When rock & roll legend Tina Turner passed away yesterday, we in the Pencil Storm Compound felt collectively unqualified to pay the proper respect due, but at the same time obligated to not let such a monumental loss go unmentioned. In lieu of a plethora of routine and over-cited cut-and-pasted facts, please check out some of these great tributes.

ROLLING STONE REMEMBERS TINA TURNER

NEW YORK TIMES REMEMBERS TINA TURNER

In recent years I’ve come to appreciate some of the great stuff she did with Ike, but early on, and still my favorite moments are from the films made by my favorite bands – The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter (1970) and The Who – Tommy (1975).
