Hurt So Bad
Saturday 9: Hurt So Bad (1980)
Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.
1) Do you have any aches or pains this morning? My lower back always hurts.
2) In this song, Linda Ronstadt complains that her ex doesn't get what she's going through. Have you recently felt misunderstood? I don't think the administrators understand the severity of what is going on in my classroom with the kids running and crawling on the furniture. I tell them and they see it. Maybe they are just ignoring me, which is not good. I think they honestly expect me to just deal with it. The other kids cannot learn. This is why teachers are quitting. Well, the sped director (special education) told them one of the kids needed to be referred. We shall see.
3) Now let's put a positive spin on it: Is there someone in your life who gets you completely? My teacher bestie Tanya. She understands everything I am feeling and has been through it herself.
4) Linda recorded a best-selling album in Spanish, and has also performed in French, German and Italian. How many languages do you speak? I only fluently speak English. I know a little Spanish and French, but not enough to matter.
5) Linda once dated George Lucas of Star Wars fame. Who is your favorite Star Wars character? Yoda
6) Steve Martin has spoken affectionately about Linda and their romance in the 1970s. Are you a Steve Martin fan? I LOVE him. Have you guys watched Only Murders in the Building on Hulu with him, Martin Short and Selena Gomez? So funny.
7) Linda worked consistently and successfully with record producer Peter Asher throughout the 70s and 80s. Tell us about someone you enjoyed working beside. I enjoy working with my assistants in my classroom, Debbie and Stacy. Debbie had cancer and has been recovering, but she will be back on Tuesday. We do not have school on Mondays...4 day school week. Hopefully things get better when she comes back. The substitute is not up for all of the behaviors I have. She just watches Stacy and I work.
8) In 1980, when this song was popular, People magazine named author Stephen King one of the year's most intriguing people. Have you read any of his books or short stories? no, only his movies. I did follow him on facebook though because of his corgi. I have 11/22/63 on my tbr.
9) Random question: Looking back on last week, would you describe it as exciting or boring? It has actually been manageable. One of my heavy hitter kids was gone making the classroom easier.
Ok, Saturday Karl, Josh and I have reserved seats to see the movie Wicked. I am so excited. It is also our town Christmas parade day. I will be around to visit though. See you soon
