Susan
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!
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) In this song, our hero tells Susan that "no other girl could ever take the place of you." Crazy Sam feels that no other earmuffs could ever take the place of the ones she left in restaurant coat room last month. Tell us about something you recently broke, lost or misplaced.
I recently lost an earring, that was a Christmas gift, and we searched every inch of the house but couldn't find it anywhere.
2) When this song was first released back in 1968, the name Susan was very popular. According the Social Security Administration, it was one of the top 10 baby girl names of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. Today it's not even in the top 100. Do you know anyone named Susan (or Suzanne)?

Yes.
3) The Buckinghams were Chicago's attempt to get in on The British Invasion begun by the Beatles. (Hence the silly suits.) But they took their name from Chicago's famous Buckingham Fountain. If Crazy Sam visited your neighborhood, what local site would you recommend she check out?

The Belrockton Museum
4) Chicago is known for deep dish pizza. Describe your dream pizza. (Calories, carbs and gluten need not be a factor because it's dream pizza!)

It's pretty basic. A soft, chewy crust, a tomato sauce with a lot of garlic, mozzarella, pepperoni and ham. Nothing fancy.
5) The Buckinghams got their big break by winning a local "battle of the bands." Do you often go to concerts or bars to listen to live music?
No.
6) The best-selling book in 1968 (the year "Susan" was released) was Airport by Arthur Hailey. It was set during a snowstorm at Lincoln International, a fictional airport based on Chicago's O'Hare. What's the most recent airport you flew to? Why were you there?
It's been years but it would be the Gerald R. Ford in Grand Rapids, MI, and my husband and I were coming home from our honeymoon.
7) Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs, Sox ... Chicago is a big sports town. What's your favorite pro team?
I'm not big into sports but I'd have to go with the Detroit Tigers.
8) Thinking of sports, did you watch the Olympics? If yes, which events?
Only a little bit, while my husband was watching.
9) Do you consider yourself an idealist or a pragmatist?
A little bit of both :)
I checked out the link to that museum. What a charming setting! I bet it's beautiful when the flowers are blooming. I love it when communities preserve their history like this.
ReplyDeleteI have just started remembering to wear ear rings again. Retirement makes me lazy. I already lost one the other day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely museum. I love local museums, they are filled with such interesting stuff. Thanks for sharing the link.
ReplyDeleteI love flying out of GR. It's nice and close. Not as close as Kzoo, but close! Cool museum, I may have to take the drive and check it out.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many ways to enjoy pizza. Thank goodness.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that Belding had a museum!
