1986 rock autobiography
Answer:
ITINA
Hint:
Think of a legendary guitarist’s life story with a title that sounds like a Latin phrase for "it is."
Explanation:
This clue points to the autobiography of Tina Turner, titled I, Tina, published in 1986. The answer "ITINA" is a playful twist—it drops the comma and space, turning "I, Tina" into a single word. Rock fans would recognize this as her famous memoir, which later inspired the film What’s Love Got to Do with It. The year in the clue narrows it down to her iconic book.
