I actually thought she was older than that. An absolute icon and one of the most influential female voices of the 20th century. Title: Re: Aretha Franklin Dead at 76 Post by: HaemishM on August 16, 2018, 07:41:56 AM Damn.

:heartbreak: Title: Re: Aretha Franklin Dead at 76 Post by: 01101010 on August 16, 2018, 08:38:37 AM Well given she has been not doing well for awhile, I'm glad she doesn't have to continue to suffer. Pancreatic cancer man... not something you really live through.
Glad I was alive for most of her career to enjoy it, even more so that my mother was a huge fan. She as a person and a voice in society will be missed but her music and the messages therein will always continue. edit: had to confirm the cancer thing Title: Re: Aretha Franklin Dead at 76 Post by: Nebu on August 16, 2018, 08:57:44 AM R-E-S-P-E-C-T

Title: Re: Aretha Franklin Dead at 76 Post by: Ginaz on September 01, 2018, 04:02:24 PM Her funeral service was apparently 8 hours long. I don't care if you're Jesus Christ himself, no one requires an 8 hour funeral. Good lord. :ye_gods:
Title: Re: Aretha Franklin Dead at 76 Post by: schild on September 01, 2018, 04:06:49 PM Eight hours is too much, yes. Two hours is too much.
One hour and I'm out. I like the idea of discussing social obligations and time limits. Title: Re: Aretha Franklin Dead at 76 Post by: 01101010 on September 01, 2018, 04:13:07 PM Ugh... that is long, unless it was a show of performances... :awesome_for_real:
