Ike Turner dead at 76

SAN DIEGO - Ike Turner, whose role as one of rock's critical architects was overshadowed by his ogrelike image as the man who brutally abused former wife and icon Tina Turner, died Wednesday at his home in suburban San Diego. He was 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.

i've had a bad case of hiccups for a few hours now. when my roommate texted me and told me about it, the hiccups went away.

now that it's started to sink in, though, the hiccups are back.

its ok to be a wife beater if you make good music?

good riddance.

That photo you posted doesn't portray Ike for what he really was.

Dig?

tell that to the world, then.

To be honest, I thought he was dead already. Either way he was a cunt, albeit a talented one.

You're comparing self-inflicting heroin abuse to beating your wife?

val-holla-ing · 12.12.2007, 11:02 PM

not quite. just saying that there are plenty great artists in recent memory who each had their fuck ups (physical, mental, emotional, or whatever) and still get incredible recognition for their catalogues.

look at mariah carey, for example.

HAHA
oh damn

ps, heroin & wife beating are INCOMPARABLE.

Everyneurotic · 12.13.2007, 12:12 AM

regardless of beating tina "what's love got to do with it" turner, dude practically invented rock n' roll, so most bands wouldn't have happened without this great talented man.

show some respect.

Cantankerous · 12.13.2007, 12:14 AM

he is the best thing ever to come out of my old stomping grounds. well chuck berry is pretty badass too.

Rob Instigator · 12.13.2007, 12:40 AM

he made good music. I judge not his life. he was not very happy the last decades of his life. we experience our heavens and hells here on Earth and his life was his hell for the longest time. the man could make some fucking MUSIC though man.

however, if we wanna go that route....which is worse, beating yr wife or offing yrself and leaving yr wife behind to take care of yr child?

just...yeah.

personally i would rather get beaten. because that way the son of a bitch would still be alive and i could hate him and i could do something about it. when people die you have to accept it as fact, unfortunately.

yeah, like build HUGE press about that and not only driving one of the most awful songs in the history of the world to the top of the charts but also get a propagandistic movie to make you even more money.

Beating your wife.

I have nothing against Ike Turner, I just didn't like the comparison.

there really wasn't much of a comparison, to begin with, though.
