Hi Kids: Oh well, maybe 'cause it's getting near Christmas, but all of this got me thinking about Pope John Paul II, (yes, and all the issues, both for and against) who after being shot, and losing 3/4 of his blood, pardoned his assailant. Then the images of him "ministering to the flock", feeble and weary, until it was his time to go...

And yes, the references and accusations are endless: Ike(beatings, drugs), James Brown(guns), Chuck Berry(nude photos), Britney Spears(=Britney Spears), George Bush(WOW)...

And who among us can truly say as we look in the mirror, "you ain't got nuthin' on me!?"

I just thought the obit was about respect and dignity for the departed, my mistake.

If you're interested, and if it gets through the cut and paste thing, you can read this interview:http://www.thecelebritycafe.com/interviews/ike_turner.html
