Saturday 9: Drivers License (2021)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about a girl who just got her drivers license. Who taught you to drive? My dad. I took State Requirements in 10th grade. Then that summer I took drivers education and got my permit. My dad would take me driving in his big Buick and his small red VW that was a stick shift. I got my license right after my 16th birthday. I got to drive during my Junior and Senior years. After I graduated from high school and got a job, my parents helped me buy my first car.
2) Do you like your drivers license/state ID photo? It's fine. I don't care about how it looks.
3) Think back to the first ticket you received. How old were you, and what was it for? I have had 2 tickets. My first was in my 30's. I entered the intersection on a yellow and it turned red. The officer said it was red. The second time I was in my 50's. I changed lanes too late and got pulled over. I went to traffic school for both. The first time I had to go to a class. The second time I took a class on line.
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? No I don't think so when it comes to my husband and we have been married 47 years.
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? Yes a couple in Temecula California that is around 35 miles so of me. My sister worked at one of them and took me and some friends on a tour. We were reading the book called Secrets of the Vine. You can find the webpage I did on our visit by clicking on the picture at the end. I also went there with my sister and two cousins. We went to another winery for a wedding reception.
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.) I have a gift card for Old Navy to use. I need to go there and get some stocking gifts.
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? Yes I do remember her. I watched her on The Mickey Mouse Club and teen beach movies with Franki Avalon.
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? I am reading The Three Women of Christmas right now. I don't think I will read anything else except my Bible. I do plan to read more in 2022. I would like to read the Left Behind Series again.
9) Random Question: What is the longest line you ever stood in, and was it worth it? Probably Space Mountain and Star Tours. At least 2 hours. Oh and at least a two hour wait when the first Star Wars movie came out back in the 70's. It was worth it for sure. I have seen all of them!
