Linda Ronstadt is 79 today, a local "conservative" radio talk show host, Mark Davis, basically spewed 3 hours of verbal masturbation about how great she was during his show.

I'm a late boomer and found her voice annoying, flame away.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Yes, she is very annoying. Too bad she's no longer mute.

[wjcsux]

One of my friends grew up with her, he said that she’s a mean little bitch.

[bigbob]

Annoying - no, women who upspeak are annoying. Jessica Tarlov’s voice is ANNOYING. I don’t care for Linda’s politics but I’m one who doesn’t require 100% ideological compliance to appreciate someone’s talent.

You want annoying AND no talent? Two words: Bruce. Springsteen.

[NautiNurse]

Good news that Ronstadt is regaining her voice as she recovers. Hope she is able to attend her HS reunion.

I’m thinking it wasn’t the coof.

[montag813]

Yes Linda was always annoying, but we have one thing for which to thank her.

She personally chose her backing bands, and on her second tour she hired Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner, who then formed The Eagles.

Michael Moore fangrrrl.
Shut up and sing.
Oh. You can’t.

[9YearLurker]

Always loved her. DB, you must have tin cans for ears.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

Hey, no flame from me. I love her 60s-70s voice but that’s the beauty of individual taste.

[alstewartfan]

I hated when Davis filled in for Rush.

[Behind Liberal Lines]

COVID? Sure, totally that and not the Progressive supranuclear palsy she’s suffered with for years. /sarc

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

I always thought she had a great, powerful voice. And her songs were nice to listen to.

But when she spoke about politics, I really wished she would shut up

[xp38]

Saw her in concert once at the height of her fame in the late 70s and also on Broadway in the Pirates of Penzance. In her concert it was straight up music and no politics. Over the years it became obvious she was a leftist loon from interviews etc. If she was doing concerts today I and many here would be her target audience but the chances I would go see her today would be zero.

[nwrep]

LOL. Tucson icon.

[Skooz]

Is this a good thing?

[stanne]

She chose great songs and she was a great singer

Her biopic is interesting explaining how she developed her voice

It stays away from her politics

I don’t listen to people who grab the mic and spew their uninformed uneducated views when the reason they have the mic is to shut up and sing

The media uses these idiots to promote their views. Tge celebs do it to sell records. I won’t buy her records for that reason

But she was a great singer

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I always thought Linda Ronstadt was a good singer, though it seemed to me that she only ever did songs that other artists had already made into hits.

[1Old Pro]

Linda has become famous for one thing, A GOLF saying:

You hit your drive and the other person steps up and hits and exclaims “That’s a Linda Ronstadt”.

You say what, huh?

He responds: Blue Bayou

[nesnah]

I would imagine Linda sang into a lot of “microphones” in her younger years.

[BigFreakinToad]

So thats where Mark Davis ended up. I thought she had a nice smooth voice, but hey, to each there own.
