Drive to You

Unfamiliar with this week's song? Hear it here.

1) In this song, Jewel sings that she can't sleep and is staring at the ceiling. Did you fall asleep easily last night? with an assist from a sleep aid, yes!

2) She concludes that the only thing to do is drive to her lover's side. Last time you got behind the wheel, where were you headed? to the Emergency Room to get my broken foot diagnosed

3) Jewel grew up in Alaska. Have you ever visited our largest state? no

4) She once performed at the Sydney Opera House, which is more than 7,300 miles away from Anchorage. There are no direct commercial flights between those two cities. Given your choice, would you rather spend less on travel but have to change flights, or spend more and fly non-stop to your destination? spend less and change flights

5) Actor Sean Penn developed a crush on Jewel after seeing her perform on TV and attended many of her concerts during her 1995 tour. What's the best concert you ever saw? either Billy Joel's Innocent Man concert in 1984 or Sting in 2013

6) She married Ty Murray, a successful rodeo cowboy. Have you ever attended a rodeo? no

7) In 2006, the year "Drive to You" was released, Al Lewis died. He was best known as Grandpa on The Munsters. It's time for you to declare where you stand on this issue: do you prefer The Munsters of The Addams Family? declaring that I like both!  They are totally different!

8) 2006 was a very good one for tennis pro Roger Federer. He reached the finals in all four Grand Slam tournaments, and won three. What's the last game you won? (Yes, Wordle counts.) I play Wordle, Strands, and Connections daily and I won all three

9) Random question: Using one word, how would you describe 2024 so far? challenging
