Favorite Things Audience... RIP Ike

Ok... I am not going to lie. I would LOVE to be in the audience for Oprah's Favorite Things episode. So maybe this is my own tall frosty glass of HATERADE (Or Hateration as Mary J. would put it...) And I also realize that the show was shot in Macon Georgia, where I have actually been, so I can attest to it's backwoods country culture... But for real, is a $250 Target gift card worth catching the holy ghost and almost passing out over? People fanning themselves before they fell out, jumping up and down, thankin Jesus... it was comical.

OK. So the Four Thousand dollar fridge with the LCD tv, dvd player, weather bug, and recipe screen was kinda hot. But... I dont think I would have been falling out the way they were falling out.

I was kinda  bored with the favorite things this year. Not saying that I wouldnt have gladly accepted Oprah's super-sized natural soap collection, or the panini maker... but I wasn't pressed for any of those things.

Now that I have sufficiently hated.... I am going to see if I can work a connection to get into the audience for next years show. Let me start practicing my holy ghost dance now... Hey, you never know, it could be an audience requirement...

RIP IKE...

I am sad to hear that the world's most famous wife-beating crackhead, Ike Turner has passed away. Hmmm... that was a bit disrespectful of the dead. Let me rephrase that, the world's most famous drug-addicted spousal abuser. Its a dayum shame that after the career he had when he was with Tina, he was reduced to that description. Each and every report about his death that I read online or saw on tv referenced drugs and beating Tina. It's a strong lesson that teaches us to never beat women if we didnt already know it, cause you will never be known for anything else afterwards. Part of me feels bad, because he was indeed a legend, and his memory is forever tarnished. But as someone who grew up with a father who was physically abusive to my mother until they divorced when I was 5, I am like, too fukking bad. You should never beat on a woman, so you get what you deserve. His memory is tarnished but compared to the damage you do to the victims of abuse including the children, its a light punishment.

Ike had some great hits

THANK YOU! Long before she had the book and movie, My mother used to tell me about a Music Studio in Brooklyn where Ike and more often than not bloody lipped, black eyed Tina turner would show up to record. I just brushed it off until I saw the movie and realized my Mom wasn't bullshitting me. Anyone who has lived in abusive home or seen abuse, who knows how things go from tranquil and nice to terror in less than a minute don't give two shits about old Ike dying.

I guess Ike and Rick James are sharing a crack pipe in the afterlife.
