Rock icon Linda Ronstadt has maintained a low public profile since her diagnosis with a Parkinson’s-like degenerative disease more than 10 years ago, but she’s raising her voice once again to condemn Donald Trump and the “hate show” rally he intends to bring to the Tucson music venue named in the “You’re No Good” singer’s honor.
The Trump rally is set for this afternoon in what the Republican candidate’s website calls The Tucson Music Hall. Only it hasn’t been called that since 2022, when the venue was officially renamed the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.
"Donald Trump is holding a rally on Thursday in a rented hall in my hometown, Tucson,” Ronstadt writes in a new Instagram post (see it below). “I would prefer to ignore that sad fact. But since the building has my name on it, I need to say something. It saddens me to see the former President bring his hate show to Tucson, a town with deep Mexican-American roots and a joyful, tolerant spirit."

She had to modulate to a lower key to sing The Pirates of Penzance.
If she couldn’t sing it, she shouldn’t have.
I haven’t respected her as an artist since then, and now I don’t respect her as a human being.
She’s still alive?
I grew up in Tucson and went to the same HS (Catalina) as Linda. She graduated some years ahead of me, but one of her siblings was a classmate.
She was raised in a very well to do family - her Daddy owned Ronstadt’s Hardware.
Her g-grandmother is/was a Mexican - as in born and raised in Mexico, Linda spent many summers in Mexico spending time with her relatives. While Linda is of German decent, many do not realize just how large the German community is in Mexico.
Tucson does have deep ties with the Latino community on both sides of the border.
Now that she is both old and a ‘once was famous’ I write off this kind of diatribe as the equal of “get off my lawn”.
Nobody cares, Linda. Sorry
LOL!
She is merely another mouth breathing useless blatherer whose comments achieve nothing of significance.
Another washed up celeb using liberal politics for a bit more attention.
Shut up and sing if you still can
Linda has a crush on that disgusting bag of goo, Michael Moore.
That tells me all I need to know.
...doesn't affect those living on Primrose Lane, as such they should STFU.
The brain-fornicated derps that vote democrat/NEOCON reps....are voting FOR this destruction.
...they (and the deep state that continues to fornicate their brains) "should" be facing the wrath of patriots, but I wouldn't hold my breath on that one.
... because outside of "voting" no one seems to care to go "one step beyond"...whatEVER it'll take to stop...the insanity.
One of the dumbest people in show biz right there.
Those Mexican-Americans who are of the snowflake persuasion should just not go to the rally.
I used to love your music Linda, but now, just GFY. You are Dixie Chicking yourself.
I wonder if she has the fortitude to “go see the elephant” as they used to say.
While Linda is of German decent, many do not realize just how large the German community is in Mexico.
That’s why Mexican beers are good, the original brewers there were from Germany.
I’ll take Emmylou Harris over her any day.
Hate Show of Marxism
The original was by Dee Dee Warwick, but Ronstadt's cover was a copy of Betty Everrette's cover.

Thanks for the info. Dee Dee’s version was the only one of those 3 that didn’t hit the pop charts. I saw her as part of a rock ‘n roll show in NYC. Nice version of the song!
If my memory serves me correctly, she has had Parkinson's for some years now and can't sing...
