Alpo Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Who is Ariel Grande? And why do people care about the funeral of someone they didn't know personally? You talking about that "Bishop" that copped a feel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Aretha was a treasure and a performer of the highest caliber. To see the CIRCUS of self aggrandizement that has played out to mark her passing turns my stomach!! The very idea of costume changes for a corpse is tragically ludicrous! WHAT A RIDICULOUS AND REVOLTING DOG AND PONY SHOW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 My son is a co-writer for one of her songs on her album!~Quit (or I can't quit you) I wish her all the success in the world because that means $$$ in my son's pocket! I don't care what anyone thinks of her and neither does my son! It's all about the bucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a famous (or infamous) black and white photo of him(late 1960's) sitting at the feet of Larry Hoover, founder of the Gangster Disciples street gang. Larry was convicted of murder in 1973 and is serving a 150-200 year sentence at the ADX Supermax in Florence, Colorado. The picture is all over the internet, I just can't get it to upload.

MizPete Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This topic is kinda pissing me off and making me really sad. Miss Aretha was almost as much an American icon as Willie Nelson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Angus McPherson Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 On 9/3/2018 at 2:22 AM, Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 said: I have to believe that changing costumes was her idea. My thought exactly. I figure it was her last chance to have some fun with people. I can't help but chuckle and think she's up there somewhere thinking "Some folks just can't take a joke." Kind of like the guy whose tombstone is engraved "I told you I was sick". Just because you're dead doesn't mean you have to stop having fun. When I'm gone you all are still free to make jokes at my expense. I have a t-shirt that says "Got Kilt?" Every time I wear it I think that if I get killed in a car accident some smart a&& cop is going to read it and say "Why, yes you did". As a retired smart a&& cop I know that's what I'd be thinking. Of course, I could be wrong and it could all be the idea of some sleazy promoter trying to make a few last dollars off her. Like old west selling photos with the corpse for $1.

Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 From Madonna to Ariel I never saw so many "look at me!!!" so-called tributes as I have since Aretha died. Truly disgusting, but then again what else did you expect from the entertainment industry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
