enough about Tina

seriously, enough with the songs referencing Ike and Tina. there are, at least, two songs out now that talk about "fighting like Ike and Tina." Ike and Tina didn't "fight." Ike beat the dog shit out of Tina, on top of mentally and emotionally abusing her. i mean, she got a few licks in, but they weren't "lovers' quarrels" or "spats." he was beating her up and bustin' up her lips and face. it was not a good look and took her a long time to overcome. so, let's respect the struggle and, really, stop it.

on a lighter, yet related topic, damn Shrek. i'm listening to some Tina and all the while she's crying out for a hero, all i see in my mind's eye is the fucking Fairy Godmother. damn Shrek 2 for being so damn funny and using such a good song. now it's ruined.

i still love you Tina. i'll even forgive your rendition of John Waite's Missing You, because you're a bad mothafucker and i respect you...and you gave me the gift of Private Dancer...but i don't have to keep it on my hard drive.
