What's age got to do with it.....??

She is Anna Mae Bullock, born on November 26, 1939. She is famously known as Tina Turner.

This year, she will be 70 years old. Appearing in Oprah's show, she said..."you don't mind being 68. Number doesn't mean a thing".

And she is right. The number is all in the head, written down in age column, and more so, how people are led to perceive (based on society's norms) how a particular age should behave. Even more so, when we are in this part of the world.

When you read about Tina's life storybook, she is a survivor. Somebody you want to look up to....a mentor. An inspiration when you are feeling down. Abusive marriage life, unsuccessful music career paths, picking up the pieces and move on. And as age progresses on, things just get better and better. That's what life should be.

If you can, get a copy of one of her concerts, especially her concerts in her prime age years. I picked up "One Last Time Live in Concert in Wembley in 2000". She was at 61 year. The show was electric and her performance was mind blowing. I know I was breathless seeing her throughout the 2 hours plus show. Simply the best.
