Good riddance? Or tragic figure?

Did he strain himself beating his Tina? :p

Wow. How about that?

Oh well. Don't really have sympathy for wife beaters.

I don't really know anything about it, but the article just said that she said that he beat her, and he denied it, so innocent until proven guilty and all that. However, as I said, I really don't know anything about it.

I would be sad except I barely ever heard of him. So I end with this: May he burn in hell if he beat his wife and may he rest in peace if he didn't.

Who?

He kept Tina in line.

Good Tragedy.


Bittersweet.

The bold is my major feelings and the italics are the dormant feelings (from my conscience)

Maybe they can compile all the domestic abuse calls Tina made into a Greatest Hits album?

Now people can eat their cake at their own leisure...ah, dated material...


Ah well, thanks for introducing us to Tina (who I was just watching in Thunderdome...) Your personal life aside, the funk was good.

He kept Tina in line.??

Oh that's the pun from hell.

All I know of him is that version of Proud Mary with Tina Turner. Don't know anything more, and quite frankly don't really care.
