There was the sad news this week that Aretha Franklin passed away at age 76, a real legend of a singer and quite a force to be reckoned with it seems as I read more about her.

Secondly, Madonna turned 60! I was never her biggest fan when it comes to he music but she really has gone out there and done what she wanted to do and the fact she is still doing that at 60 is admirable. It's great to see a woman not just giving up as her age increases as society's view of older women is definitely notoriously dubious. She still looks fantastic and doesn't care what the media says, but does her own thing. I do feel old seeing her turn 60 but it also gives me hope that in 20 years when I turn 60 life might not be over after all, assuming I make it that far
