Ike Turner dead at 76

Ike%20Turner.jpg

Turner was a seminal figure in rock and roll -- but, perhaps properly, the stories on his death are leading with and dominated by his reputation as a mean tempered, wife-beating drug addict.

We have to talk about both things, I think -- and feel sad that a guy who could have been remembered simply as one of the greats so tarnished his legacy.
