I love the AP.

“She just _won’t stop singing_—we’ve tried sedating her, we’ve tried duct tape over her mouth, hitting her on the head with a blunt instrument. I mean, the neighbors are starting to complain, and the dog is hiding under the piano, whimpering to itself!”

Did it say that she would tour again?  
I thought that she retired from touring.

I saw her in her last tour and the show was amazing. At that time she was 62 and had a giant video screen behind the stage. When she danced they showed her legs on the video screen. Them legs didn’t look a day over 25. I don’t think that a “normal” person could keep up with her for 20 minutes and she danced around singing for at least 90.

Is she still affecting that weird British/French/Rasta accent? The last time I heard I wanted to yell at the screen - “Come off it! You’re Annie Mae Bullock from Nutbush - what’s with the accent?”

You’re right, though, Bubba - her legs are still incredible.

OMG. That headline is freakin’ hilarious!

“For the love of Pete, Tina! Just give it a rest will ya?”

Seriously, happy birthday to Tina, she’s wonderful and all… but LMAO!
