Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) As you answer these questions, are you wearing leather, lace, or both? There's a little lace on my undergarments.
2) This song is a duet between members of two superstar groups – Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac and Don Henley of The Eagles. Which band do you listen to more often, Fleetwood Mac or The Eagles? The Eagles.
3)
In this duet, "lace" tells us she is stronger than we know and
"leather" admits that sometimes he's vulnerable. Do either side of this
lyrical equation apply to you? Do you think you're either tougher than
people realize, or more sensitive than they know? More sensitive.
4) Both Stevie and Don are born Westerners. Stevie spent her early childhood in Arizona and Don was born in Texas and stayed there through college. Today Stevie has two homes – one in Pacific Palisades and another in Phoenix – while Don has a beautiful home in Dallas. Do you feel rooted where you are? Or can you see yourself moving to another city or state in the future? I'm rooted.
5)
Stevie and Don were romantically involved in the 1970s, but after they
broke up they remained friendly. Not only did they record this song in
1981, they went on tour together in 2005. Have you recently heard from
an ex? Yes. I get a Christmas card every year and he chimes in on my Facebook page every now and again. He's a grandfather now and, I'm happy to report, he's shaved his mustache. When I knew him, he wore a mustache because he was self conscious about an acne scar. I love that he doesn't care about that anymore.
6) Stevie admits a lifelong passion for Animal Crackers, those little cookies shaped like tigers, bears and elephants. Is your go-to snack sweet, like Stevie's, or is it salty? I'm pretty equal opportunity. Right now I'm very into cheese crackers, but I've got some butter cookies in the kitchen, too.
7) Don likes Velveeta on his burgers. Describe your ideal cheeseburger. Medium well, with lettuce, mayo, ketchup and American cheese. I'd prefer no seeds on the bun.
8) In 1981, when this song was popular, both Maserati and Mercedes Benz introduced luxury convertibles. Have you ever owned a convertible? Would a convertible be practical for your lifestyle? I'm not a car person, but still, I can't imagine myself with a convertible. Really, isn't there only one person whose lifestyle calls for a convertible?

9) Random question: What are you most looking forward to this week? On Friday I'm getting a hair cut, and on Saturday my Connie Cat is freed from The Cone.
