Cher went to Sonny's funeral. Will Tina go to Ike's? Will Cher go to Ike's?

"You can go ask Snoop Dogg or Eminem, you can ask the Rolling Stones or (Eric) Clapton, or you can ask anybody — anybody, they all know my contribution to music". Not to mention The Prodigy!

Once many years ago I went to Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland and as an incredible surprise Ike Turner was playing. Turns out he had just gotten out of jail and was ready to rock along with his Ike'ettes. Was a truly great show. And he didn't hit anyone!

Satan has a room for Ike. Past the vats of boiling murderers, Past the rapists gnashing their teeth, There's a small, dimly lit room with a chair. As Ike sits down, the door locks, And "Private Dancer" is piped in. Forever.

Yes, he was a rat-bastard wife-beater, but Tina's music never sounded half as good without him.
