Congratulations to Tina Turner: last Monday, she was handed her Swiss Passport. Having lived in Switzerland for over 15 years, she is now an official citizen of the country. Newspaper Blick reports that on April 22, she visited the Swiss passport bureau in Zürich together with husband-to-be Erwin Bach. Formalities, including taking a photo, took about 15 minutes. Before being able to apply for the passport, Tina had to take a citizenship test and learn the German language. We wish Tina a lot of happiness in her life as ‘Schweizerin’!

While you’re at it, Tina, consider getting a Conch Republic passport the next time you’re in the Key West, Florida area. You’ve been here before – right? – in your “Ike and Tina” days? In fact, I’ve heard that you used Key West style cabdriver hospitality to get away from Ike for a while, and party!
The ex-cabdriver involved told me you were insistent that Ike never find out and that you swore him to secrecy. (Apparently he felt that, with Ike gone, he was no longer bound not to talk about your adventure.)
Of course, he might have been making it all up. Was he, Tina?

Who’s the driver of the car in the picture with Tina?

I think that is her Swiss friend Regula Curti, married wit the publisher Beat Curti. But not 100 % sure. They met Tina originally, because they lived in that lake villa before and Tina invited them for a dinner to find out more about the house. The two ladies got along well and became friends. I believe the Rolls-Royce Drophead belongs to Tina though. Tina likes it in Switzerland, because it is unpopular to disturb prominent people in their private life. We fortunately also have not these regular paparazzi gangs. I passed her personally walking in Zürich once, while she was shopping, gave her just a smile and a “Hi, Tina!”. I got a smile and hi back. My sister sold her clothing in a store once and was one hour with her alone and not even asked for an autograph. It would have been impolite. She is very down to earth, no diva, just a great lady and everybody loves her. Now, we are very proud she became Swiss and choose us as her home.

Hi, thanks for your comment. Regula Curti is indeed Beat Curti’s wife. And as far as privacy is concerned, i think that it is exactly what she likes about your country, Switzerland, that your privacy is respected! Until the day you get married… 😉
