A book is a book and a movie is a movie and both should be taken with a grain of salt. Tina Turner is a superstar and Ike Turner wasn't. Tina told her story to Mike Wallace on 60 minutes. Has anyone heard Ike Turners story? Did he write a book? From what I hear he did admit his flaws and history of violent behavior and attempted to atone for them. Tina told her story and enriched herself and became a darling of the media and a poster child for spousal abuse. So who is the bad guy in the eyes of the public? Ike Turner. Bad enough so people ignore anything that he did for rock and roll and R&B music as we know it. I heard other rumors about a certain singer/songwriter supposedly beating up his movie star wife/girlfriend but he never lost his fan base. What's the difference between the two? I don't see any only that Ike's story was well publicised and the other wasn't. So I will remember Ike Turner as the innovator and music icon that he was. Put the rest in the gossip column. Ben
