Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about a girl who just got her driver's license. Who taught you to drive?
A. My father. I was driving when I was 12 years old. A straight shift, even.
2) Do you like your driver's license/state ID photo?
A. It's a driver's license. I need it. It doesn't matter if I like it or not.
3) Think back to the first ticket you received. How old were you, and what was it for?
A. I received a ticket for a wreck; I rear-ended someone. That was about 1994, I guess. I topped a hill, and a car was stopped for a school bus. I hit the car. I was on my way to a job interview. Busted up my knee. I had to go to driver's school and then there was no more ticket and nothing against my record. Driver's school, incidentally, was a joke. I didn't get the job, either.
4) In this week's song, Olivia Rodrigo is brokenhearted, driving through her boyfriend's neighborhood, certain that he has taken up with the sophisticated blonde girl. When it comes to romance, do you have a jealous streak?
A. No. My husband is a faithful man.
5) Olivia grew up in Temecula, California. Temecula is home to 40 wineries and dozens of tasting rooms. Have you ever attended a wine tasting?
A. No. I don't drink.
6) Her first on-screen appearance was in a commercial for Old Navy stores. Old Navy is owned by the same company as Banana Republic, Gap and Athletica. Have you done any of your holiday shopping at one of those stores? (Yes, their websites count.)
A. No.
7) She went on to star in projects for Disney studios. That's also how pop stars Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, and Christina Aguilera got started. Arguably the first teen star created by Disney studios was Annette Funicello. Do you remember her?
A. I do. She was on the Mouseketeers.
8) "Drivers License" was one of this year's most popular songs. One of this year's most popular books is John Grisham's The Judge's List. Do you expect to do much reading between now and the end of the year? If so, what's on your TBR (to be read) list?
A. It's Better This Way, by Debbie Macomber, A Queen in Hiding, by Sarah Kozloff. If I get those read that will be a lot of reading; the last book is about 600 pages long.
9) Random Question: What is the longest line you ever stood in, and was it worth it?
A. It would have been for something at Disney in Orlando, and no. Nothing is worth standing in line for, if you ask me.

I have read several Debbie Macomber books in the past. With cell phones in hand, one person and can leave while the other walks around. Makes the wait easier. That is what I did while in Vegas. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about standing in lines, plus as I've gotten older and have problems with my feet it seems that standing in line aggravates it like nothing else.
ReplyDeleteI take #2 as a "No, I don't like it."
ReplyDelete#3 -- How awful to be in an accident while en route to a job interview. Stress on top of stress!
#3 sounds awful!
ReplyDeleteI agree. Waiting in line pre-cell phone days was soul-crushing. Nothing was worth that, lol, now that I think about it
ReplyDelete#3 I forgot about that ticket... following too closely.
ReplyDeleteI had more than a car length between the car in front and me, when a teenager plowed into my car pushing me into the car in front of me. I told the cop that and he did you hit the car in front of you? Yes. Then you were too close.
She never even applied the brakes and then she took off out of state, she was uninsured and I got stuck paying for my car and the car in front of me to be fixed.
Yes, Disney
ReplyDeleteI am with you on the lines, I do not like standing in line waiting. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.
