Julian at Out of the Blue has some great answers and so does Tina at Fuzzy and Blue.
Anyone else want to take a crack at it?
1: Black and White or Color; how do you prefer your movies?
Color these days although I think movies that were filmed in black and white should stay that way. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. "Psycho" would be awful in color. So would "The Third Man", "M", or "Citizen Kane". They all need the contrast and the shadows of black and white. Color would distract, not enhance.

2: What is the 1 single subject that bores you to near-death?
Pro wrestling

3: MP3s, CDs, Tapes or Records: what is your favorite medium for prerecorded music?
I treasure my vinyl collection but I'm more apt to play my CD's or music DVD's. I'm even more apt to listen to a Rhapsody playlist which isn't one of the choices.

4: You are handed one 1st class trip plane ticket to anywhere in the world and $10 million cash. All of this is yours provided that you leave and not tell anyone where you are going … Ever. This includes family, friends, everyone. Would you take the money and ticket and run?
No, although some days I'd probably look like the famous Jack Benny scene. Robber - "Your money or your life" Jack - "I'm thinking about it"

5: Seriously, what do you consider the world’s most pressing issue now?
Most pressing? Probably greed followed closely by the type of fear that causes bigotry and hatred.

6: How would you rectify the world’s most pressing issue?
By continuing to do what I'm already doing. I can't rectify anything but I feel a little less powerless.
7: You are given the chance to go back and change 1 thing in your life; what would that be?
I wouldn't because I like the life I have now. I have some regrets, but the past is the past. It should stay there.

8: You are given the chance to go back and change 1 event in world history, what would that be?
I'm copying Julian's who copied Tina's because it's darn good: "I would render Barbara and George H. Walker Bush infertile." Seriously, the same as number 7. I don't know what a change which seems like a good idea at the time will do to history. Maybe that's why my favorite Star Trek episode is "City on the Edge of Forever" even though I cry through it every time.

9: A night at the opera, or a night at the Grand Ole’ Opry –Which do you choose? Opera of course. The Opry isn't what it used to be in the good old days of me, my little radio, and WSM Nashville.
10: What is the 1 great unsolved crime of all time you’d like to solve?
Whatever happened to Judge Crater? I looked through all my closets and still couldn't find him.

11: One famous author can come to dinner with you. Who would that be, and what would you serve for the meal?
John Irving and I'd serve lasagne with salad and garlic bread because it's the one thing I can be sure I won't mess up unless I burn the garlic bread. Or corn dogs and french fries?

12: You discover that John Lennon was right, that there is no hell below us, and above us there is only sky — what’s the 1st immoral thing you might do to celebrate this fact?
Was there something immoral I missed?

Hi Ann,
Was I suppose to laugh through most of the answers you posted? My bad.
I just posted the picture of the lovely almond blooms I took yesterday, before the storm that was suppose to blow through here today tears them all loose.
But seriously I think I may do your meme tomorrow.
congrats to Rebecca by the way for the award, and Elcie's nice drawing.

Ah, yes, Mr. Irving. ***swoons***
Serve him the lasagna, and don't forget to invite ME! (Of course, it may be embarrassing for you when I jump on John's back at the end of the evening and beg him not to leave...)
