ARETHA FRANKLIN – POSTPONES SHOWS

DURANT, Okla. (AP) _ Ever been on the road so long, you just don’t feel like being in another motor vehicle for a while? That’s how Aretha Franklin apparently feels. She cancelled two shows in Oklahoma next month because she says she’s road weary. She says after driving to the West Coast this summer, she isn’t ready to hit the road again so soon. Franklin is 73 and has a fear of flying, which means she uses a tour bus to get around for concerts. Franklin says she will reschedule the dates.
