But if someone had been around, I would have been heard to remark, aloud, to the television, “That is the best goddamn hat I have ever goddamn seen.”

But for those who may still have questions about The Origins of The Hat, may I present the following:
Aretha’s Hat: The True Story.

There is now a facebook group dedicated to fans of Aretha’s hat!

Yep, it was written at Shakertown–Harrodsburg, KY (there still are some Shakers there–about 6? and they are very old). A very cool vocalist I know has been working with old Shaker hymns/recovering them with some of the residents and the historical documents. Simple Gifts is beautiful, but a couple of the other lesser known hymns deserve to be revised as well–the harmonies and so transcendent.

By the way, Kentucky is awesome–we still have a long way to go, but we’ll get there (oops, UU hymn reference).

I also feel like starting a Facebook group: “All Hail to Aretha’s Hat.”

Her performance was utterly spectacular (http://tinyurl.com/7kmyrb).

I loved the poem and the reading. I’m a poetry geek and love being read to (http://tinyurl.com/9hbyf3).

I loved the benediction. Moved me to tears through which I laughed at the end (http://tinyurl.com/7wp84c).

Sorry for all the links to my blog, but there is just so much to say about that extraordinary occasion.

I just have one request- that you rate it or my Stephen Colbert icon, which has made it to page 4 of the top-rated obamicons! I confess, I want the millisecond of semi-fame that front-page status bestows.

Thanks!
