[Fritzo]

Right now in hell, 1000 blond women singing "Proud Mary" are beating the living snot out of him for payback.

Seriously? Dead? But he was the picture of health in all those photos I saw of him!

Seriously though, he couldn't have held on for another 20 goddamn days? This is going to KILL me in this year's celebrity death pool.

I find it hard to have any respect for the man considering he was a wife beater.

Rest in Pieces.

If you go down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
Ike just won't be one of them...

RIP

you have to separate the art from the artist sometimes.. Ike was pretty revolutionary.

He was a true pioneer, he had chaos in him but he did produce.

I am still waiting for his movie in response to What's Love Got to Do with It (perhaps the movie version of his autobiography, Taking Back My Name?).

I actually saw the Ike & Tina Turner Review my freshman year in college. Had front row seats. Damn I guess I'm old.

According to that msnbc article, he's credited with having recorded the first Rock and Roll album, in 1951. That's an interesting thing to be credited with...
