Well-Known Wife-Beater Dies in Dago Suburb

The Mainstream Media is announcing that Ike Turner shuffled off this mortal coil this morning at the age of 76, passing in his sleep at his crib in the San Diego suburb of San Marcos. Career & life dope from his website.

Dig the conk job & pimp 'stache.

One of the originators of rock 'n' roll, Turner was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi, 5 November 1931, the same town in which Muddy Waters was raised. W/ personal punching bag Tina. Also note the big clock around her neck, pre-dating Flavor Flav by a decade, at least.
