Saturday 9- Live Like You Were Dying

Live Like You Were Dying (2003)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.
 
1) This song is about a man whose father advises him to live life to the fullest, to become "the friend you'd like to have." How about you? Are you the friend you'd like to have?  Yes.  I think so.  I give people space, but still enjoy going out with friends sometimes.  I am kind, honest and stick up for my friends.

2) The song lists several "bucket list" items: skydiving, mountain climbing, riding a bull. Have you done any of those things? Would you like to?  I do not want to do any of those things.  I just would like to travel more for my bucket list.

3) In the music video, Tim McGraw is wearing a white button-down shirt, blue jeans and a cowboy hat. Which of those items is in your wardrobe?  blue jeans

4) He wears a cowboy hat because he is embarrassed by the size of his forehead. When you wear a hat, are you more likely doing it for style, like Tim, or for protection from the elements?  I only wear a hat on hat day at school (for style) or at a ball game (protection from the elements).  They make my head itch.

5) McGraw's biological father was Tug McGraw, pitcher for the Mets and Phillies. How did your baseball team do this season?  We are still alive for the second round of the playoffs.  St. Louis Cardinals.

 

6) Tim McGraw and wife Faith Hill live just outside of Nashville. They enjoy inviting friends over to sit around a bonfire, drinking beer and playing guitars. Tell us about the most recent gettogether you had with friends.  I mostly get together with my girlfriends.  I think it was over the summer when we went to the tea house and then went shopping.  We work together, so we see each other everyday.  We do not go out that often.

7) Tim likes his tattoos. He admits his silliest one -- a leprechaun wearing a cowboy hat -- was acquired during a night of drinking. Do you have a tattoo? If so, are you glad you have it and would you get it again?  I do not have tattoos and do not want any for myself.

8) In 2003, when this song was popular, the supersonic Concord took its last flight. When did you most recently board a plane? What was your destination?  I have never flown in a plane.  We always drive when we go somewhere.  We get to see so much more that way.  We rarely travel though.
 
9) Random question: When did you last walk around the house naked?  I do not do that now at all, but over 20 years ago was the last...but not much.  I always have my clothes on and shoes when I am awake.
