Ike Turner's passed on to the other side -- a salute to "Rocket 88" and his rough and tumble career. And to Tina Turner's TNT, for that matter, and to Led Zeppelin's resurrection. It's TNT -- it's Dyn-O-Mite!
Also, a salute to Frank Sinatra, birthday dude (1915-1998), here with Ava Gardner -- quite a couple while they lasted.
Happy birthday to Regina Hall, too -- among the living (37 today).
And to Jennifer Connelly, here with a haunting look and also 37.
And finally, happy birthday to Mädchen Amick of Twin Peaks and beyond, 38.
Today's Rune: Flow. Yesterday's: Fertility.
Happy Feast Day of Our Lady of Guadalupe! The weekend is almost upon us!

Shows that even wife-beaters can make good music. I used to think "That's All Right" was the first rock and roll song until I heard Rocket 88.
And it's still Sinatra's world.
Lana was telling me about Ike's passing last night. I've never really cared that much for his music but I know he was a big influence on many.
Jennifer Connelly! Ack, it's "Requiem for a Dream" all over again! I'd just finally gotten that out of my head!
Great find with that "Rocket 88" video. I just saw "Blood Diamond" on HBO with Jennifer Connelly. Good film.
