aretha’s magic hat
January 28, 2009
There’s something funny about that giant photo of last week’s presidential inauguration that I assume everybody in the world has seen by now.
Because it’s a composite image and not everyone sits still through long speeches, some heads in the audience are conflated, truncated or just plain screwy. It almost looks like some dude with a goatee is wearing Aretha’s hat, or like she’s got some kind of magical force that causes that fedora to float unsupported in front of her face (for some awesome kind of rock and roll reason, clearly, since it’s Aretha after all). I had hoped that such a remarkable and mystical image might finally reveal Dick Cheney’s hidden demonic nature for all to see, but sadly he’s still too crafty for that.
Sorry for the shabby photo quality; I haven’t figured out why I can’t get the “print screen” function to work properly on my new laptop, so I had to do it the old way: camera held up to the screen.
