Un-Etta-ble???

Last week I “tivo-ed” Austin City Limits featuring a performance by the great Etta James. She is known for such songs as “At Last” and “I’d rather go blind”. Alas, it may have been the most disturbing and unsettling thing I have ever watched. Primarily because its makes me cringed to watch a woman her age sing about wild nights of passion. Secondly, she has very weird mannerisms that resemble my own grandmother (which makes the first point all the more awkward). The feeling you are left with is that she is just too old to be doing concerts anymore. She obviously doesn’t have the vivacity of a Tina Turner….in fact she sat in a chair for half the show. She couldn’t even stand for the whole performance! Pack it up Etta…..move to a nice retirement home.
