the day, did you enjoy making your own mix tapes? I loved tapes but didn't mix any.  I like tapes better than discs.  But alas, life marches on.....

8) Also in 1992, Johnny Carson made his last appearance as host of The Tonight Show.  The catchphrase, "Here's Johnny!" was associated with the show. Can you think of another popular TV catchphrase?  I'm not familiar with much on TV, so no, I can't think of any at the moment.  As I read other people's Saturday9's, though, I'm sure to recognize some of them.  

 9) Random question: Think of your past week. Now look ahead to the coming week. Would you like it to be more, or less, exciting?  I've had far too much excitement to want anymore of it.  I'm hoping it's less exciting.  I need to just sit and knit and watch my little YouTube favorites and some DVDs.  It's time for me to drop out and chill.  But, before I go....... 

here is the Linkie for this weeks Meme..
