Teflon Turtle Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) supremebve wrote it best, I'm not gonna repeat any of that. But imagine being such an icon that over 180,000 people show up somewhere, just to see you be you in your element. This wasn't a festival; it was people coming just to see Tina Turner.

I mistakenly thought Tony Bennett sang it, so I ended up listening to 5-10 Tony Bennett songs trying to find it. It's probably the most Tony Bennett I've ever listened to, and then I wake up to hear he died. Tony Bennett was a great performer who had an even more incredible career. RIP to a legend.

Teflon Turtle Posted July 22, 2023 Share Posted July 22, 2023 (edited) Tony Bennett is - as far as I know, anyway - my dad's favorite singer. I sent him a text yesterday morning to ask if he'd heard the news. He replied that he had, and also wrote back "there is sadness in the kingdom." One of my favorite radio stations led off their morning show with this yesterday. Edited July 22, 2023 by Teflon Turtle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLowe Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Remember this song well, partially because I love MC Lyte. This was before she blew up with Nothing Compares 2 U (which happened when I was in college and was MASSIVE on our radio station there, even with people who normally wouldn't have played "college" music). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read about this. I only got into her (early) material this year. This sucks! The Lion and The Cobra is an amazing album from the word go, but nothing will ever beat "Troy" or "A Drink before the War" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) RIP Sinead. I was watching the night she went batshit on SNL. It was totally great. We should all be so bold and unapologetic. People so close to me in age passing away is more than a bit concerning. Edited July 26, 2023 by J.T. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 As part of the service, most of the music industry and entertainment in 1992 should have to publicly apologize to her while walking to the casket. As shocking to the system it was, she not only completely right but miles ahead of it. And instead she was almost blacklisted completely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greggulator Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Sinead had so many bangers. She was one of the most gifted musicians of her time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLSigman Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 This was a huge reason that I got into Elton John's back catalog at a time when I had written him off as a pop disaster (look, I was a dumb high school kid). She absolutely nailed this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should all be so bold and unapologetic. Batshit isn't exactly a word I'd use. Especially since it has such a massively negative connotation. Because always remember... She was 100% correct. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supremebve Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 So, nobody is going to post "THE" video? Seriously, I can't think of another music video that matched song and visual better. Sinead O'Connor was a lot of things, a lot of them memorable, but I'm not going to remember any of them more than this video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonial Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Randy Meisner Dies: Eagles Founding Guitarist Was 77 – Deadline Frontman on "Take It to the Limit," which he wrote. I recall reading he had a host of mental and physical health issues in his later years. Also performed with Ricky Nelson's Stone Canyon Band and Poco.
