Profile: Ike Turner

Friday December 14, 2007
It's no surprise that Tina Turner refuses to comment on the passing of her ex-husband, Ike -- not after all the physical and emotional hurt he put on her -- but Ike Turner made his mark in history long before he met her, jamming with Delta blues icons, creating what many consider the first rock and roll record, and introducing the world to several blues names that became even larger than his own. And then there was the Revue. Read more about the disturbing yet accomplished life of Ike Turner in my latest profile.

this bastard lived far too long. the Lord was too generous to him. thankfully he gave us Tina, he should have died right after that. may he rot in hell :)

my condolences to his family however, for losing someone close.
