Saturday 9: Easy Lover

.

.

1) This song is about a heartbreaker who just can't commit. Have you ever fallen for an "easy lover?"

.

.

Oh, gosh, yes. Once or twice. "Heartbreaker" is really the right word here!

.

.

2) This song is one of Crazy Sam's "earwigs." Each time she hears it, it bores in and stays in her head forever! (Hear it here, if you dare!) Do you have a song like that?

.

.

I have lots of songs that do that. I find that when I really can't get a song out of my head, it helps to write down the lyrics. Then, POOF! they're gone.
.

.
3) Both Phil Collins and Philip Bailey* have stars on The Hollywood Walk of Fame. Have you ever visited Hollywood?

.

.

Actually, yes, with my daughter Chloë in 2007. She's an on-again, off-again actress/model and was there to compete. She did well!

.

.
4) Hollywood is the movie capital of the world. What's the last movie you saw in the theater?

.

.

I took my son Jack to see Planes last weekend. We had free tickets, which is good, because the movie wasn't that great. I'm glad I didn't pay to see it!
.

.
5) Phil Collins was a child actor in his native England, appearing onstage in musicals like Oliver! Can you think of another child performer who went on to entertainment industry success as an adult?
.

.

Sure. Drew Barrymore came to the top of my mind in an instant, but there are plenty of others, certainly.

.

. 

6) Philip Bailey joined Earth, Wind & Fire while still in college, so he's been a performer throughout his working life, as well. Have you ever been tempted to try your hand at show biz?
.

.

It has crossed my mind once or twice. I would love to sing for a living, or even just in public without having a panic attack, but several instances of strep throat in 6th grade left my voice unreliable at best. I don't think I'd be a good actor.

.

.

7) Is there a profession that you never, under any circumstances, want to try?

.

.

Anything that involves sitting in an office, at a desk, for hours on end, day in and day out - or worse, a cubicle. Ugh. I cannot bear the thought of such tenacious drudgery.

.

.
8) What are you looking forward to right now?

.

.

Hubs retired from the Navy a few months ago and has been looking for work ever since. To say things have gotten "tight" would be an extreme understatement. I'm looking forward to having some sort of decent, reliable income again!

.

.

9) Do you suffer from trypanophobia (fear of needles/injections)? Or can you bravely donate blood or get a shot, without freaking out? 

.

.

I don't suffer from it. Since my blood type is O-neg, I donate as frequently as I physically can, and it doesn't bother me. I do have to look away while they poke me, though - those are some fat needles!

.
