Rock 'n Roll Fridays

(Link in meme-roll)
We will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick an singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their lyrics. Today we picked Bob Dylan. The song titles are in bold caps and the lyrics are in bold. Here's Rock 'n Roll Fridays!

1. TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’ “And there’s no tellin’ who that it’s namin’ for the loser now will be later to win, For the times they are a changin’”
What would you do or play at a Casino?
I play video poker, mostly. Occasionally, slots, but they bore the shit outta me.
2. ON DESOLATION ROW “To her, death is quite romantic, She wears an iron vest. Her profession’s her religion, her sin is her lifelessness”
What was the worst job you ever had?
I temped one summer and several of the office jobs I was sent to were afraid to let me actually do anything, so I sat around for 8 hours with nothing to do. How dumb is that.
3. DON’T THINK TWICE IT’S ALLRIGHT “I ain’t sayin you treated me unkind, you could have done better but I don’t mind. You just kinda wasted my precious time. Don’t think twice it’s all right”
How do you waste your time besides memes?
Facebook, and the infrequent (of late) nap.
4. IT AIN’T ME BABE “You say you’re lookin for someone, never weak but always strong. To protect you an’ defend you whether you are right or wrong. Someone to open each and every door, It ain’t me babe”
What traits make up the ideal mate for you?
Sense of humor, smart, stable (no drama), family I can stand, patience, God has to be in there somewhere...
5. JUST LIKE A WOMAN “She takes just like a woman, yes she does, she makes love just like a woman, yes she does, and she aches just like a woman, but she breaks just like a little girl”
What woman would make a great president?
Molly Ivins would have ROCKED...sigh. I dunno--I'm not sure I'd want to destroy anyone by wishing this on them. On the other hand, Elizabeth Edwards has been through everything else; why not this too?
6. KNOCKIN ON HEAVEN’S DOOR “Mama put my guns in the ground I can’t shoot them anymore, that long black cloud is comin’ down, I feel like I’m knockin’ on Heaven’s door”
Have you ever fired a rifle, handgun or other firearm?
Not yet. My nephew has promised to take me to the range one of these days with one of his many firearms.
7. LIKE A ROLLING STONE “You used to laugh about everybody that was hangin’ out, Now you don’t seem so proud, about havin’ to scrounge for your next meal”
Have you ever been on Welfare (the Dole), or collected Unemployment Insurance Benefits?
Nope. I was fully unpaid when I was unemployed, otherwise known as being a Stay-At-Home-Mom.
8. MAGGIE’S FARM “Everybody says she’s the brains behind Pa, She’s 68 but says she’s 24”
When was the last time you lied about your age?
I have said that I've already turned the age I will be in November many times over the last few months. I know that doesn't make any sense...oh, well. I don't really lie about my age.
9. MR TAMBORINE MAN “Hey Mr Tamborine Man, play a song for me, I’m not sleepy and there is no place I’m goin’ to.”
Have you ever played a musical instrument?
I took piano lessons for about 3 years as a child, and played flute for my teenage years. Oh, and I play handbells at church.
10. ONE MORE CUP OF COFFEE “One more cup of coffee for the road. One more cup of coffee ‘for I go…to the valley below”
What brand of coffee do you drink and how do you take it?
The only thing I use coffee for is making (some) guests happy, and scenting the fridge/freezer.
11. ONE TOO MANY MORNINGS “Down the street the dogs are barkin’, and the day is getting’ dark. As the night comes in a fallin, The dogs ‘ll lose their bark” 
When was the last time a dog barked near you?
We have loads of dogs in the neighborhood. Some of them bark a lot. I can't think of when I've been around a barking dog lately, however. It happens either too often or too rarely to notice.
12. SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK BLUES “Look out kid, don’t matter what you did. Walk on your tip toes, don’t try NO DOZ, better stay away from those”
When you have to stay awake what do you do when you are very sleepy?
No-Doz is the only thing that has ever worked for me. That 5-Hour Energy stuff...doesn't work. Otherwise, it's roll the windows down, turn the music up, count forwards or backwards, have people talk to me....and eventually give up and pull off the road. If I'm not driving, I just keep moving around constantly. Standing, walking, running, NO sitting!
13. TANGLED UP IN BLUE “I was layin in bed wondrin if she’d changed at all. If her hair was still red…”
What color(s) has your hair been?
It started as light brown, darkened as I aged to dark brown, started turning gray at about age 20, and is now a combination of all those plus ash blonde and auburn.

Yes, it does make sense. (My birthday is in November too.) But I'm turning the big one next year, and I talk as though it's already happened. By the time it does I will be SO acclimated...

I REALLY want to go along to the range with y'all! :D

Cat. said...

You know this isn't the 'cute one', right???

amy said...

I just want to see you shoot! Sometimes a gun is just a gun, Aunt Cat. ;)

DJ KathyA said...

Handbells! I played them at church as a teen. They are cool when you get a song rolling along well...and facebook is one of my addictions as well. Good answers! : )
