1. What’s a good song with a bad title?
2. Who is named strangely, among musicians or bands you like?
3. What are some album titles you like?
4. Often, greatest hits compilations are simply called Greatest Hits or The Best of, but sometimes they’re titled more creatively and appropriately for the artist, as with Bob Marley & the Wailers’ Legend, Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection, or 1 by the Beatles (a collection of number one hits). If you were to collect all your favorite songs by one of your favorite artists, how would you title the compilation?
5. Among bands you like, who has a great name?

Thanks for participating, and have a safe, Godspeed You! Black Emperor weekend!

I almost never ask yes-no questions here, but they seem appropriate this week for some reason.

1. Has the death of a famous person (not connected to you personally) ever made you cry?
2. Have you ever sent money as relief aid after a disaster?
3. How will the recent declaration affirming alcoholic beverages as cancer-causing affect your consumption?
4. What is the most bizarre (or difficult to understand) movie you’ve seen?
5. How willing and able are you to separate art from artist when a musican, actor, writer, or other creator is discovered to have behaved very badly?

Thanks for participating, and have a wonderful, safe weekend. I am a sucker for a new year (doubly, because my birthday is in the first week of the month), and cannot help but feel this is going to be a great year for us all, filled with joy, kindness, and peace, which I wish for you in abundance.

2. What’s your favorite card game?
3. How confidently and competently do you shuffle a deck of cards?
4. To whom did you last send a non-holiday, non-birthday greeting card?
5. When did you last jot something down on an index card?

Well shoot! I’m so late it’s almost not even Friday in Hawaii. I have 7 minutes. Doggone it. I just completely forgot, even as happy as I’ve been all day that it WAS Friday.

1. What book are you going to read next?
2. What movie will you most likely see next?
3. What are you doing the day after tomorrow?
4. This is going to be a great year, but what are you looking forward to next year?
5. What are you looking forward to opening once you’ve used up the current product?

Thanks for participating, and have a terrific 2025 and a safe weekend!
