“The Queen of Soul” Aretha Franklin was one of those generational talents that can never truly be replaced. I will never forget her belting out “Think” at Matt “Guitar” Murphy in “The Blues Brothers”…that bit in the Soul Food Cafe was by far the best scene for me in the entire movie and came at the perfect time to resurrect her career which was in a bit of a slump at the time.

WRAL is reporting that Chuck Kaiton was offered a one year contract to stay on as the only radio broadcaster the Carolina Hurricanes and Whalers franchises has ever known.

On the one hand, they did a good job with the stock footage of Angel rolling out after landing. Sadly, watching President Bartlet and entourage boarding a 747 showed that was as far as it got. Whilst…

How in the world was she allowed to travel with this jacket…much less put it on in full view of the cameras? And on a junket to tour the detention centres for kids who crossed the border illegally, no less! This. Is. Utterly. And. Breathtakingly. Stupid. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-44570688
