Rock 'n Roll Fridays

R.E.M.

Hi I'm DJ KathyA! Welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their songs. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked R.E.M.

1. MAN IN THE MOON “If you believe, they put a man on the moon…”

What public scandal such as Roswell, Kennedy Shooting, Agent Orange, etc do you question?

I think that the Chuck Barris possibly being a CIA agent is pretty interesting.

2. RADIO FREE EUROPE “Radio Free Europe, radio free europe, calling out…”
Have you ever used a shortwave radio or listened to another country’s radio broadcast?
I don't think so.

3. IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT “It’s the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine”

What would you eat if you knew it was the end of the world soon?

Probably a little bit of everything!  Cheese manicotti, filet mignon, pizza, a bloomin' onion, etc.

4. LOSING MY RELIGION “Losing my religion, and I don’t know, oh no I’ve said too much…”

Have you ever said something to someone that was negative about a religion only to find that person was of the faith you were speaking about?

No.  I avoid religous conversations all together.  I have my beliefs but I've found that most people just want to push theirs on you and I don't care to deal with that.

5. NIGHTSWIMMING “Nightswimming, remembering that night…”

Have you ever gone skinny dipping at night, or night swimming in a lake, pond, river, beach, pool?
No.

6. THE ONE I LOVE “This one goes out to the one I love. This one goes out to the one I left behind”

Is there a song you hear that reminds you of someone in your past every time you hear it?

Yes.  There are a few songs that remind me of different people.

7. STAND “Stand in the place where you work, now face west…”

What was the last childhood game you played as an adult?
I played hide and seek with my daughter the other day :)

8. EVERYBODY HURTS “Everybody hurts, everybody cries, sometimes, sometimes everything is wrong…”

What is wrong right now?

My neck is a little sore.  I probably slept on it wrong but I'm sure it will work itself out in a little bit.

9. DON’T GO BACK TO ROCKVILLE “Don’t go back to Rockville, and waste another year”

Where will you never go back to?

There's a  house of a certain  someone's I probably won't go back to.  Too much drama!

10. ORANGE CRUSH “I’ve got my spine, I’ve got my orange crush”

What is your favorite fruit flavor and your favorite way to have it?

Watermelon.  And my favorite way to have it is in a watermelon martini :)

11. SOUTH CENTRAL RAIN “Did you never call? I waited for your call…”

What was the last call you were waiting for?

 I had to wait for my daughter's doctor's office to call me back for an appointment.

12. DRIVE “What if you did what if you walked? What if you rocked around the clock?”

What was the last thing you did that took hours and hours to finish?

Pretty much any of my crochet projects!

13. POP SONG “Should we talk about the weather…Should we talk about the government?”

What was the last thing you said about the weather and the government?

Weather ~ It's really coming down out there!

Government ~ UGH!
