How You Gonna Back-Track Like That?

So... One day later, and Etta James is playing the "damage-control" game. She is claiming that she was merely "joking" about the remarks she made towards Bey and Obama. Honestly though, I think she didn't realize the power of technology, bloggers, and the Internet-- because I'm sure she never expected that statement to get so far, so fast. Long gone are the days of old when you can say something naughty (Etta), or DO something naughty (Mike Phelps), and get away with it. Everywhere you look big brother is watching, or snapping away from a camera phone near you. I dunno, they say beneath every joke is some truth, and I believe it. The only thing Etta might be sorry for now is getting her spot blown.
