proud mary, let it go
i don't understand why everybody likes tina turner so much. i mean, she had that one hit [4th grade girls liked it] in the 80s, but that was, what 20 years ago? she had a really bad theme song for "mad max: beyond thunderdome", and that wasn't even the good mad max [and did you see the video for it? cringe], so what else does she have that wanna-be pimp-daddy ike didn't beat out of her? idk. anyway, i just saw her on saturday night live singing some random, supposed-to-be-sultry love song in a business suit top with short shorts and a big black leather jacket. i'll give you a visual to help you appreciate the pain i suffered: it was like taking that one aunt you have that wears way too much make-up, and whose lipstick is always lopsided, then dressing her up in a nice ladies business suit just removed from a wood chopper, then making her sing and dance barefoot on a metal stage heated to a few hundred degrees ... and then tell her to act sexy. it was a bad train wreck. hey, i understand about having respect for the greats and what they've imparted to the musical scene, but how does that apply to tina turner? at least someone had enough pity on her to cut to commercial in the middle of her 'song' before she hopped herself into a happy little coma.
