Tina's comments were no comment. She said she hadn't spoken to Ike in 35 years and had no further comment.

I watched the movie about them two and I don't blame her one iota for not talking to him. I love Tina!

Oh, sorry Grooch! I had a little story about Paul Newman sent to me the other day and the email was just titled Paul Newman and it scared the shit out of me! Luckily it was just a charming little story..

Well, can't say as I blame Tina for making no comment. She has always taken the high road.

That's just so sad. His song Leader of the Band reminds me so much of my father.

I went to high school with little Danny Fogelberg, which is how I will always remember him. He was one of those kids who had a little combo band that played in his garage. He was good enough that his combo got to play for his class's freshman mixer. There were three boys in the family. Danny was the youngest. I sat behind his brother in English class. All three of the boys were very talented. Brother my age could hear any music played and sit down and play it on the piano. He was also an excellent artist. Their father really was the band leader at the other high school in town. They lived in a neighborhood where the kids could go to either high school but the parents sent them to the high school where their father did not teach. My brother first told me sometime in college that Dan Fogelberg was going to make it big in music (same brother who also predicted that Ike and Tina Turner would hit the bigtime). My brother was going to an underground coffee shop in a church on the University of Illinois campus to listen to Dan Fogelberg sing. I knew he was battling prostate cancer, and last I read, maybe 9-10 months ago, it did not sound like he was going to survive. What a loss to the music world and his family and all of us.

oh, this is sooo sad though I am heartened to hear how many other fans he had. Juju, thank you for sharing that story. I'm a UIUC alum, and an IL native, so it is all the more poignant to me. There was a period of years when I listened to DF on a weekly basis, along with Cat Stevens, Jim Croce, Bread, and Simon & Garkfunkel.

Thank you for sharing that Juju-I have loved his music since I was a very young girl. Sharinia-I listened to the same music- as well as Loggins and Messina and Fleetwood Mac. (some deep purple and kiss, too) here is a link in case anyone wants to leave a message for his wife Jean and his family. http://www.thelivinglegacy.net/wishes.html
