Queen of Soul Kicks Ass

Pardon my slight deafness today--my ears are still ringing from last night's show.
A-r-e-t-h-a opened with "r-e-s-p-e-c-t"-- giving it to us with both barrels. No teasing, just right down to business. She was phenomenal--she just turned 60 last month (25th), weighs in the neighborhood of 300#, and still belts the soul and blues like it was old times. We fell all over ourselves as an audience--she was clearly among admirers. She adjusted her wrap--we went nuts. She took off her shoes and danced--we lost our minds. She sat down, played piano and sang--we practically set ourselves on fire from joy. So I'm pretty sure she felt appreciated.
It was a short program, with two sets and three curtain calls. We payed 75 US$ to sit in the nosebleed section. WORTH IT.
