We lost a music legend today

Ike Turner used to live Very close to us, close enough that we could hear their practice sessions from their backyard (this was in typical middle-class suburbia, a huge fall for him). After he died of a drug overdose, I read up on him and was shocked how many movers and shakers in the music industry he knew. If only I had spoken with him more, now knowing that he knew Chuck Berry, B.B. King, Elvis, etc.

Yes, I know what he did and he paid for it the rest of his life, watching his former wife go onto greatness he could have only imagined. If only he'd supported her...
