howz about drunken drugged up women sucker punching men, that's ok with you?
what's your respect worth if it's uninformed or colored by hype anyway?
he dosen't need your respect and wouldn't care...if you had respect for your own aesthetics you'd get some of that very early ike and tina stuff...
ike won a grammy this very year. [

his contribution to blues and r&b and rock and roll is original and enormous.
how wonderful he was acknowledged and loved before his life ended today.
R.I.P. the great Ike Turner; born so poor he would sew rags together to make a blanket; watched his father die in front of his family home after being beaten by several caucasian fellers and then refused care at a hosptial...
nothing justifies violence toward women like duhhhh, but there's a human being there who was at the end of some pretty harsh shots himself, some of them directly from the fists of your angel...
like the news; a world of hyprocrits...hot teacher chick rapes a school kid and is out of jail taking fashion pix in a bikini on a motorcycle...
some idiot dude goes out with an underage girl and he's in the slammer bigtime, longtime...the recpient of unspeakable acts of repeated violence...
lots of lies in the press; lots of money in lies...you are entitled to disrepect him; i hate violence, and would give a woman a free shot and walk away if it ever came to that, and thank goodness it never has...i don't know if i'd give her two free shots tho...so i have earned your disrepect as well i suppose.
don't read everything you read in the papers. think context.
what's your biggest sin or most reactionary cruelest moment of your entire life?
or are you perfect?
take that moment and hate yourself and the world for it every single day for the rest of your life and have strangers who don't know you or the circumstanes write crap about you...
i have a theory about those who throw the first stone...and hide behind self righteousness, but i'll just repeat what the thread author titled this:
Ike Turner RIP
