Tina Turner sang the song of the summer in 1984, and no matter where one went it seemed that her hit, What’s Love Got to Do With It ruled the airwaves.
Studly Doright and I were coaching a girls’ softball team that summer, and our all-star team had qualified for the regional tournament in Weatherford, Texas. On one of our off days, we took the girls to a water park in Arlington, Texas, where Tina’s hit seemed to be playing non-stop. Our son was tagging along on the trip and we couldn’t get enough of the tune.
The song begs the questions, “what’s love, but a second-hand emotion?” and “who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?” Both are fairly deep topics for a pop song. I can’t address the first question, but in regard to the second one, a heart is absolutely necessary to survival. Perhaps I’m being too literal, though.
It’s still a great song, even if we’re not sure of all the answers. Love’s like that, you know.
Peace, and love, people.

Tina Turner, a great woman, she was through the wringer a few times. overcame a difficult marriage, knew what it was like to be beaten, but her inner Spirit overcame it all, hang on she says, hope the day goes great for you

I love her so much. I listen to her sometimes when I write. I also love Private Dancer and Simply the Best (which just oozes with the love she finally found after all her problems…)…fantastic music. 🙂
