The Queen is dead, long live the Queen.
I can remember listening to a song on the radio I was transfixed by, but didn't recognize. I pulled off the road and into the local record store, Licorice Pizza (get it?) and sang a little to the guy behind the counter. He said, "What?! You don't know The Queen of Soul?". I traded my ignorance and a little money for a copy of "I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You" and my life was permanently improved. I will miss her, but I will never be without her voice in my heart, in my soul.

76 is a decent age, though, although I see she was diagnosed a pretty long time ago. Good for her for fighting for so long. Pancreatic cancer is a fucker. They all are.

[sidestep] I just googled life expectancy and learned that Canadians live three years longer than Americans. :/

(I wonder if the cold slows them down a bit, like food lasts longer in the fridge?)

There's a great old movie called "American Hot Wax" that features, among other stars-before-they-were-stars, a very young Jay Leno and Fran Drescher, plus Aretha Franklin as a diner waitress who tells off her boss by singing R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
You can't get it anywhere except bootleg VHS from the original TV broadcast, because of undisclosed rights issues. My dad always insisted it had to be because of Aretha Franklin (she was no doubt underpaid for the role, and now the music rights would be astronomical,) but given how widespread her stuff actually is, I'm inclined to think it's something like Jay Leno is embarrassed at his performance and wants it to rot in the vault so no one can ever make fun of him. |

Didnt she tell off her boss, or boyfriend, w/a musical number in a diner in The Blues Brothers, too? The song was Think, I think.
