Yes she is still alive, working, and sounding as great as she ever did back in the days when she had a string of soulful hits that went on to become classic pop standards. Roberta Flack backed by a fabulous band and an equally impressive 45 piece orchestra conquered Montreal's Bell Centre last night at a one-time-only private performance.
I was lucky enough to be part of the orchestra and managed to get ahold of Miss Flack before the show for a short Blob interview:
Blob-Good evening Roberta I was wondering if I could just have a few moments of...hey buddy get your friggin hands off my arm!! I was only trying to speak to Miss Flack (shows security pass) OK then...thank you. Anyways welcome to Montreal. I'm with a little site called The Blob. Can I ask a few questions?
RF- The what???!!
Blob- It's my blog...it's not important. Ummm....What brings you to our fair city?
RF- Well child it sure as hell isn't the weather (raucous laughter) My lord you people sure know how to handle snow. Back where I come from they would've closed the state down for a week!!
I'm just here for this Future Electronics Christmas show. It's a pleasure to play in Montreal again but I have an issue with a certain Canadian that maybe you could help me with.
Blob- Sure Aretha, I mean Roberta...sorry. What can I do?
RF- Have you heard of this guy called Robert Picton, the mass murderer?
Blob- You mean the one from British Columbia accused of killing and butchering dozens of prostitutes at his pig farm/processing plant, who's year long trial recently ended and who now awaits the verdict from a sequestered jury?
RF- Yeah that's the guy...anyways a fan of mine says that she heard of a rumor about a CD this guy released that supposedly rips off a lot of my stuff. I haven't been able to confirm this... being Canadian do you think there's any way you could help?
Blob- Sure Roberta, I'm something of an expert at web based research. If there's an album out there I'll find it for sure!
RF- Thanks ever so much, you're a real doll and by the way, that shaker groove you layed down at the end of the 1st tune was spectacular. I better go warm up now. God Bless.
After the show I raced home to start my web search and sure enough I had the evidence within minutes. Robert Picton is a monster no doubt and a cheap rip off artist as well. May he rot in prison for eternity!!

Damnit, why do I eat breakfast when I read the Blob?? I'm gonna spew shreddies all over the keyboard. Blobbele, you've done it again!
Thanks Maria,
My Dad told me many years ago that if I could get a laugh with mass murderer related material, then and only then will I have arrived. I took this to heart as I did all his good advice (did you know he invented the concept of "try the left hand, it'll feel like somebody else") and now after reading your comment I feel like today is the first day of the rest of my life!!
Ed. note: The Blob is in no way liable for any damage due to spewing of commestibles that affect computers or peripherals (i.e. speakers, routers, game controllers, half eaten bags of Doritos, large piles of dirty clothes, comic books etc.)
Blob,
This post was so funny I snorted Pepsi out of both
nostrils. But get this: I was drinking Orange Crush
at the time. [!]
But anyway. Keep up the great work. It was well
worth the effort getting through the extended set-up
for the humorous punchlines in the visual.
Cheers!
Tterbfan...true story: I looked at the Picton/Flack story again and laughed till I puked, a lot. A bit squirted out of my ear even...true story!!
