Diva Canon #8: TINA TURNER

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

It's Friday, it's time for another canon! And who more deserving than our enormo-haired leggy warbler Anna Mae Bullock? Not a diva in the traditional screaming-toddler sense perhaps, but most definitely an icon worthy of a ticky box or two.

TINAFAX:

Tina's hair fell out after she bleached it too much as a teenager. Thankfully Mr Wig invented the wig the next day and Tina became a massive superstar!

Tina has sold nearly 100 million records.

Tina was the oldest person to get a US #1 hit but her record was subsequently broken by Aerosmith and Cher (not at the same time).

Tina loves Steps' version of Tragedy (see picture)

Tina's voice can cut through a block of Stilton at 20 paces.

notable incursion of t turner into STREET CULTURE

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

one of my favourite pieces of graffiti in London is the following scribbling in Dalston:

"tony romanoff
is
ike and tina turner"

...what, both of them?

I saw a graffito mentioning tony r too. something like:
60s Beatles 70s (whoever) 80s U2 90s (whoever) 00s tony romanoff
It's probably a viral marketing campaign - pay it no heed.

I thought 'Ike And Tina Turner' was some sort of rhyming slang I wasn't au fait with.

Is au fait the right phrase there? I almost typed out 'ofay'. I have never used that phrase in writing or seen it written down.
