  1. Rachel's interview with AOC made my mom hold her breath whenever she speaks. I am use to her speaking her mind, but my mom has issues whenever she does speak what is on her mind. Such as a bigger $10 trillion infrastructure bill she proposed and adding her own list of problems that should be addressed, etc. I love AOC's passion and all, but she can't win too much with my mom. My mom is more of a Pelosi/Schumer fan, but she can only take AOC in small doses. Again her opinion only. All my other Puerto Rican relatives love her, but Mom is pretty neutral when it comes to her. She doesn't hate or love AOC. Rather, she is pretty meh on her whenever she is on TV. Again, her own opinion.

    From what I understand, just being removed from the situation doesn’t make PTSD go away.  It’s something that has to be managed.  Something unintentional can bring it all back - someone moving too fast in your peripheral view, a noise, etc.   This is why so many vets suffer when they come home. 

    Those interviews were terrible.  I’m so glad she’s found happiness.

    I wonder where the Crystal Light singers who originally recorded What’s Love Got To Do With It are...

    Interesting that Tina Turner never liked that song. Wow, the original was pretty 80s bad. So glad Tina turned it into a classic.

    I think that's right. She had sung (and danced) in Hollywood Revue in 1929, a film & date clearly too lacking in technical sophistication to attempt any dubbing -- it's clearly being recorded live on a stage, with all the attendant irregularities and noises. By 1933 it was probably possible, but nobody would have seen the need in a vocally undemanding movie, with a star who had been a hoofer onscreen so recently.

    She was singing in other late 1920s-1930s MGM films as well. She never had a strong voice to begin with.

  4. That fourth wave is scary. Even my state (NY) is opening up too early. I wondered if the governors or mayors would listen to Dr. Walensky. It does sound serious when she mentions we are opening too early because of these new variants. Your thoughts?

    Tina's still alive, and unless Ike killed himself (I don't follow him, nor do I care), then I'm lost with your guess of hereditary 🤔🤷‍♀️

    Well, I try to have an explanation on these sort of things, but I don't. It is just that Tina was doing  assisted suicide when she had kidney failure, which is legal in Switzerland. But when her second husband donated his kidney, she stopped.

    Do we know why he killed himself?

    Also, someone mentioned Tina has PTSD. If it's from the beatings, with Ike out of her life, can we assume she no longer suffers from PTSD?

    My guess? Hereditary. Actually, Tina did have kidney failure, has PTSD, a stroke, and among other health issues. The Oprah conversation tells about Tina receiving her second husband's kidney. They were together for more than 25 years and to think it went back to the 80s. That's quite remarkable. That's dedication. I am so glad she found a person that cared. Reminds me of Annette Funicello's husband Glen Holt who was with her all the time.

  7. The part where Tina Turner expresses anger was one of the rare moments in that clip. Hearing her voice raised to an anger level and the banging of her hand on the table is the perfect way to sum her frustrations. Hearing her late son in that old interview discussing the trauma of what he saw, Jesus.....no one should suffer for it. And I am with her son: apology, my ass. It was not sincere. Poor guy.

  8. I know. Other than Ike himself, her mother was really something. Your daughter gave you a home and you act like that still? Tina deserved much better. It is wonderful she married a nice European gentleman. It is not mentioned in the documentary, but she had kidney failure and suffered a stroke. Her husband offered his kidney to her and Tina being modest, did not want him to   do that. She always insisted that he was young and that Tina was old, but he was adamant about it. That’s dedication. Another thing is that she still suffers from PTSD. 

    She did left with grace. And her new mansion in Zurich is really something. Seeing a picture of teenaged Tina Turner is something. However, the pictures of Tina shows what an magnetic presence she was, even when they showed her not in the best moments. You still saw that charisma she always carried with her.

  9. Anybody watch this! I was getting teary-eyed when near the end of the documentary they showed present day Tina at the Broadway play musical and everyone giving a standing ovation. What a life she lived. Damn, those talks about Ike from interviews. WTF?

  10. Jeff Garlin's complexion scares the crap out of me more than the late George Segal. White-gray hair, thin ruby red lips, and unhealthy pallor...I tell you, when Garlin yells, I expect a heart attack and him keeling over. I hate to sound tragic, but when he yells, I say things like please take it down a notch. And I thought John Goodman's unhealthy skin was worrisome. Since the last few seasons, Garlin's skin tone was off and with the drastic weight loss, I am concerned.

    Time will tell whether SCOTUS rules against the suppression bills-- I'm certain they will be challenged. But I agree it's super-distressing how bad things are that they're even passing them in the first place. Chris Hayes was asking on his show what would stop the GOP from winning back Congress and the WH in the future and reversing any federal bills (like HR1 and HR4) even if the current administration passes them. So... we have a really big problem.

    That is why it is necessary to pass these bills now!
