What Are Aretha’s Cancer Chances?
Aretha Franklin has pancreatic cancer. This is one of those cancers that cause people immediately to think: See ya. But both Steve Jobs and Ruth Bader Ginsberg have had this ailment, and they are both still whinnying with us. Re-Re had surgery for the cancer this week, and apparently she’s recovering well. Let’s hope that the unforgettable, once-she-goes-they-break-the-mold voice of hers lives on for many years to come. I’m so pulling for her that today I’m relaxing my rule against Christmas (a holiday I can’t stand) and giving you Re-Re singing “Joy to the World.”
