Tina Turner Dead @ 83

I’d trade Taylor Swift for Tina in a heartbeat

The Swifties on this board are going to leave you in a ditch.

You've been warned. (and the Swifties are jp and mgh)

I don't like Taylor Swift. Her first album was ok when she was country.

She was iconic. An incredible entertainer. Respect indeed.

RIP

Ike Turner, Tina’s husband, was a serial wife abuser. She left him with less than a dollar in change in her pocket.

She built a solo career. Her dream was to play in front of as many people as The Rolling Stones did.

Her dream was realized when she performed in front of 200,000 in Brazil

Incredible talent and determination

Yes. I didn't know Tina was known as "the queen of rock and roll" too. So in this month, two "queens of rock and roll" died.

Judging by the lack of news from US sites about her death, I'd say she wasn't.
