Between multiple interviews, a biopic and a broadway show, Tina Turner's story is well known.  But there's an HBO documentary about her and it confirms that she is the queen of rock-n-roll, the empress of resilience and the grand duchess of self-respect.

Tina Turner's appearance in 1985's Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome was her second movie appearance-- she had appeared in Tommy  ten years earlier.  While we think her outfit in that movie was chef's kiss mwah!, she revealed in an interview in 1988 that she felt her character Aunty Entity would have been more fierce if she had more practical clothing.

Her hit song recorded for the movie, "We Don't Need Another Hero," was written by the same team that wrote "What's Love Got to Do With It?"-- Terry Britten and Graham Lyle.  The song was a bridge between her albums Private Dancer and Break Every Rule.  It was nominated for a Golden Globe (losing to Lionel Richie) and a Grammy (losing to Whitney Houston).

We think maybe it was hampered by the goofy lyrics that reference the movie, tying it down!  We also think Mel Gibson is beyond icky and wish Tina hadn't been tainted by his garbage presence.  And yet she somehow continues to be. . . simply the best.

Give a listen and tell us what YOU think!!
