Ike Turner
Ike Turner died today.
A lot of us may not have agreed with his lifestyle.
However, he did as much for our brand of car as almost anyone.
Ike's landmark 1951 song "Rocket 88" shook the Nation.
It also made America at large aware of two strange new concepts.
#1 Oldsmobile "muscle cars"
#2 Rock and Roll
A visionary in retrospect, and no small feat for a man of his background.
Rest in peace, Ike.
