Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this week's song, Lainey Wilson longs to hit the open road. What do you yearn for this morning?
A. Peaceful resolution of a family matter.
2) She says her heart runs on dreams and gasoline. What fuels you?
A. This is a hard question. My dreams and desires have been stomped on such much that I have mostly given up. I get up to take care of my husband and our home, and to try to be a good wife to him, so I guess my love for my fellow is what fuels me.
3) Lainey sings that her heart has been "drug through the mud." The correct past tense of "drag" is "dragged," but in parts of our country, "drug" is sometimes used. Can you think of any other grammatically incorrect song lyrics?
A. I can't get no satisfaction.
4) She tells us her truck could benefit from being dusted off and shined up. Could your vehicle use a little TLC?
A. My car could use a wash, yes.
5) Before making it big in country music, Lainey supported herself by doing odd jobs, including appearing as a Hannah Montana impersonator for kids' parties. What's the most unusual job you've held?
A. I don't know that any of my jobs were unusual. Being a news reporter is out of the 9-to-5 realm, but when I was working it wasn't an unusual job to have. In the future I think it won't exist as a job at all.
6) In addition to singing, Lainey has acted, appearing in 5 episodes of the series Yellowstone. Are you a fan of the show?
A. I watched a few episodes of season 1 of Yellowstone and found it too violent for me to handle.
7) She loves Southern comfort food like mac and cheese and biscuits and gravy. What's on the menu at your place this weekend?
A. Pork chops, if I can cook them so they are edible.
8) In 2022, when this song was on the charts, Queen Elizabeth II died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. Have you ever been to Scotland?
A. I have never been to Scotland in this lifetime. According to my mother, when I was about three, I started telling her about a castle in Scotland where I lived and died. It scared her so much she made me stop talking about it. Apparently, I was a scullery maid who met a violent end.
9) Random question – Let's pretend you're back in kindergarten. Which of these would young you prefer: a toy kitchen set, kid-sized gardening tools, or a mini trampoline?
A. I would prefer the kid-sized gardening tools. I used to enjoy gardening when I was young and my bones didn't hurt so much.

Wow. Imagine a three year old talking about her violent past life! You've got the start of a great novel there.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that your dreams and desires have been squashed. I say try again! Make a list of 3 "dreams" and then set about fulfilling them. Except for the one you had as a child in Scotland!! YIKES!!
ReplyDeleteI am not interested in Yellowstone either other than it's (the National Park) on my want to visit one day list! :)
I used to eat pork (haven't since 2016) but when I did i would put the pork chops on the grill on nice days with BBQ sauce or in the slow cooker with a can of french onion soup. they came out so moist and tasty. Good luck with the cooking!
I hope you have a happy Saturday
It always hurts my heart to hear you sound so hopeless. I wish I could wave a magic wand and give you joy and hope. I agree with you about newspapers and the reporters who write for them...a dying breed. The scullery maid business is indeed creepy! I used to enjoy lots of things when my bones didn't ache. Old age kind of sucks that way.
ReplyDeleteI hope the family matter is resolved smoothly for you. I went back and forth between the kitchen and the gardening tools.
ReplyDeleteA three year old talking about a past life … that would scare most parents
