Tina Turner
Yup. Just heard it on TV.
Kung Fu movies are like porn. There's 1 on 1, then 2 on 1, then a group scene..

Sad seeing all of my father's young crushes dying of old age.

Sadness.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Pretty sure I've seen the What's Love Got To Do With It video a billion times. RIP to a fucking force of nature.

Re: Tina Turner
Powerhouse talent. And both the doc "Tina" and the fictional movie "What's Love Got To Do With It" are great.
Re: Tina Turner
Wow.
Here she is closing a show in ‘82 doing a cover of Bob Seger’s Hollywood Nights. Her energy is infectuous (before she worked with Heaven 17’s Martyn Ware on her cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” which essentially launched her record deal with Capitol Records)…
RIP.

Read somewhere that Ike Turner was nowhere near the studio during the lengthy and epic recording sessions for "River Deep, Mountain High"
I know that Ike Turner has some "pioneer of rock" credibility, but you talk about leaching off talent, he takes the cake.

Ike's mistake was not leading the NFL in rushing 8 times

I'm sitting here next to Univ. of Denver's campus and the guy doing the bells for the tower is going OFF with a Tina Turner tribute. What's Love Got to Do With It just finished. We'll see where this goes throughout the day.

Re: Tina Turner
Old guy rant (not directed at swampers):
it’s weird and mildly upsetting how many online tributes I’ve read seem to believe her career began with “What’s Love got to Do with It.” Lady was a legend long before that.

Re: Tina Turner
as a little kid I watched the movie "Tommy" on HBO a bit earlier than I should have - her performance of "The Acid Queen" was seared into my brain from about age 8.
hard to believe even then that it was less than 10 years between that and Private Dancer

Re: Tina Turner
That was her only #1 song, so wasn't her 80s renaissance her commercial peak? And I'm totally talking out of my ass here but she bottomed out at some point, financially at least, so building herself back up to a superstar while in her 40s (and without her POS husband) might have been her personal and professional peak, too.

"...She was of course my Acid Queen in the Tommy movie, and it is often my job to sing that song with The Who, so she always comes into my mind. It isn’t easy to deal with. The song is about abuse at the hands of an evil woman. How she turned that song on its head! All the anger of her years as a victim exploded into fire and bluster and a magnificent and crazy cameo role that will always stay with me.
She has been in my mind for the last ten years, I kept meaning to track her down, and see how she was. I truly thought she would live forever.”

Re: Tina Turner
I did not know that Mark Knopfler wrote Private Dancer. Or that Jeff Beck played on her version (with the rest of Dire Straits, minus Knopfler).
Totally Kafkaesque
