Aretha Franklin is the QUEEN of Soul.
QUEEN OF SOUL
say it with me now... Queen... of... fucking... Soul...
I swear to God, Grant and I almost had a fist fight this morning when he came downstairs. As all the literate that visit this page know, I was blaring music to my heart's content. And he had the AUDACITY to say that he didn't like Aretha.
are...you...kidding me... please tell me that you're kidding me, so I don't have to put forth the extra effort of plotting your death...
I can take the fact that he hasn't learned the fine art of hanging up a jacket in a room that's solely devoted to the intricate jacket hanging process. I can take the fact that he's a fire sign and is more emotional than I am.
I can take the fact that he needs a schedule and I couldn't care less about ever owning one of my own. I can take the fact that his favorite music is techno.
I can take the fact that he's a list person and I never have any intention of writing a list unless I have to go to court for something and it's for someone else.
I can even take the fact that he thinks bananas are real food and he drowns his coffee in sugar and milk - and basically flat out refuses to eat a solitary molecule of fat on his steak and would rather cut his own arm off than eat something spicy like I do.
Fine.
Oh my God, but don't you ever disrespect Aretha Franklin in my presence again.
DON'T EVEN THINK IT IN YOUR HEAD!
Matter of fact, take out 'in my presence' from that sentence.
I had to bite the inside of my cheek to keep from saying all the things that were immediately at the forefront.
We're talking about Aretha 'Queen of Soul' Franklin here! Go say 150 Hail Mary's and 50 Our Father's for even letting those words fly out of your mouth!
He's sorry, Aretha!
He knows not of which he speaks!
For his transgressions, we pray at your alter of talent.
You've have to be out of your ever lovin' mind to get up on stage and sing ANYTHING with Aretha. Her voice is so utterly RICH.
.. and she's something like 56 or so in that video... imagine her when she was PRIME.... though, talent like THAT... NEVER dies...
Oh my God, and I so would NOT fuck with Aretha either. Whatever guy she's talking about was either awful brave or incredibly stupid.
Yeah, you heard that right... R E S P E C T...
Grant apologizes, Aretha... he wasn't THINKING like you said...
Seriously, don't get up on stage and sing next to this woman. When she opens her mouth, just shut up.
Gracious on top of it.
Say a Little Prayer for him, Aretha...and if that's not enough, Aretha... I'm totally willing to smack him for you...on his behalf... I'M SORRY!
Not like Aretha? For shame, Grant.
ReplyDeleteR&V: Do you know how much time I spend on Google between you and Spazz? Too much. Like looking up Fire Signs. I'm sorry, but if I have any inkling what you all are talking about from now on, I'm not googling. I'm getting carpal tunnel.
I live and die by my Google Calendar - but it's only because I have to. I have too many people I'm responsible for reminding and getting them to where they need to go. But otherwise, I hate scheduling. On a weekend, don't ask me what my plans are. I have NONE. And Grant, did you know that Movement 2009 - Electronic Music Festival is in Detroit May 23-25th. But don't come. I'm sure there's one near you, whereever the hell you live. Well, alright, you CAN come and stay in my guest room but my home is nothing along the lines of R&Vs. It's strictly boring suburbia. You'd be better off staying downtown and risking your life. I also have ToodleDo (both PC and iPhone) which I have been avoiding. No good will come from this.
"I Say a Little Prayer for You" is one of my ringtones for my hubby, because God knows he needs it.
End of disjointed post. Must I really preview? Yes, I must because I'm sucking at spelling and leaving out necessary words of late.

Techno is gay!
ReplyDeleteI so did not KNOW you were an AF FAN.
I used to fucking sing 'chain of fools' when I was 18. Because every fucking chain. Has got a weak link. I might be weak, child, but I'll give ya strength, oh yeah.
