I love Tina Turner and she's my Sh...No problem. I love Tina Turner and she's my Shero as well. I remember the first time I saw her and I couldn't beleive how beautiful she looked and sounded. I still remember doing the routine to her video for What's Love Got To Do With It in front of my late grandmother's house in Queens at the age of 13. Her music has inspired me in life. I love how she chosed not to be typecasted because of the color of skin; she let the world know that Blacks are capable of singing other genres of music besides R&B. I remember this bougie Black bitch tried to criticize me for doing a presentation of Tina at a Black history program, but when one of the other kids' mothers came to my defense, she copped an attidue and walked away. I'm glad I did that essayDA-PROFESSORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10406330841563905500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699670780804403892.post-61857499230761041052009-10-18T23:32:56.401-05:002009-10-18T23:32:56.401-05:00Ra Shawn, you stamped your feet in it. I have alw...Ra Shawn, you stamped your feet in it. I have always been a Tina Turner fan as she is one of my sheroes. You make me really want to buy her autobiography, I, TINA, which was published in 1986 and a controversial read because she revealed that ex-husband Ike Turner physically abused her for years. I remember when her album PRIVATE DANCER debuted 25 years ago because either my grandmother or my aunt bought it from the Wiz on Jamaica Avenue and New York Boulevard (now Guy R. Brewer Boulevard). Tina reminded me of my grandmother's co-worker, Miss Alberta Leonard, who had the same sass and no-nonsense attitude. "What's Love Got to Do With It" is one of my favorite songs of all time and I cannot believe how time flashed by quickly after 25 years. Wow! Ra Shawn, I am happy you are commemorating this milestone in popular culture and you are one of the gatekeepers who are keeping Tina's legacy alive. Thank you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
