After the crsis that was Aretha Franklin's Performance, I feel the need to post this SOMEWHERE...

Dear, Dear, sweet First Lady of Soul,
Ms. Franklin, I do not discount the fact that you are an Icon of music. You have inspired countless singers, including myself. You, ma'am, make me feel like a natural woman. However, after seeing your- ahem- performance, at the inauguration, I have some concerns. Two most pressing:
1. What the eff is that giant bow doing on you hat? We are not a ten year old french schoolgirl. Grown women do not, for formal occasions, don a hat bearing a bow larger than her own head.
2. Did you seriously just sing "My cunt (breath) tree___tis of thee__". Sweet lord woman, children are watching!!! Have you, in your old age forgotten all of your training for breath control and timing? Unless of course, you did it on purpose just so you could drop the c-bomb on the entire nation, which is hilarious...but I digress.
This was god-awful. The whole thing. God bless you but your time has clearly come and gone. Let us remember your incredible voice the way it was. Do not remind us that you have been reduced to a badly dressed gospel-choir screecher.
Kisses,
SwampFox

sorry about the typos...I was in a hurry...

As I watched the historical events of the day with two toddlers that can't form complete thoughts - my only thought was....you know what would have been awesome....a live blog/recap BB style with Schoonie, Fozzie, & Flipit.
