Ike Turner Deaded.

[brianx]

Can I just say that I liked the music that Ike made and I'm prepared to cut him some slack. I know that he did some horrible things to Tina which are unforgiveable but we all fuck up. I've done some things that I'd hate to be published we all have. History is written by the winners and all that. The man's dead he won't be hurting anyone again.

Do you have a moustache?

Yes. It's like the leather man's in Village People. Why?

Apparently the New York Times ran with IKE BEATS TINA TO DEATH

It was the NY Post actually - when I read it on another forum, I thought it was just a joke but no:

the guy was black and beat his wife...this is all you hear..what about all the other rock stars who do worse and the press dont mention it?

Tina got her revenge by becoming hugely successful in the '80s anyway.She was one sexy woman in the 60s and 70s

What stopped him from telling his side?

.'

Ike signed a disclaimer with the makers of "whats love got to do with it" which meant that they could portray him in any way that they wanted. (cos he was a broke crackhead)

No one is making excuses for Ike's behaviour here (which he admitted himself), they are merely pointing out that he was a greatly talented and influential musician.

But you already know this, you are just doing your "shit troll" act.

 

[dirtysanta]

Not bothered about his personal life. None of my fucking business. But Ike Turner and The Rhythm Kings were fucking great. A sad loss AFAIC.

I think he was a somewhat talented and not all that influential musician. And if he agreed to keep his mouth shut about the 'other side', then he shouldn't be surprised that he's getting slagged for the wife beating.

you're clueless, aren't you?

Hitler was an incredibly talented leader-should we forgive him?

Sorry for disagreeing with you.

I've been following Ike for awhile. I first saw him in 1973.

RIP

but yeah haven't got much respect for a man who beats his wife.

Everytime I hear his name I think of Machine Gun Funk by Notorious BIG. Someone IMO who deserves a tad more post-living respect for lyrics such as:

That's why I pack a nina, fuck a misdeameanor
Beatin motherfuckers like Ike beat Tina
(What's Love, Got to Do)
when I'm rippin all through your whole crew

I trust you are joking

I know-I was being facetious and invoking Godwins Law. I think you missed the boat on that one.
