Not a Hollywood celebrity but the son of the father-son marathon team, passed away at 61. The dad died in 2021.

The son was paralyzed so his dad pushed in over 1,000 marathons, duathlons and triathlons. Including 32 Boston Marathons. I don't know how anyone watching news especially sports news in the 90s, couldn't have been aware of them.

You're right. I got Brown and Modell confused but I knew there was a link. I blame bourbon.

Paul Brown was a genius. Son Mike Brown is a moron.

Tina Turner was a great talent who was able to reinvent herself after breaking from Ike.

Ike was a terrible abusive husband but he was a catalyst for rock n roll that never got his due. Rocket 88 is the first rock and roll song, recorded by Sam Philips in 1951, sold to Chess, and Ike and the band got $20 each on a hit that sold half a million copies.

Loved her talented work in music and in the Road Warrior. 
RIP.

Everything in this movie weirded me out, Tina included. But she played it well.

 

First time I saw her was at the Homecoming concert at Wichita State in the early 70s. Black Oak Arkansas opened for them. She danced all over the stage sans panties and I was smitten. RIP Tina.

Good job making 90% of your post about that piece of shit Ike.

Was familiar with Proud Mary but Tommy/Acid Queen was my first real exposure to Tina.  That tune pops into my head every blue moon.

Ed Ames passed away.

You young ones will not know that name but he had one of the funniest Tonight Show appearances in history.

I hadn’t seen that clip in decades.  The way He kinda physically sets up Carson by sort of hovering while Carson sharpens the axes.  It was beyond perfect to let it all marinade before Carson delivers the final line.  You can’t ever, ever learn that.  It’s in your bones.  RIP, Ed.

Good bit but I don't believe for a second that wasn't somewhat planned.

Vanishing Point was a cool movie when it came out. I was in 7th grade. It was an R but it was easy at the 4 screen cinema. Get a ticket to a different movie and walk into the different theater. Everyone wanted a white Challenger.

Good job making 90% of your post about that piece of shit Ike. 

Ike was an out of control Coke addict whose controlling elements turned him into a criminally abusive monster. But he basically invented rock and roll in 51 with Sam Philips. There’s no shortage of assholes and douchebags in the music business, most of whom have there sins overlooked due to their music and money. Lots of folks who condemned Ike happily defended Michael Jackson, R Kelly, and other pieces of shit.

She made a remarkable recovery and comeback; that album in 84 is a rock masterpiece in every way. I saw her with Ike a couple times and later on her own. Her Memphis shows were always wild due to being from Nutbush, though she mostly grew up in St Louis. She’s in my lady singer Rushmore with Dinah Washington, Dolly Parton, and Karen Carpenter. I gotta squeeze Aretha in there too.

I defend Michael Jackson, but I honestly don't know the details of the events. My feeling is that he was a very weird dude. So, he was easy to extort money from because he could never win in a trial. And I guess to some extent he is guilty - even if he just sleeps in the same room or bed with a kid and doesn't do anything else, that could scar a kid for life. So, maybe I'm not really defending him but am unsure whether he physically touched kids.

This is better.  Only ~50% of the post is about that piece of shit Ike Turner.

I forgot about Harbaugh sleeping in the same room as a kid to get his signature. Who was the recruit? Did he end up being any good?

 

 

But, yeah, I've got to say that defending a child molester is a bold strategy, Cotton. It seems pretty much impossible. And no good can come from it.

I couldn't believe Cher is only 77.  Seems like she should be 177.....

Damn, didn't realize she was still alive.   Girl from Ipanema is a classic.
