    Aretha Franklin slayed, @Wesley_Morris writes. “Respect” became an anthem for us, because it seemed like an anthem for her.https://nyti.ms/2PcQkAW

        Oh look, another article praising a person because they died. Why didn’t you write this last week? Oh that’s right. You writers didn’t care about her when she was alive. No story in breathing inspirations. Just dead ones.

        Now that was some kinda brilliant writing. It spoke from the soul and absolutely captured the spirit of Aretha! RESPECT, indeed.
