Consider Me Gone

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

 

1) In this song, poor Reba McEntire confronts a lover who makes her feel like she's not good enough. Let's go in a more positive direction: Who in your life makes you feel happy and secure?my sisters and parents

 

2) Reba hopes her lover will look back on her as someone who used to make him laugh. Who did you most recently laugh with?  my youngest Virginia niece

 

3) She was director James Cameron's first choice to play Molly Brown in the 1997  blockbuster Titanic, but she had to turn down the role because she was committed to a concert tour. Think of the last invitation you received. Did you say yes or no? I said yes

4) Reba comes from a rodeo family: both her father and grandfather were champion steer ropers and her mother was a barrel racer. Have you ever been to a rodeo? no

5) She loves game nights with family and friends because she says she's "a competitive person." When you play friendly board or card games, do you always play to win? Yes!  I’ve been playing cards with my sister—our forty-year grudge match of Spite & Malice

 

6) Reba wears tall boots all the time, even in summer, and has more than 100 pairs. Do you often wear boots? no

 

7) In 2009, when this song was popular, Mark Zuckerberg tried unsuccessfully to buy Twitter. Elon Musk acquired it in 2022 and renamed it X. Do you often post to Twitter/X? not anymore. It used to be fun 

 
8) Back in 2009, DuPont announced that silver and black were the most popular vehicle colors, accounting for half the cars the world over. What color is your ride? silver

 

9) Random question: Have you ever had a job that required you to wear a hairnet? no
