Etta James, who was so pissed at Beyonce (who is the equal to Etta neither musically nor historically) singing “At Last” at President Obama’s inaugural it’s a wonder she didn’t take a swing at her, has been hospitalized. Nothing major, out in a week sez her son. Our best wishes go to out to the former Chess records artist and one of the all time greats.
I’ve had the urge to write a little about the Prez lately and haven’t found the right hook so let me clue you in. I didn’t think ‘Bam was all that to start with but I didn’t think he was bad. I mean, the guy was a politician… how good could he be. Despite all the constant pounding on the man he hasn’t been that bad. The rule of thumb with a Presidency is if you don’t leave it in worse shape than when you found it your ahead of the game.
I am happily surprised at how well he’s done and if you don’t believe I was pretty doubtful about Obama when he started ask Bob Nevin who I thought was gonna deck me at some points.
Viz Etta -Bam better hope she doesn’t get worse. he might be advised to send flowers right now.
