I will always respect Aretha, but I will have less respect for her if she takes a judging job on Idol. She doesn't need the hassle, and the show isn't centered around the one thing she was always been focused on: the soul of music.
It reminds me of the book about films written by Kevin "Tom Servo" Murphy. He wrote in one chapter about how dangerous it was for Peter Falk to appear in an Adam Sandler movie, because Falk was getting up in years and if he had died, his obit would have featured the Adam Sandler movie as his final screen credit. I don't ever want to read an obit about "American Idol star Aretha Franklin." That would just be wrong. -- Kevin M. (RPCV) -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
