1. Does it bother you that Kentucky Fried Chicken uses the song Sweet Home Alabama in their commercials?
2. Does it bother you that the polar caps are melting?
3. If you could choose a new first name for yourself what would it be?
4. If you inherited 5 million dollars what would be your first major purchase?
(other than a house)
5. What is your all-time favorite song?
My answers;
1. Yes it bothers me. Of all the songs they could have chosen they chose a racist song from the 70's? I won't ever be shopping with KFC again.
2. It bothers me a lot. I don't think we will actually do anything until there is a crisis, like New York City reaching 120 degrees. Then maybe we'll all wake up. Earth is our only home, when it goes so do we.
3. Jane or Ilyasah
4. A huge, gigantic, outragously large piece of land in southern France and a vintage bicycle to ride around on all my land!
5. Willow by Joan Armatrading

1) I haven't eaten at KFC in 20 years. I'm not surprised though that they chose that as their song. That does bug me.
2) Very worried. It's gotten so hot here in LA in the summers and the lack of rain, even in the winter, worries me.
3) Almitra -- she's the seeress from Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet". That or else Vivienne. Now you know what my sons would have been named if they'd been girls.
4) I'm with you on the property in France. I'm thinking Villefranche-Sur-Mer. And I'll have a personal trainer to come live there with me so I look good when I go out on the beach.
5) My all time favorite song? Probably "Strangelove" by Depeche Mode. Or else "Stronger Than Pride" by Sade.
Hi Liz,
I remember hearing about the heat there and it's still hot in some parts of the east coast. I'm trying to do my part, I take public transportation every day. I hope when we get a new president there will be some changes.
Vivienne is a pretty name. I also like a V name, Valentina.
I love Sade so that could be one of my picks too. I'm going to have to check Depeche mode out on itunes, I've read some of your posts mentioning them. I'm not familiar with their music or I am and just haven't put their name with their songs.
Thanks
1. No. It doesn't bother me - frankly - I never noticed. I don't really care for KFC anyway.
2. No again. Not sure I understand the full significance of that.
3. Alexis. That's my 'pretend' name when I (rarely) go 'out on the town'.
4. An island. A private island. Okay, a very small, private island since it's only 5 million dollars.
5. "Everything for Christmas" by the Temptations. I could listen to that song ANYTIME of the year.
Hi Lisa,
That's so cute, your "pretend" name. I guess eveyone has one.
A private island sounds nice. You might be able to find one for less than 5 million. There are some cute little private islands off the coast of Washingtin state.(smile)
Thanks
1. It's racist, gotta check those lyrics. Don't really care for KFC.
2. Extremely concerned. There is only so much higher ground to live on and the shortage of food and fresh water will not be pretty.
3. Just Jackie instead of Jacqueline.
4. Real estate, fertile property in the mountains.
5. All time favorite, girl, that's impossible. OK, At Last.
Hi Jackie,
I've heard that within 25 years cities like Miami, New Orleans and New York City could loose significant land mass because of the melting polar caps. When that starts to happen all the rich people will pay attention.
I've been to the Appalachian Mountains. They are so beautiful. It would be nice to build a secluded cottage there.
At Last is a nice song, so many people have covered that song. For some reason I remember Dianne Reeves' version the most.
