Rock & Roll Friday
Welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their songs. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!
Today we picked R.E.M.
Today we picked R.E.M.
1. MAN IN THE MOON “If you believe, they put a man on the moon…”
What public scandal such as Roswell, Kennedy Shooting, Agent Orange, etc do you question?
~ I don't know if I "question" it, but I don't live far from Kecksburg where a UFO supposedly fell out of the sky in the 60's with many witnesses. The government showed up, took over the scene, and hauled whatever it was away. I don't really think the government is hiding aliens, but it would still be cool to find out what was such a big secret.

Have you ever said something to someone that was negative about a religion only to find that person was of the faith you were speaking about?
~ I don't think so. I am respectful of other's beliefs even if I don't agree with them.5. NIGHTSWIMMING “Nightswimming, remembering that night…”
Have you ever gone skinny dipping at night, or night swimming in a lake, pond, river, beach, pool?
~ Yes, and I'll just let you wonder which one or ones.
6. THE ONE I LOVE “This one goes out to the one I love. This one goes out to the one I left behind”
6. THE ONE I LOVE “This one goes out to the one I love. This one goes out to the one I left behind”

9. DON’T GO BACK TO ROCKVILLE “Don’t go back to Rockville, and waste another year”
Where will you never go back to?

Yep.
I missed that UFO thing and shrimp is another food I like. I am guessing the swimming thing was more than one :)
The song "If You're Reading This" really moves me also. You got a nice blog.
Hi Jim! Thank you and thanks for visiting me. Oh, you'd be guessing right. ;)
Beautiful songs, Stacy!
I love your heart! Hope Megan checked in!
Great answer for #4. It's what I said bothers me about most people...not respecting other people's beliefs.
Beth...thank you. I love you, too. I wasn't waiting for Meg to check in yesterday, though she did. From HOOTERS! LOL She rode along to Virginia to keep her friend company when she took her kids to their father for the holiday.
Carielle...Thanks for visiting me and commenting. Respect is something we hear everyone yammering for these days, but there isn't much of it actually going on. Everyone should learn that it's possible to disagree without getting ugly about it.
