Indies bite back and RIP Ike Turner

The fall-out continues from the Rolling Stone cigarette ad masqueraded as a feature or vice versa. Now a coalition of indies has gone public in an open letter to the magazine about their anger over the incident.

Also, in the first part of any Ike Turner obit is his deplorable treatment of Tina Turner and while there’s no justifying that, it’s also ignorant to forget that despite what kind of horrible person he was, he did have an important impact on music as detailed in this BBC article/tribute.
