Ike Turner

Nobody's talking about this? He was definitely a pretty terrible person, but he was a major influence on modern music, though. Anyway, he's dead now.

As usual, the Post had the classiest headline:

Oh, NY Post, you're incorrigible! (http://www.nypost.com/seven/12132007/news/nationalnews/ike_beats_tina_to_death_79527.htm)

This was the first I heard he had passed away. Sorry to hear of anyone's passing, but this man was truly a slimeball!! I lived through all that shit! I'm really happy Tina was able to pick up the pieces and show him a thing or two! She and I are close to the same age - oh to have that figure!!!
