Go call up DOCTOR Aretha Franklin!
Oh. She's not that kind of a doctor? She's not ANY kind of a doctor.
Except the pussies of Harvard University are telling the world you can call her...Dr. Aretha Franklin.
This is what "celebrity culture" is all about. We already pay a fortune to celebrities, fawn over them, treat them like royalty, beg to get a photo with them or an autograph, and cheer when they are given an Oscar, Tony, Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe, People's Choice or some other fucking trinket! We also have...
...colleges and universities BRIBING these STARS to come to a graduation ceremony! The bait? A DOCTORATE.
That's Bill Cosby. He EARNED a degree. He did the work. He's an exception.
This fat tub of Aretha...all she's done is shout on stage and sweat a lot. That's my opinion, of course. I just don't find this cow all that appealing, and screaming R.E.S.P.E.C.T. doesn't get much from M.E.
Ray Charles, yes. Aretha...not my cup of coffee. But either way, either you go to school and do your work, or you don't. Stop giving away degrees for "life achievement" because you like their fucking songs (which they usually didn't even write). Some jerk at Harvard decides the fat lady would be great...showing pissy white Harvard actually has some soul? That's pandering.
Why not give an honorary degree to the soldier who had to quit school to fight a battle for us and then work 12 hour days to keep a roof over his wife and family? He had life experiences. Ain't he no "Doctor?" No, 'cause he ain't no...CELEBRITY.
