There's a reason why I'm single.. LOL

Saturday 9: I Got You, Babe (recommended by Thank You Great Spirit)

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

1) Popular music has produced almost countless groups, but not that many duos. Besides Sonny & Cher, can you name another?Hmmmm, a duo?  Big & Rich, Captain & Tennile (however you spell it)... there are plenty

2)  Hearing this recording from his clock radio is how Bill Murray woke up every morning in Groundhog Day. What woke you up this morning?
I think I had an alarm set for 8:00.  I shut that bitch up LOL .. and then slept until 10:30 or so.  I was a tired bunky

3) When she was growing up, Cher practiced her autograph for when she became a star. Is your signature legible? Or is it more of a scrawl?
It's legit legible.  my son's on the other hand?  not recognizable as his name LOL

4) In addition to show biz, Sonny & Cher had many careers: Sonny was a restauranteur and politician, Cher is an interior designer. Would you like to try your hand at any of those professions?
I'd love to own a bakery/coffee shop.  

5) In 1965, when this song topped the charts, Sonny and Cher were as famous for their wardrobe as for their music. Sonny was fond of tall, heavy-heeled boots while Cher often paired granny dresses with bare feet. What's on your feet right now?
Flip flops.  My standard wear for the summer.  But they can't be the cheap ones, because I have plantar fascitis in my left foot.  I have to wear good ones.  i.e. - not cheap..

6) By 1968, their career crashed. Cher's early attempts as a movie actress failed, their records stopped selling and the IRS came after them for back taxes. Have you ever been audited?
No, but I owe the IRS money for 2 years straight because of mistakes I've made on my taxes.  And for someone that lives paycheck to paycheck?  Not fun.  

7) In 1971 they were on top again with their TV show. But their marriage was coming apart. Sonny said, "For the last 5 years I worried about our career, not about us." Have you ever been guilty of putting career before relationship? 

Relationship?  Career?  I'll let you know when I have either or both..
8) By 1972 they were living separate lives -- in the same house. For the sake of The Sonny and Cher Comedy Hour, they pretended to be happily married another year and a half. Tell us about a time when you pretended to be happy, but weren't.

With my ex boyfriend - I stayed longer than I should have because my son was happy.  
9) While their separation and divorce were bitter, they resumed their friendship when Cher showed up at the opening of his restaurant in 1976. Have you ever made the first move in repairing a relationship?

More than once.  But a word to the wise?  When you have to put that much effort in repairing a relationship?  It's not worth it.  There's a reason why I've never been married..  I have yet to find anyone worth fighting that hard for. 

 

Happy Saturday :)
