Saturday Nine: Always Remember Us This Way (2018)

This week's Saturday Nine:

You can listen to the song here.

1. In this song, Lady Gaga sings about the Arizona sky and California gold. Have you visited many of our Western states? I've been to California and Nevada.
   
   
2. She sings that she's overwhelmed and can't find the words to express herself. Do you find it easier to share your feelings verbally or in writing? Verbally, because I need intonation.
   
   
3. Her real name is Stefani Germanotta. She took her stage name from the Queen song, "Radio Gaga." Do you have a favourite Queen song? "We Will Rock You," 'cause it's like, the ultimate pump-up song.
   
   
4. Her dad is Joe Germanotta, president of GuestWifi, a company that enables hotels and restaurants to offer high-speed wifi to their customers. Do you consider yourself tech savvy? Yeah, I think so.
   
   
5. Early in her career, Lady Gaga performed songs for a children's audio book called The Portal in the Park. Tell us about the last book you finished — did you listen to an audiobook, or read a download to an electronic device, or a bound book with pages? E-book.
   
   
6. She prefers dogs to cats and tea to coffee. Do you agree with her? I prefer dogs to cats, but coffee to tea.
   
   
7. Back in 2015, she appeared at the Academy Awards, performing a medley to celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Sound of Music. The movie's star, Julie Andrews, graciously came onstage to thank Gaga for her show-stopping performance. Whom did you most recently thank? I think my mom?
   
   
8. In 2018, when this song was first released, retailer Toys R Us closed all its stores and went out of business. What's the last toy you purchased? The BT21 Universtar Vol. 3 Collectible Figures.
   
   
9. Random question: How has social media made your life better? I found BTS through social media (namely YouTube) so even though there is so much toxicity/negativity/cancel culture on social media now, I will still be forever grateful.
