RIP Tina Turner

Really good interview with Larry King, at the beginning of which she talks about why she left the US.

Would have been about 57 when this aired. What a gorgeous woman, amongst many things.

Are you that guy that said Kayne was the greatest musical genius ever or are you a different moron.

Are you high?

I read a story today about the high school Tina attended in St. Louis (Sumner HS).  It was the first African-American high school west of the Mississippi.  Check out this list of luminaries who went there, without even listing opera titans, media stars, etc:

 

Tina Turner

Arthur Ashe

Chuck Berry

Billy Davis Jr (The Fifth Dimension)

Dick Gregory

Robert Guillaume

Dang.  Tina and Ann-Margret?  That's stellar.

Never knew she was the inspiration for the song. Waylon was in Ft Worth in '69 and saw an ad promoting Tina. Waylon joined Willie In the middle of a poker game. And from there the lyrics went. 

Learn something new every day.
