Now I know a lot of you will disagree with me on this, but feel saddened by Ike's passing away.  Bear in mind I don't overlook the the way he mistreated and abused Tina and am sure probably others as well, having read Tina's powerful autobiography and seen the movie.  What can't be ignored was his talent , influence and historical contributions to the music industry... About 10 years ago my then husband and I were sitting at the bar at Mississippi Nights, when Ike sat down next to me. (Ike, Jr. was playing that night).  My husband nudged me and said it was him (he had a hat on and I didn't recongnize him.) Then I got (just) a little nervous...but he was very quiet, pleasant and only drank coffee (with A LOT of sugar. ) Btw-also saw Tina Turner  (at about age 47) perform at the Fox back in the '80s. Mom went and really rocked out-we both loved it-and she (Mom) would have been around 60!
