How do you go from "Since I'm not your everything, how about I'll be
nothing?" to having your husband, Jay Z, on your video from your new
album saying "I am Ike Turner, Eat the cake Anna Mae" -- a line from a
movie that clearly illustrates one of the most vicious wife beaters who
almost killed another amazing icon, Tina Turner. It's like in one
stroke she undermined Tina Turner's march toward victory and mocked it
saying that kind of domestic violence is alright.
My God, it's as if she turned back the clock 50 years in one moment.
