No Love for Ike


St. Louis Mayor, Francis Slay, will NOT proclaim September 2nd as "Ike Turner Day". Ike, along with Tina, were frequent performers in the St. Louis nightclubs.


However, Ike's abusive ways and problems with drugs deterred Slay from giving Ike Turner a special day.


Ike's response: "They don't know the man I know. This ain't 1962."


Poor Ike.
