    Looking up the list to find a dumb pun to use (and I didn't find one worth using), I was surprised to find out that Tina's ass-whip song "The Best" only peaked at No. 15.

    One story credited him with having the first authentic rock and roll song.
    Back in the 50s. Can't even remember the name.
    Gotta go back and look at the story I read today.
    But if he did, then that's worth noting.

    Back when Letterman was on NBC and he used to do his bookmobile, he had a title one night by Ike Turner called "Womens Be Thinkin' Too Much".

    I don't think it's too funny. Pretty classless, if you ask me.

    I know he beat her and should burn in hell. Despicable human. Absolutely. But a legend, at the same time.

    Dude, um, HE BEAT HIS WIFE. I don't care if he came over to Tina's house once a week to mow heryard and touch-up any paint chipping off the doors, pretty hard for something like that to go away. I'm pretty sure a headline isn't the worst thing ever.

    Probably why it's been noted in this thread twice already.

    How two worlds collide.

    Showed the headline to my college communications colleagues: several were offended.

    Went to a going away party tonight for onr of the guys with whom I worked at the Sun: 'that's fucking brilliant' and 'I wish I had written that.'
