NEWS: MUSICIAN IKE TURNER PASSES
Wednesday, December 12, 2007

Reports are coming in that musician Ike Turner died today at the age of 76.
“He did pass away this morning” at his home in San Marcos, in northern San Diego County, said Scott M. Hanover of Thrill Entertainment Group, which managed Turner’s musical career.
There was no immediate word on the cause of death, which was first reported by celebrity website TMZ.com.
Turner managed to rehabilitate his image somewhat in his later years, touring around the globe with his band the Kings of Rhythm and drawing critical acclaim for his work. He won a Grammy in 2007 in the traditional blues album category for Risin’ With the Blues.
But his image is forever identified as the drug-addicted, wife-abusing husband of Tina Turner. He was hauntingly portrayed by Laurence Fishburne in the movie What’s Love Got To Do With It, based on Tina Turner’s autobiography. USA-TODAY/PHOTO: WIREIMAGE
Condolences to his family, be sure to check back for any updates…

“I do know that Tina Turner ended up with a series of caucasian men, like 98% of famous black women do”
can you really blame a successful black women for upgrading to a latino or white man? i mean really, there are not that many strong minded emotionally mature black men that could handle a woman like that without having some serious ego flare ups! black men as a whole need to get their shit together. until then, caramel or white chocolate will be giving me what i need!

Ok here’s my thing…I know “What’s Love Got to Do with it?” is and will always be embedded in our minds which is why everybody is casting all these stones. Shoot, some of us even laughed during the movie which could be why this is a joke to some of u…However lets never forget that this man has passed away…he has children and family members who are hurting. The things he has done is no different than what some of your own family members have done…his was just played out in the media. I have uncles…Im sure yall have uncles, daddys, brothers who haven’t made the right choices in their life and some woman had to deal with them…now if they died how would u feel?
Also lets not forget that no sin is greater than the other in the Lord’s eyes. So while you are casting stones and talking about he’s going to hell…think about your own life and the things you’ve done…
If u used to steal when u were little…what if someone said Oh well a thief has died…he won’t be stealing no more…lol
Or She was a hoe…guess she won’t be freaking no one in hell…
I say RIP Ike…I pray that you are with peace with the Father. Condolences to the family.
Anyway…those are just my thoughts…Stay Blessed!

@Jlewis, It always worked out better when I sold the books to fellow students my damn self. I even listed some on half.com. They sold pretty fast and I didnt feel raped when it was over. The whole textbook thing is a racket. I took A&P 1 to learn that by A&P 2 there would be a new textbook. Thank God my prof. said we could still get by with the same book. I would have hated to be the only one with the old version. But I sure would have gotten over it.

This is like really the first semester where I was like wtf…cause usually I might walk away with $150 on a good day but not this semester. Plus I took my books off campus thinking I’d get a better deal. I should have been like give me the damn books back. I still have one more to sell after my final tomorrow. Hope I can get 30 to 40 off of it but I doubt it. I’ve learned my lesson. Just 2 more semesters of this shit and I’m out!!!

#199 kiss my ass. I am not a feminist, but I am not going to take any b/s from a man black or white. I know that I am black and proud of it so who the hell are you to question it. the point is that Hollywood is about money. once they saw that Boys in the Hood made money, then they made more films like that. once they saw the Tyler Perry made money, then they greenlighted his projects. Am I saying that racism does not exisit out there ….no! of course there is racism, but now miniorites and women have the option to make their own vision thru independent films as opposed to 30-40 years ago when that was not possible. why is feminism bullshit anyway…are you one of those men who are threatened by a strong women. get your dick out your own ass and sit your silly ass down with the insults. plenty of independent films make plenty of money and are seen by large numbers of people. the big budget movies are the one that are losing money for the studios because they cost more to make and the studio does not see a profit. just because my opinion differs from yours does not make me dumb, silly, or beneath you. get your damn mind right!

I wonder if he abused the other 15 wive’s he said he had. That’s alot of arm abuse. Well from reading several other sites, I summed it up. Try to R.I.H–if you can. You lived on the edge, known for being a very talented loser and abuser. Smart dummy. Ignorant, inttelligent man whose dreams were satanized. Criminal minded sense birth, hidden talent of being the best crack smoker, guitar player, songwriter and womanizer. I say R.I.P ,only GOD’s opinion matters. I hope you used the Bible that sat on your table. I will say a prayer for you and your family.

Ike was a controlling cocky jerk who lived for tina turners spot light and he brutally beat his wife and trapped her in a prison he thought he made tina but he dident she made her self and he would have never made it without her and he treated her that way so may god have mercy on his soul.
