American music icon Tina Turner has died at age 83

Sad news indeed. Hard life she had. What a true legend and icon, really. Mad respect for her.
She did amazing with what she had to work with. I'd call that winning, even for all of the crap she went through. That's why I said she had a good run. She made the most of it.
There's smoke in my iris But I painted a sunny day on the insides of my eyelids So I'm ready now (What you ready for?) I'm ready for life in this city And my wings have grown almost enough to lift me

Real question: Should not be "despite" instead of "even" in that sentence? Or am I understanding you wrong?

I agree. I am reading that she renounced her U.S. citizenship and finished her last years in Switzerland with her 2nd husband. Interesting. :thumbsup:

A good run, a life lived pretty fully by any estimation. She'll be missed by a lot of people. :rose:

"despite X" is probably the more common way of saying it "even for all of X" works too.

In an interview with Marie Claire South Africa in 2018, Turner said: "People think my life has been tough, but I think it's been a wonderful journey. The older you get, the more you realise it's not what happened, it's how you deal with it."

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, but it works if you pick it apart. :) I'm making a mental note of it to not use it here now, because we have a lot of people who speak English as a second language here, and I try to be mindful of that, but my writing style doesn't really lend itself to being easily accessible to everyone. :(

If someone reads you and doesn't understand you, but doesn't ask as I did... it is not your problem.

I understand what you're saying. I'm descriptivist though, and at the end of the day part of that means I feel it's my job to convey what I mean to my audience, and if they didn't understand it, then *I* can do better.

Very much missed, indeed! I will never forget her performance as The Acid Queen in "Tommy: A Rock Opera." May she be, at long last, at peace. :rose:
Will Rogers never met me.
