That is pure comedy, coming from you.


You are obviously young and still in school. Ike Turner pre-dates you. Just because the movie came out in your lifetime doesn't mean you know his life story nor can you judge his talent or impact in the time in which he first made his mark.

Here's the headline and opening paragraph from Newsweek's article on his passing:


Quotes from a BBC article, read the whole thing here:


You can even find articles with praise for his talent that ran in The Washington Times and Fox News, which I'm guessing are right up your alley...

This isn't an "argument." This is (now) a light hearted discussion in a R.I.P thread. Most of the posts in this thread aren't about R.I.P and don't belong here, including yours. And I don't know what facts there are to twist but I do always think it's dumb when someone enters into a discussion and then accuses responders of disagreeing with them just for the helluvit. Is that what you were doing in your initial post?



DUH. ;)

...nooooo kidding...maybe that's how it fits into this thread...


Altho most of Ike's wrongdoing haunted him while he was alive, most of the names I listed had some of the same issues....altho they were talented, they still had demons that OVERSHADOWED thier talent? maybe that's how it fits into this thread perhaps??


And perhaps measuring talents was not a point of the names I listed because it's all subjective and not really the point at all.

The "picture" I've gathered of you from your posts has absolutely nothing to do with you being either southern or greek.
