The Genius of Ike Turner

As you all know I love my "rock and roll" music. I think that I have the largest collection of Barry Manilow and Barbra Streisand albums of any bird that I know. That being established I would like to comment on the sheer brilliance of Ike Turner. I mean how many black men do you know that beat their wives, cheat on them, have illegitimate children and finally, are found in a seedy hotel room with their pants around their ankles, drugs on the table, a needle in their arm and the leave behinds of a local prostitute? Exactly, my point - Ike was a unique individual who like many in the hard living world of rock and roll died too young. To Ike and all the black men like him - you have my unwaivering admiration.
