In the beginning, TBS Superstation was like SNL before SNL became a real thing. They had some guy working there that would be sitting at a desk with an ugly curtain behind him just giving the nightly news.

My papaw would tell me about Ted Turner owning the Braves and WTBS, I thought it was funny that the woman that sang “what’s love got to do with it” owned a baseball team.
I was very young and dumb back then...

GBO!!

Does anybody think the Braves can beat the Cubs in today's game that starts at 2:20 ET?

Tina Turner = you thought she was married to Ted?

All I knew was she lived in the mad max apocalypse, sung what’s love gotta do with it and owned the Atlanta Braves.

Yeah, you knew that was legit at the time.

I guess my young mind had no idea who Ted Turner was, so I equated it to Tina Turner, who I knew.

You do know (now) that she was born & raised in a little bump in the road called Nutbush which is right down the road from where I live (Jackson).

BOOM .... Braves's D'arnaud with a 3 run Blast ... w/two outs in the first inning.

Bob Seger and the silver bullet band on their LP Live bullet really knocked Nutbush City out of the park.

I ‘member..

Do you remember when the two big radio stations in the 70’s were both on AM: WNOX & WRJZ?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

The thing I heard years ago ... is Turner doesn't want anything to do w/Nutbush or where she was born & raised. I think she told Oprah that one time or it was in a magazine article.

When I was a little kid the radio station I listened to at night on my transistor was WLS FM out of Chicago. Popular DJ at the time was a guy named Dick Biondi. He was a Hoot.

I wasn’t aware of that but it’s easy to believe . She had a pretty tough upbringing .

No doubt! It must’ve been hard to part ways with Phil Neikro! And we won’t even get into the whole Chuck Tanner thing!

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

I had to go through Nutbush a couple of times years ago ... there's nothing there but cotton fields & an old barn sitting by the road. It's no wonder Tina Turner wants to forget that place.

The movie "The Sandlot" is on TV .... it's on your FXHD channel. Came on at 1:30 ET.
