The dramatic and spectacular story of an American music icon--the immortal Tina Turner!

From Nutbush, Tennessee, to Hollywood stardom; from Ike's Kings of Rhythm to onstage with Mick Jagger and the Stones; and from the lowest lows to the highest highs, Tina Turner has seen it, done it, suffered it, and survived it all. In her monumental bestseller "I, Tina"--the basis for the Academy Award-nominated motion picture "What's Love Got to Do with It"--she tells it like it really was . . . and really is. This book is a superstar's honest and intimate account of struggle and pain, love and abuse, glory and tragedy, and one of the greatest comebacks in music history.

The former Rolling Stone writer and MTV host takes off from classic Roger Ebert deep into the new millennial age

Millions grew up reading the author's record reviews and watching him on "MTV News" and "The Week in Rock." In this collection of his roughly 200 movie reviews from MTV.com and, most recently, "Reason" magazine online, plus sidebars exclusive to this volume, Loder demonstrates his characteristic wry voice and intelligent yet accessible observations. The author shines when writing on the best that Hollywood and indie filmmakers have to offer, and in the best tradition of film writing, his negative reviews are great, snarky fun. Cooler than Ebert and more readable than Pauline Kael, Loder's survey of the wild, the wonderful and the altogether otherwise, this is an indispensable book for any film buff.
