Aretha's Hat (I Know I am Late)

I viewed the inauguration from home on Tuesday, January 22ND, and I saw, with my own two eyes, Ms. Franklin's headdress. I imagined that many would criticize her boldness, and though I personally would never wear a bonnet like hers, I admire Ms. Franklin's elegant appearance, honoring the inauguration of our first ever African American President.

This website is devot
ed to real hats as well as figurative ones, and I believe Ms. Franklin's is symbolic of both. By this I mean, the hat we know her to don on a regular basis is one of gospel diva, so, I perceive that her eye-catching Luke Song embellishment is representative of her musical flair. As her notes, high and low bounced around the acoustic mall, so did her hat bounce around the media, emphasizing her taste in euphonious accoutrement.

I know my expatiation on this topic is a bit delayed, but I could not ignore Ms. Franklin's unerring paradigm of the rationale driving my development of this site.
