Saturday 9: No More Tears (Enough Is Enough) 1979
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This lyrics use weather as metaphor for romance. Here at Saturday 9, we're more literal. How do the skies look where you are this morning?
A. Since it is 6:30 in the evening, it is dark. The sky is dark because it is rainy and there are no stars to be seen.
2) According to Merriam-Webster, "enough is enough" is what you say when you want something to stop because you "can no longer accept or deal with it." When did you recently say -- out loud or to yourself -- "enough is enough."

A. Just this past Thursday when we had another horrible day with my mother in law.
3) Grammy winner Luther Vandross began his career as a background singer and performed on "No More Tears." Tell us about one of your early jobs.

A. I worked at the local public library as a library page, which was basically a book shelver. On the weekend, we were able to work at the circulation desk in the children's department. I loved that job!
4) Both Donna Summer and Barbra Streisand made slight changes to their first names. Summer was christened "LaDonna," while Streisand's parents spelled her name the more conventional "Barbara." When she was in high school, meme mistress Samantha Winters went from "Sammy" to "Sam." Did you ever make a similar change to your first name?

A. No, I have never made a change to my first name. I would like to at times as I am not fond of it.
5) Hair was higher maintenance in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Streisand and Summer are both sporting styles that would require chemical treatment, like a perm or relaxer. Today's looks are less rigidly styled and tend to be smoother or slightly messy. How often do you change your look?

A. I don't change my look often, but I am looking to add a little bold color to it soon. How we loved our Aqua Net hair spray in the 80"s.
6) In 1979, it seems every kid was asking Santa for Star Wars toys. Some things don't change, since the Star Wars franchise remains popular with children and toymakers after more than 40 years. What book or toy did you love as a child that remains popular today?

A. Barbie. She is still a popular doll today, although her look has changed a bit. She is still a sought after lady!
7) Thinking of things that endure ... In 1979, the #1 show in the ratings was 60 Minutes. It's still on, every Sunday night, and in the summer of 2019 it came in at #4 in the Nielsen ratings. What's the most recent show you watched? Was it news, sports or entertainment?

A. I am currently watching "Holiday Baking Championship". Such a neat show and I sure wish I could bake like these people.
8) In 1979, the price for a dozen eggs averaged 85¢. Today, it's about twice that. Are you more likely to use eggs to prepare a main course (like an omelette or Eggs Benedict) or as part of a recipe (anything from a cake to a meatloaf)?

A. I would be more likely to use eggs in a recipe, but I do like to make omelettes and quiche.
9) Random question: You’re alone in your car, driving through your neighborhood on a bright, sunny day. You get a flat tire. You have a spare and a jack in your trunk. Would you fix it yourself or call for help?

I answered Barbie, too! I think Barbie is timeless.
ReplyDeleteYes, she is.
DeleteGreat question/answers. I also would say Barbie and I wouldn't want to change a tire, but I could:) Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
ReplyDeleteI would not want to change a tire, but could as long as I could get the bolts broke free.
DeleteThe sky is crystal clear this morning though "They" say it's suppose to rain on Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteEnough is enough to all the law enforcement officers being killed.
I worked at the Snack Bar at Sears while in college.
Never really changed my first name except to call myself Suzy among my close friends.
I don't really change my looks..when my perm goes flat it certainly changes things for the worst.
I guess my bike would be my favorite....Nancy Drew series...I guess that really dates me!
American Pickers
eggs for breakfast every morning...not too fond of baking more that out of necessity.
I would call for help..too old to do it comfortably now but I could if I was really desperate.
I did like my bike and the Nancy Drew books. I also love Little House books.
