Saturday 9: Goodbye (1969)
This song was chosen because it's time to say goodbye to 2024.
Thanks for participating in Saturday 9 this year.
1) In this song, Mary Hopkin asks her lover not to let her sleep too late. Did you wake up this morning on your own, did someone wake you, or were you jangled awake by an alarm clock? On my own time.
2) The lyrics reference "a lonely song." Can you name a song about loneliness? Hey there Loney Girl
3) "Goodbye" was written for Mary by Paul McCartney. He was the one who signed her to her first record contract and produced this and all her Apple Records, including her first big hit, "Those Were the Days." Looking back on 2024, who is someone who gave you a helping hand when you needed it?
Yes, my husband. He drove me to all my medical appointments.
4) This video shows Mary performing on The Ed Sullivan Show while wearing a miniskirt. Minis were very popular in 1969. Did you embrace a fashion trend in 2024?
Not even sure what the trend was. If it is wide pants, then no.
5) Also in 1969, the Colts lost to the New York Jets in Super Bowl III. The game is famous because of all the hype leading up to it, including Joe Namath "guaranteeing" the underdog Jets would win. Do you have a special sports memory of 2024? The Dodgers won the World Series. I watched a lot of the Olympics too!
6) What's the farthest from home you traveled in 2024? San Diego
7) What was the biggest purchase that you made in 2024? A cruise for January 2025
8) What was your favorite book of 2024? The Bible and Left Behind series (16 books)
9) What are you looking forward to most in 2025? Good health, the cruise and trip to Hawaii.
