Roseanne interviews Ike Turner (1999)

Ike Turner discusses being known as the inventor of rock n' roll, drug use, his father's illness, the inaccurate portrayal of him in "What's Love Got to Do With It?," and Roseanne forcefully coerces an apology to ex-wife Tina Turner. He then performs "City Girl, Country Man" with the Ikettes (though the song is interrupted by an Oprah voice-over).

I rarely disable comments, but this one was becoming a royal hate-fest (half of the comments were aimed at Ike, half at Roseanne) and I'm tired of the regular notifications for everyone's venomous remarks.
