Well said, Ben.

Listen, no one wants to support spousal abuse. And for that reason, few people want to commend Ike Turner for his great contributions to music.

Of course, maybe that's a fair price to pay for the wrongs he did commit...But I do agree that most of us have no idea who Ike really was, but we are quick to condemn him anyway. Usually, we are not condemning the man...we are condemning domestic violence and calling it Ike Turner.
