Ike Turner dead at 76

Interesting. He has allegedly spent decades trying to live those allegations down.

He has now passed away at the age of 76. He was a talented man who launched the career of Tina Turner, as well as helped the careers of others. Rest in peace, again.

Ike was a terrible human being who just happened to be a music talent. Before he married Tina, he had already been married and had children. Once he started to use drugs, he beat Tina savagly.

He openly cheated with other women: had a baby with one Ikette, who he later married, then married another Ikette.

He was in jail 11 times, mainly for drug-related incidents and was unable to attend the induction ceremonies for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Why? Because he was in jail.

I happen to have a few issues with people like this. Had he not had money from entertainment, I'm sure all of his wives and offspring would have been living in shelters.

If you think he is God, well I hate to see how you treat your women.

Then stay out of his R.I.P thread and work on making sure you're absolutely perfect by the time your obituary comes around.

I won't say that I'm perfect, but my Obit will contain line regarding my fundraising efforts for the Victims of Domestic Violence.

As would a lot of obits.

But is there anything you've done that would overshadow your fundraising efforts? That would depend on who your earthly, self-appointed, judgers are.

Can't think of any, unless you count my old speeding tickets.

Actually, I do hope he rests in peace. He can't harm any more women where he is going.

Right! I'm not a fan of innuendo.

As others have said, as a musician Ike very talented and made great contributions...as a human being, I hope that he has made his peace with himself and God and rests in peace.

You're correct, none of us are perfect but Ike Turner was a terrible person. Theres a difference between having a few problems and brutally beating your wife, cheating on her openly, and going to jail twice a year. If I ever become as terrible of a person as Ike then I pray that people will say bad things about me when I pass. Then again, I have a sense of accountability.

PhiGam i like where your head is. Ike Turner was not a good person and neither is Bobby Brown or any other wife beater. But then again I'm sure the hippie, left-wing people that seem to infest this forum will have some sort of excuse for the reason why Bobby beat Whitney when he dies. Some people can take accountability for their actions but it takes someone with character to do that.

The logic of hippie, left-wingers justifying abuse doesn't add up with what "hippie and left-wing" entail.

But I guess being a southernfrat means you wouldn't know about class and gender power and prestige and what happens when it is misused by people like the right-wing conservatives.

See why labels are so categorically presumptuous and dumb?

*************
Ike Turner wasn't a good person as it relates to the things that he's reported to have done. That's all I know about him personally. Professionally, I see his works and say R.I.P to a creative person. Just that simple. I'll try not to stalk his grave site or adopt an alternate personality named "Ike" so I can live my life and record an album.
