The Most Electric

Tina Turner shimmying out for the first time at the beginning of her show, was the most electrifying person I have ever seen.

1996. I was twenty.

I've never seen another human being with such incandescence. If Jesus had half of what Tina had radiating out from with in, I could understand all the fuss.

I've never seen one person burn like that, before or since. And then she smiled and, quite simply, lit up the world. Never have I seen that aura before, that they say sometimes shines out of the great.

you should know that i intend on using "If Jesus had half of what she had radiating out from with in, I could understand all the fuss." - though i will quote you kindly...
