I had no idea Aretha Franklin was still alive for the last 20+ years.  What other legends are still living that I always assumed were long dead?  When Prince died, I discovered Stevie Wonder is still with us.  This thread's been interesting for stuff like that.

I know this is terrible and too soon etc but I always read her name as Urethra Franklin.

Not on purpose really my brain just registers it that way. Even now when I know it's wrong and it's Aretha my brain just goes.. Urethra.

RIP though. 

her performance at the carol king Kennedy center show was actually pretty great

I've never seen her perform (even on TV or anything) but I know she's a legend and had significant influence. We're seeing a lot of legends go these days. =/

Aretha had her first child at 12 years old, and her 2nd at 15. Yet she still rose to become the Queen of Soul. RIP

His thumbs down to McConnell saved our healthcare system from being sent back to the stone age. This was an epic guitar solo on his part and I’m gonna light up a spliff in his honor when I get home tbqh
