Hey, brother, Aretha is back!  So, okay, Queen Of Soul and all that, sure. Doesn't fly on planes, gotcha. Wore a big old wack-a-doo hat at the inauguration that doubled as a major airport radar tower. Right on. But does Aretha, at the age of, I dunno, a hundred or something, still have the throat-a-tude to go vocal cord to vocal cord with today's top lady song singing type people?

Shut your face if you said no. SHUT IT RIGHT NOW.

Okay, you say, that's the recording, and sure she fries it up real real good, but can ol' ReRe bring it live?

No, you say? *Sigh.* Sometimes it's like I don't even know you.

New album out Oct 21. Dig on it.
