She is amazing. As my friend said, that's not a hat, it's a vortex.

(15,289 posts)I caught a little of the funeral and thought what a contrast to McCain's. McCain's week of funerals have been respectful and stately, but Aretha's, now THAT was a funeral - full of love and joy. Obama must be just a bit envious that Bill Clinton got to attend and speak.
