Dear Diary: Question Of The Day(s)

Probably #2.  In the past I might have preferred #1 because we don't get a lot of snow; but a couple years ago, we got nearly a foot of snow in an area ill-prepared to deal with it, and the power went out for most of the day, so I'd probably be fearing a repeat of that scenario.  #4 would be good, except I'd probably watch TV instead of reading.  #3 is out because I burn too easily, though maybe it would be all right if I stayed on the porch!

As much as I like reading, in the fall I am more likely to be outside enjoying the cooler temps, changing colors, etc

Right? I would like to be outside, splitting firewood, then off to some sort of outdoor social activity. 

[WhereThereIsLife]

I revel in 2 while dreading 3 and looking forward to 4.

[tessaray]

#4, then #1

Fall is my favorite season. Though anymore we get one or two glorious days and then the rest are cold, wet and full of soggy leaves.

[isalicat]

#4 and then #1 for me too. I am very much a cold weather person. In fact, I just returned last night from driving up from here in central beachy California up to my previous home town of Mt. Shasta and then up to Portland, Oregon and although I had a truly wonderful time I was so disappointed that it was hot (well, high 70s, low 80s which is hot for me) in Portland. I packed leather boots, a leather jacket and a rain jacket with high hopes...but no! spent the trip in t-shirts and sneakers.

tee hee! definitely pants too...and of course my trusty face shield (which I prefer because I like to smile at people).

#4 but the cider needs to be spiked.

[Drogo]

My ranking:

3

[ratgirlagogo]

I grew up in a part of the country in which these were not the seasons that we had.  But I can say that for where I live now I'm solidly behind #1.

The ONLY time NYC is ever calm and quiet is during a big snowfall, so #1 all the way.

[JTMacc99]

Love this one!

[shapeshifter]

Probably Janis because I missed my chance Aug 04, 1970, but...

I’ll pick Freddie Mercury.  Preferably in a smaller club where I don’t have to deal with the crowds. 

[Browncoat]

I feel like Jim Morrison would be fun, but I think I'll go with David Bowie.  

This was a really hard choice!

[Guest]

Bowie. But I reserve my right to change my mind.

Extra credit question.  How many could you name with no problem off just the pictures.

Eleven.

Of the five I wasn't sure about.

I guessed right on two but needed photo confirmation because it wasn't the image in my mind of them.

The other three I guessed their bands but one threw me because two people from the same band are options, one because the people I most associate with the band aren't dead, and third because the era seemed right but the name escaped me.

[SweetieDarling]

Janice.  

George & Keith were close runners up.

Edited October 23, 2020 by SweetieDarling
I can name 14 though I feel I should know 15

[JTMacc99]

For me it's Bon Scott's AC/DC as the clear winner.

But if that show's sold out, Nirvana would be an excellent second choice.

[isalicat]

Oh - Jim Morrison, absolutely! (Kurt Cobain/Nirvana would be a great runner up)

[GaT]

I can't believe anyone would have an answer besides Janis Joplin.

[jennifer6973]

Johnny Cash, I figure the safest choice of the three I wanted to choose from.

[tessaray]

For sheer number of favorite songs it would be Freddie/Queen but if there was an after-party or backstage passes involved, John Lennon. (Most days.)

[Nordly Beaumont]

I've seen Bowie, otherwise it would be a three way tie. So it's Freddie or Kurt... I'll go with Freddie, because I think it's Freddie Mercury energy I need right now.

[jewel21]

Elvis, baby. Followed by Buddy Holly.

[ebk57]

Janis

Followed by Jimi and Freddie

 

And I knew 15 of them.  Thanks to @JTMacc99, I now know who the other guy is. 

Also, I'm kinda surprised/sad that Prince isn't there, because he'd be my actual number one choice.

[supposebly]

Nirvana. Any day. I can't believe I never got to see them.

Janis and Bon Scott would be interesting.

Freddie and David Bowie would be a PARTY! and I'm not sure I'm ready for a party yet.

[Annber03]

My mom and I were leaning towards Freddie Mercury as well. I joked to her that she could also see Jimi if she went to a Monkees show where he was the opening act :p. I would've gone to that just for the sheer WTF-ery of it all, LOL. 

I think Buddy Holly would also be on my list, too. I bet he would've been fun to see live. He did play here in Iowa, so... Yes, he died shortly afterward, but still! Johnny, Janis, and George would probably round out my top 5 list.

But yeah, this was hard. They all would've been amazing to see. 

[auntlada]

Freddy Mercury/Queen. No question. I love watching the Live Aid performance on YouTube.

[callie lee 29]

Kurt. 100%.

[theredhead77]

I pick the festival they are all playing at.

[ABay]

Who are all these people? The two between Lennon and Elvis and the one between Harrison and Morrison I cannot identify. From a comment up thread I guess one is Johnny Cash but none of them look like him to me.

Red background next to Lennon is Cash.  Next to him is Bon Scott of AC/DC

The one between Harrison and Morrison is Keith Moon, drummer for The Who.

[AgentRXS]

Freddie, without question. Jimi would be my 2nd choice.  

[Babalu]

I would pick Jimi Hendrix out of the above. But the ones I would really pick would be (1) Prince; and (2) James Brown in his prime.

[KnoxForPres]

Jim Morrison/The Doors.  With a VIP pass please.  

[Miss Anne Thrope]

So torn.  Janis, George, Bowie, or Moonie.  George wins for body of work, even though The Who is the band I've always wanted to see but knew I never would.

[Brookside]

What are you binge-watching while waiting for the results?  Anyone else pigging out (literally and figuratively) to Top Chef?

[ABay]

Poirot on Britbox last night and a lot of podcasts today at work.

[meep.meep]

Schitt's Creek, Fargo, and Escape to the Chateau.   I'm eclectic.

[Nordly Beaumont]

Big Fat Quiz of the Year on youtube - any year with Noel Fielding and/or Richard Ayoade.

[jennifer6973]

Aerial America and Air Disasters

[graybrown bird]

All Creatures Great and Small - lovely old BBC show about a country vet practice in the Yorkshire Dales.

[callie lee 29]

Scooby-Doo. 

[Babalu]

Schitt’s Creek (for the first time!), World’s Toughest Race, The Good Doctor (still have several S3 episodes before I can start the current season).
