    In reply to Queen Of Soul Talks January 20; Hats
    I have to say, I was really surprised and annoyed by the big hoopla made over Aretha's inauguration hat. That kind of headpiece is such a staple of black church culture that I didn't blink when I saw it. My grandma has a closet full of hats like that, all big and spangled. Something about all of the "tee hee, look at that hat!" nonsense just rubs me the wrong way.

    If she had done that (pre-recorded it), then there'd have been a huge scandal of how she was lip-syncing (a la JHud at the Superbowl) but even when she sang it live, there were still a lot of bickering on how her voice was thin and such. People are just never satisfied.

    Dang... does anyone else get really freaked out and think that a celebrity has died with posts like this (big photo, using names like "Queen of Soul")? I've found out about too many deaths through Jezebel, so now I get a little jilted each time.


    On-topic comment: I may need to go to a craft store this afternoon and pick up supplies to recreate the hat for my dog. She would love it.

    That hat is proof that not only cars come from Detroit, and perhaps the auto industry isn't doing as well as the millinery business.

    No one else could wear that hat. On Aretha, it just proves how incredibly cool and awesome and fantastic and wonderful and awesome and cool she is.


    Slash, also, I just find it AMAZING to see how a hat could become an iconic part of a historical moment. Seriously.

    Once, before our school ball in sixth form, my friend's grandmother told her that I looked like Renee Zellweger, and I cried. I'm still not sure I want to look like her, but she sure as shit looks like she's fun to hang out with!

    I have to say, I respect her for just getting on a train and going to the Inaugaration like any other normal person. She wanted to go, so she went. Unlike people like Eva Mendes talking about wanting tickets, when they have as much right as anyone else. Love it Renee!

    She used to pop up in Detroit every now and again while she was dating Jack White. The general consensus was she is a sweet, fun lady. That's a huge compliment from a music scene and town that loves to tear outsiders apart.

    @Little Time Bomb: seriously, the idea that she would just show up at the inaguration like a normal person, when she could have easily pulled strings and been part of the festivities, is a lovely thing.


    I have the feeling she's going to be acting long into her later years. She's a very smart woman, well-read, and not interested in the spotlight.

    I'm gonna break down so let it forever be broke: she rocked it so hard in Bridget Jones's Diary she will always get a pass from me. Al. Ways. She was cheated out of an Oscar because comedic performances just don't get the same respect of "Make me feel good!". And that she rocked it in Chicago as well (only to lose to a plastic nose) was just gravy.
