had an amazing evening last night
i had the pleasure of seeing Miss Aretha Franklin at Radio City Music Hall
oh my dears
i was truly in the awe of the royal diva
i mean hey this is Aretha
and I now I can check off another notch on my
"world class Divas I must see live before they croak or retire list"
so far
ive seen bette midler
tina turner
liza minelli
ertha kitt
ella fitzgerald

and in december J is taking me to see CHER!!

oh the sadness in my heart that I did not get to see Nina Simone before she passed

and have not seen my numero uno fave La Barbara! Streisand of course

but Aretha now that was special
and yes she's gained a couple hundred pounds over the years
and can't stretch a note the way she used to
but she could still belt out a song that dwarfed
a 34 piece band

for some reason the diva
had it in her heart that she was going to buy and give out a couple hundred white castle hamburgers
and they never showed up
this prompted her to inform her back- up crew
and 6,000 fans
that someone's pink slip was waiting in their envelope
do not cross THE QUEEN OF SOUL!

ah honeys
sometimes taking a break for life
to see something spectacular is just what the doctor feel good
ordered
