Didn't Elvis die on Aug 16th also?


She actually died at about the right
time. 76 and morbidly obese for
decades, she's lucky she lived this
long.

Fox News used a picture of Patti LaBelle singing in their Aretha tribute. Oops.


No surprise it is Fox to make this mistake. Somehow, when it is time for Loretta Lynn, I don't think they will make the same kind of mistake.

Does Fox have a history of this kind of mistake that it is “no surprise?”

For women born today, they can expect to average 80.2 years. Men are only 75.1. However, Aretha was born when life expectancy was not as long. I don't have the cohort life tables, but 76 is indeed about right for women her age.

I can't list similar mistakes, but it is no surprise to me given their target audience.

Target audience?

Pretty much half of all cable news viewers.

I was saying morbidly obese people
like her don't usually live to the
average age. She's lucky she made
76.

Jill Janus of the metal band Huntress has died. I believe this is possibly the moment before it happened.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

If there was a female artist in my lifetime more influential than Aretha Franklin, I can't think of who.

I don’t know how old you are J.R., but how about Billie Holliday, Ella Fitzgerald, or Taylor Swift?
