Ohhh. Etta James Was Playing.

Well, well, well. Etta James is trying to back out of the verbal bitchslap she gave Beyonce and the President last week in front of a live, Seattle audience. As you might recall, James said that Barack Obama is not her president and that she is going to “whoop” Beyonce’s ass for singing “her” song, “At Last,” at one of the inaugural balls. Too bad for Etta we have the tape and it’s clear to anyone with ears that homegirl was greener than a Spring Breaker in Cabo with Montezuma’s revenge. James admits she felt left out, but she says she has a comedic personality and was only going on with the rant because the audience was laughing so hard. Uh, yeah. They’re your sycophants, honey child. They’re never going to tell you the truth like we will. And the truth is,  you kind of sound like you’re slurring your words on that tape. Could Etta now be experiencing the remorsefulness that only comes with sobriety? Get drunk again, girl! It’s the only thing that will take away the pain of growing old and irrelevant. We should know. Sadface.
