Adventure time? LOL

I Feel the Earth Move

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!




If you're not familiar with today's song, you can hear it here.


1) This song is from the album Tapestry, one of the all-time best-sellers (more than 25,000,000 copies sold worldwide). Is it in your collection? 
I actually used to own the 8 track.  LOL  How's that for dating myself?  One of my favorites!
2) It's about that glorious passion you feel when you first fall for someone. How many times have you been in love? 
hmmmmm.... I've been in lust a number of times, but earth-quaking, booty shaking love love?  Twice.
3) San Francisco radio stations briefly removed "I Feel the Earth Move" from their playlists after the 1989 earthquake. Have you ever been in an earthquake and literally felt "the earth move under your feet?"
No.  Bummer. 
 

4) Carole King is the first and only woman to win the Gershwin Prize for songwriting from the Library of Congress. Here's your chance to brag a little -- tell us about an accolade you have received.
I won honorable mention in a photography contest once.  a LONG time ago.  LOL

5) Carole wrote "You've Got a Friend," which was a mega hit for her good pal, James Taylor. King and Taylor have known one another for more than 40 years, but have never been romantically involved. Do you have any platonic friends of the opposite sex?
Yup.  And it's not even like Harry met Sally.  We're really just friends.
6) Like more than 80% of the population, Carole is right handed. Are you right handed, left handed (10%) or that most rare of all, ambidextrous (less than 10%)?
I can write with both hands, and do some things righty, some lefty - so I guess I'm one of the less than 10%..

7) One of Carole King's earliest hits was Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion." Little Eva was the teenager King hired to care for her young children. Tell us about a sitter who cared for you when you were little.
Wait, I'm supposed to remember that shit?  Hells no..
8) Beautiful is the title of the Broadway play about Carole King's life. If we were producing your lifestory, what would you want us to call it?
Aaaaaaaaaaadventure Time!

9) Carole wrote "Pleasant Valley Sunday," the Monkees' song about conspicuous consumption. When Crazy Sam looks at her crowded shelf of hair products (paraben-free conditioner, keratin-restoring conditioner, hair masque, hot oil conditioner …), she realizes she's guilty of it herself. Have you bought anything recently that you later decided was a waste of money?

Yeah.  I got the boy some pub chips with his grilled cheese last week.  He didn't like them.  I knew I should have gotten the cottage cheese!  LOL

You're the second person to mention Harry Met Sally and I've never seen the movie. Guess I need to catch that one sometime.

I used to own the 8-track, too!

8 tracks were like vcr tapes in so many ways include being a waste of a lot of space.

How cool that you can write with either hand! I'm jealous. I can't even efficiently brush my teeth using my left hand.

So what are pub chips? Another ambi here! :D

I'm honoured to comment on the less than 10% ambidextrous answer!

I also think a play would befit the title you choose. I guess it would make aaaaaaaaaaaaaabsolutely grand reading!
