Hello, I am here on my hair's a miss put a hat on. Let's let's throw in my hair. I am on live. We'll see why everybody comes on. That's I am here as right. Yeah, we've lost an icon, Tina Turner, So start with that conversation. It's about fifty plus. How about somebody who changed their lives who wasn't? And I'm going live for some people. It's nighttime. I usually go live. What it's time? Mi shelbygan and hello, so I cried. I'm very sad about
her Albert High. She is my idol in terms of kind of from abusive background and then overcoming it later in life, which I've done, um and starting a whole career in my forties, thirties, forties. She showed me she could do it. I could do it. Hi, Jason, let sue him. Then. Not many celebrities get to me and always sad someone dies, but there are a few. And my close friends now my longtime friends, not how much I love Tea Turner. And I'm going to see
Tea the Musical next month in June. So that's really very interesting, you know. Um, I am I just I was amazed by her courage and that she just changed your life. And it was always very authentic about herself and something I strived to be myself. Do somebody who just is like's who I am, where I came from? I don't live and where I came from, And I'm gonna I'm gonna go forward and read me. Well, you saw a master Square Garden, Michelle. That's good. The sad part
is, I've been to a million concerts. I've never seen teen alive. One of a few regrets of my life. Don't know why. There you go, Jason, you see you see. I don't know why it just happened that way. I didn't see her. So I've seen the live shows on video and stuff, but I never saw her alive. So that's one of my biggest one of my biggest regrets. There are a few folks I sky Sea cups all time. There are a few folks I just never seen.
Yes the rock, Yes, she had threat the ultimate combackstory, and for it to be a black woman, just that's even even more impressive in fact that she didn't let that hold her back, didn't let her hold her down. That rock and roll music is for everyone, if it's just good music. It's good music that black folks can do rock and roll and be respected in rock and roll. M she was high, beauty for ashes. She was. She was the whole package. You know. She wasn't perfect,
and she never says she was. Um. She knew about her past. She told us her past, she showed us her past. Um. Yeah, but she was always looking forward and she got her her younger man went to Switzerland, said bibe bitches as she was ju just fine. My favorite or my favorite coats of hers when she was sixty three sixty four years old and she was and now she's retiring, and they're like, why are you retiring. She's like, I'm a fifty four year old grandmother. I'm
tired. I dance in heels three I dance in heels three nights, three three inch heels, five nights a week, six nights a week. I'm tired. Because people just thought she would live forever. They thought she had performed forever because she she came back so you know, considerably late, as they called it, and just slate it. And so she she showed people that you can still look good and still dance and seeing him pop it out in your fifties and sixties. She was like, she was one of the
first ones to show us that. But I always knew if you're a dancer and you still dance all your life, that that's something that just stays with you. They doesn't go within and go away. My girl Tony Basil talks about that in her seventies. My my late friend Shabadukonis was the same thing. It's like, if you just continue, if you're always dancing, that dancing stuff doesn't go away. Mishan A dream was a teenage turn Because I have nice legs too, I assume she was my grandmother. He was my
leg and grandmother. I was telling you my grandmother in my dream. Was hilarious. They about Tina Turner. It's also amazing when she left Ike, She's like, all I wanted his name. She knew that name meant something, you know. She was an any May Bullock, but she did. Tina Turney was gonna get her somewhere. She's like, you can have everything else, I just want to name. Mm hmmm. Yeah, but I'm
surprised you're not live right now doing your thousand shows. I loved Anza Bassett's um statement I was waiting for her statement and miss miss Bassett did I've meant Angela Bassett super sweet person? Okay, just you can't even imagine I'm just as beautiful in person. Um, she didn't look like Tina, but like she said, like Tina said to her, she didn't mimic her. She found her own Tina and brought it out. And that's why she deserved her
Oscar domination and probably should have won. But you know, but you know Oscar the politics a plot of story. Her aunt Lawrence Fishburn, who was nominated, saying, ike, they worked it out in that movie. Mhm right, Albert, I know this is this is your time period, sorry, your time slot. You got to come on. They took him my Trey pot I mean, just die right here on the screen. Bradley. Did you see the latest documentary? It came about two years ago. It's
good. I think it's on Hulu or our HBO Max are not called Max. It's really good. It's a newer documentary, that's what. So yeah, that's what it so. Yeah. She talked about that how she said, I gave your book, I gave you a movie. What more do you want for me? Let me turn on light to get dark. It's getting dark in here. I can't see myself fell in love with Penne Johnson Gerald years after whilst got to do with It and as Florida Perments while he
watched what she was let me got to do with it. I can't remember she was in it. Just yeah, allowed, ready for we can share? I thought, well, thank you, I'm not talking so ucking Tangantina Turner, I don't pay just Johnson Gerald from twenty four that's when my first encountered her and loved her on that Thanks for much for coming in and watching get that Yeah hipo like button. Well you since you're here, the lid the like button for Tina. You don't hit it for me hitting for Tina.
I have a book I Tina. I read it first, I bought it and I bought it when it came out a little as they still have it for the payerback. And that's not a movie. And I said, we see, we just we just got the tickets. So I'm going to my chocolate twin. Tony. His friend Stephen said, my sister and my brother in law, we're all going to see Tina. Oh yeah, Dared Bowie, Well you know, darreed Bowie, as we know like the Black
Women's but he also fought for black rites. He questioned that, you know, I know you saw that famous clip they went around for a while about MTV and him are good and going wand there black cards playing, because I mean you think, I mean I was here, thank you by all, I have a good show. I mean I was here. I had MTV and we were we had a we had a black box. So we had the MTV back when it was you know whatever, we had some kiple chance.
But anyway, we were in the hood and so I remember. So it is ridiculous when you think about it that he didn't have any there were black folks who did rock music or music that wasn't or pop music. I mean it's like you just you just they wouldn't play them. But you have to also remember, and some of you guys remember this two I just go to Tower Records or Sam Goody or any of those places, and they had rock pop. They didn't have a black section or R and B and black.
I'm saying, that's how that's how used to was. And I'm making this shit up. That's how used to was. I was there. So when you think back to how it was like there were no blacks played in certain spaces. You're like, what um and David Bowie and Mick Jagger rather than love Tina, Tina was the bomb they saw, they saw me. And I say this all the time. It just takes someone to believe in
your talents to help you out. I always praise the folks who believe in my talents, who are who are above me, who include me in things. And I tried you the same that people who are who I may be a little ahead of them. You say, it's that whole village just you. You help each other. So Darren Bowie was a really good about that. Yeah. Yeah, And now now they're together, Um so yes. But at that documentary Bradley I thought was it was different. I thought everything
about her this was very different. That's a BT camera. Well, I mean before that they ended up playing Michael Jackson. So before BT came on, they did. They did because Warner Brothers said they would not play any artists if they would pull all their arts out. They didn't play Michael Jackson. So they did play Michael. Then Prince came on, then Donna Summer and then then a few others they started do that. I just watched the
Donna Summer documentary. Max and Donna Summer was when the first was the first black woman played on MTV, which I didn't know that part for she worked hard for the money, so hard for it, honey. Um, So they did and then BT came, The BAT came later. I won BAT started also. Donnie Simpson was my man watching the show. They came later and that was a hall the other's genre and everything there but I but first they played Michael. They played Michael and Prince and and Donna and some early
Dina Ross. They started playing some getting him there but yeah, and then they went from there, but they had to Danna threaten. They said, we'll pull everybody if you don't play Michael Jackson. As I am there you have it and arrested. The rest is history. Then the two got really black at some point. It was like it was like the Black Network. So there you have it. So but it's funny the evolution because I mean, for the run. DMC's first album was rock. It was rock and
rap before that was even a thing. Can you have rock? And all those were basically we're basically there are raps or rock records. It's like hello, but I was like eighty one eight two. They weren't playing rap unless it was Rapture by Blondie, which I love. But again she said, just a weird, just a thought that we were we were, we were. We had segregating music folks, and it wasn't that long ago. The
eighties busted wide open. That's why I love being from the eighties. I'm a seventies kid, but I'm an eighties teenager young adults, and I love that because all music was just everywhere, everywhere. And when Tina came, I remember saying, Let's stay together. That was the first sole comebacks, and I love that. Let's played the Acid Queen and Tommy. I know, I've watched Tommy like twenty times, so I know Tommy, and but she played with she Let's get together game and then and then of course let's
love. We have to do with it. But my favorite, my favorite song of hers from that album's Private Dancer Dancer for a money? Do you what you want me to do? That's that's that's just that song is so sad, and I love the music and it's her vocal and the video. Oh, I just I just that's just my favorite songs. I'm very good to Me another one, I liked You, I liked you well. Let's love got to It's So ubiquitous was a huge hit. Of course, was great. But there's the other guys. She did a version of nine.
She did version of David Boy's ninete eighty four in that album. It was really good. Her version I Can't Stand the Rain is really good. That album was a huge hit. Album was really good. I played, I bought the album. I played it to death right here in this house. I was fifteen years old in my in my dining room on that stereo that I still have, and I played her album to death. I was, I was a fan. And then It's only Love my one of my favorites,
um, my favorite James Bond songs. It is her as Golden Eye, I love. We don't need another. He wrote that song in my Bomb, Oh my God for his songs the Thunderdome to Wait, Auntie Entity, mad Macs, Beyond Thunderdome to the Bomb, so you know, And I was playing her a song with Barry White, my other favorite artists. They're in heaven together. There's song in my wildest dreams that if you ever heard a song, go get it in that runch I played for my sister.
It's a beautiful song and both their voices just worked so well together. It's a little unknown gem that I liked and stuff. So yes, I have some beautiful prince from her that a friend gave to me to hold on to him when I would get them frames and I have them. Thank you flow boys, I thank low for the one ninety nine Golden Eye. I
know floo and I have the um James Bond theme. Love Well. We have many things in common, but that's one of the things we have in common is the Tina is the is, the is the the James Bond themes. And Golden Eye is a good one. Golden Eye is a really good one. If basically had a flobo, it's a it's a really good one. So she's up to a challenge. Hi, Danny, we're celebrating Tina Turner, the late Tina Turner. I imagine myself as Tina Turner many times
my life. So but she think about the thing about Tina, that she was older in this business much respect, looked great. I like to think that that she was my model for me just like coming into this business later in my life and say I'm gonna try it. Um. She showed me that you don't have to stop at twenty five or thirty and that's it, that you can start in your late thirties early forties and actually have a career. So and sometimes you gotta see, you gotta see it. Sometimes you
gotta see it in front of you to see if it's anything. And I just watching following her, I saw it. So she was a big inspiration for me completely and I could dance. So that's so. Yeah. The boy, Well, that's the Bond songs our whole other story. Um, verything and there's there's Speedy Eies is great. Yes, um you know I I there are a couple of Bond songs that I got sneeze looks the light, excuse me? Um, the Bond songs. There are a couple of
Bond songs that I got into. Later I was like, that's not okay, I don't know like that one, and then later listens go into them like Chris Cornell, you know my name. I love that song now. I was was one of my least favorites at first, but I like it. The theme song with Jack White a Lesia Keys. I actually liked that one, Thank you Matt. She liked that one more as later as I call is. I'm a huge fan of the oldies. Of course she only
lived twice in gold Finger. Jolly Bastard of course wins all of it and the most. But of course the eighties. I love a Future of Killed, but the Living Daylights by Aha. I was not a Twmithy Dalton, James Brown, James Bond fan, but the theme songs like why she liked him and that License to Kill song with Gladys Knight. She liked the song. Those songs kind of rum me later. Um, but of course the class I love Garbage is the World. The World is not enough that song,
And of course Cheryl Crowe Tomorrow Never Dies. Um. I love Skyfall and I do love Billy Honis's There's just No Time to Die. To me, they're they're in the spirit of what the I guess I like big lush productions for James Bond, themes. I fall for those more like a like a gold Finger. Um, and uh, what's the other one? Diamonds Are Forever, which probably is my favorite. Diamonds Are Forever it's probably my favorite James Bond themes. That's why think I never ranked them before him solo,
Which one's your favorite? For your eyes only? Is a good one too, Radley, that's me. That's it. For your eyes only, I see what I can see for your eyes only. That's a good one. That's a good one too. Well, that's that's that's a that's a very good one. I said, somebody eighties ones. We're good. They were good. They're good. They're good. There's only a fewels like, but most of most of my I do. I like them. Um, there's some good ones. Well, Shea Easton, who later was like Comingside
by sugar Walls. Okay, girl, thanks Prince, I don't flow of Salon here, but if he doesn't talk what it's his favorite? Um, James Bond team. Because we talked James Bond, I remember what we said if we ranked them. I think we've talked about them, but I don't think we've ever like so, Okay, it's my favorite one. Same with same with Tina Turner songs. I mean my favorite tier turn song. I
like two people. I like what you see is what you get. I like what you give is what you see I like, um, there's somebody tia ter songs like too. I don't know what's just my favorite. I mean it was probably Private Dancer. They Private Dancer is my all time favorite. It's prior to Yes, Yes she will be Yes. I ain't Prior Dancer my favorite. And then probably we don't need another hero Thunderdome I number two and your wild streams I get do a little top five. I think
with the other ones. It's only love with Brian Adams A good song. Um, there is a bunch of good songs. Better be good to me the best. I mean, there's just so many like typical male, but the tipic called male, the tippicicle. All I want is some female track, some male attractions. She was good, she was. I'm butchering her songs, of course, but she wouldn't mind. She doesn't care. She knows that we're trying to celebrate her. I just watched all the legends comment
like sharing calm or I care here all commenting. I mean, she's so she just she was. She was somebody was admired so much by everyone and likes it by everybody. You know that doesn't have him very often and again coming out of controversial times. That's what's so, that's what's so amazing. And she came out of controversial times. But she's just a legend. She just she's somebody that just ma Hadsen's and she was eight three years old. So she lived life. She lived life. It was on her terms.
She had her Buddhism, she had her younger man, she had her family, she had her friends, she had Switzerland. She was doing just fine. She had her hits and she was. She retired. She retired. That was it. There was no looking back. She was like, I'm good to go. She'd be a grandmother and great grandmother, do what she can do. She was good to go, and that's that's admirable. You do your job and you walk away like okay, now I'm done. You know um, I said, very few artists affect me, and she's one
of them. There's some others that they go and I'm like, you're sad, but there's few that really affect me. Octopusy, that's a fight. Roger Moore was my favorite Sean Connery of all of them, but Roger Moore is a close second. And I liked uh and I liked Pierce Brosnan. I don't probably him and I like almost said Craig David. That's a singer. That's a singer. Um his name uh was considered around on them. I liked him too. He was pretty good. Um, but I'm I'm
a huge I'm a huge Sean Connery one. But Roger Moore was very good. I know it son Timothy Moore, I interviewed him years ago. Timothy Moore is hilarious, a very nice guy, very hilarious. So yes, of course there's George last. But you can't forget him from you. Only when you only die twice, only lived twice, you only live twice from as Sinatra love that theme song, very late six, very sixties. Yes,
so yeah so she yes, So that's fine. But I saw I sawked to push in the theater every time my friend Taran I used to go see all the James Bonds. When you come out, we would go see them. Um, the last couple I saw what I saw it on. I saw him on TV because of COVID. Let me going on. Yes, I'd like to James Bond, the Broccoli family, like the James Bond stuff. So I I just loved I just love it all. But yeah, she was. She was Tina was something else. She just she just
lived her life on her term. She had her she had her Buddhism, she believed, she believed. She was like, I'm gonna try to create something in the world, and she did. So we have to just all hail to you, miss Tina. We're doing that. So I'm gonna go. I just want to come on a little bit, just say something, a little few words. We love you, Tia Turner. We're going to miss you. We have your music, of your legacy, we have your book, your movie. We we can we can totally just continue only playing
her for the next couple of days. And I'm just I'm just I'm very proud of her. And then she lived on this earth and gave us a great legacy. That's what's so wonderful about her. Everyone.
