Confessions of a sad superhero book 106

 Yesterday the world lost yet another icon. Tina Turner (AKA: Anna Mae Bullock) passed away at the age of 83. She was that rare miracle in showbiz because although she had some fame her career really skyrocketed after she walked away from an abusive relationship with only 36 cents in her pocket. I remember that summer in 1984. I was in Canada for summer vacation with my family and visiting my uncle Junior. That song "Whats Love Got To Do With It" was in heavy rotation on the radio and one of my relatives played it alot. I think we also went to the movies to see Ghostbusters that summer too. I ended up getting a cassette of the album and wore it out especially during a trip back east to visit my father the following Summer. My favorite Tina Turner song was a toss up between Lets stay together and Better be good to me. Or maybe it was Whats love got to do with it at some point? I recall watching her concert on HBO. There was also a wild Saturday Night Live appearance related to a Wrestlemania event. Then the Mad Max movie came out and then the movie with Angela Bassett. Angela said Tina took her shopping and it helped he prepare for the role as she got to know Tina. Some months ago I bought a Tina Turner documentary on my Xbox and I started watching it but just like the Janet Jackson docufilm on Hulu I need to go back and finish it. I'm gonna miss The Queen. Just finished listening to some of her music on Iheart Radio and it really took me back to when life seemed so much simpler than it is now. We didn't have to worry about school shooters. Terrorist attacks were rare. Gone are the days one could actually leave the house doors open and go to sleep without worrying about somebody coming in for robberies and home invasions. Thats the endearing power of music. When you hear it it can transport you back in time and I sometimes wonder if the secret of time travel lies in our memories. If thoughts are energy and we are energy well it does make sense this could be key to us being able to move from the present to the past.
