I went out with a girl in high school who looked exactly like the “before Twinkies” picture. Still get the hots when I think of her.

[Home-of-the-lazy-dog]

She’s “no good, no good, no good, baby she’s nooooooooo goood!

[DoodleDawg]

You have to admit that was a pretty good come-back.

[elcid1970]

I never liked her 1968 hit where the entire song is justifying her breakup in that screechy voice that goes on & on. How many times do you say goodbye?

A chick tells me it’s over & I rise, say “Have a nice day”, turn on my heel & walk away without looking back. Not going to have my time wasted being told why.

And I don’t take lessons in morals from aging Hollywood cokeheads.

If she hadn't been able to sing others' songs, she'd have been washed up as a table dancer 45 years ago.

Low class Linda

[faucetman]

I USED TO love Linda, but then she went swing/big band, got FAT, and lost her voice.

To find out that she is also a mindless liberal doesn’t surprise me.

SHUT UP AND SING, but in this case, just SHUT UP!

[Bonemaker]

I have a few of those enshrined in my memory too.

“A chick tells me it’s over & I rise, say “Have a nice day”, turn on my heel & walk away without looking back. Not going to have my time wasted being told why.”

You sound like me. If a woman I was dating dumped me or would not go out with me I moved on and never looked back. I never asked them twice for a date if she said no the first time. I refuse to grovel or beg. I’m independent. Why I am self employed.

[setter]

“I may be in the minority, but as a songstress she is somewhat overrated. IMHO.”

My small town local radio station played her songs non stop back in the late 70’s. To this day I can’t stand any of her songs no matter how good they may be.

[minnesota_bound]

She also yelled or wailed like a cat when singing or so it seemed to me.

[GSWarrior]

I give her credit for good taste in choosing what songs to record.

[Vision]

Just searched it, Linda Ronstadt looks terrible. Shocking. She should not be giving advice to anyone.

Linda Ronstadt can no longer sing due to Parkinson’s disease. Singer Linda Ronstadt is losing her voice to Parkinson’s disease. The crooner, 72, revealed that her voice started to go as early as 2000, though she didn’t reveal her Parkinson’s diagnosis to the world until 2013 and didn’t stop performing until 2009.Feb 4, 2019

My late mother who studied and sang opera, was a classically trained pianist and also sang with a few local big bands on the radio in the early 40’s, and hated pretty much all the rock and pop music I liked back in the late 70’s and early 80’s when I was still living at home.

But one day I was playing Linda Ronstadt greatest hits on my new stereo, IIRC it was the song Blue Bayou and she heard it and asked who that singer was. I told her and she had never heard of her before but that she had a wonderful voice, that she had an amazing range and very good vocal control, quite a high praise coming from my mother who knew good singers from bad.

Years later I bought her the Linda Ronstadt Nelson Riddle album “Lush Life” and she loved it. My mother also loved the Gloria Estefan album - Mi Tierra, Estefan being some else who she recognized as having a terrific singing voice (and she loved Cuban jazz/big band music).

I’m sure my mom would have hated Linda Ronstadt’s politics and her personal life choices but she knew a great talent when she heard it.

As for Linda Ronstadt’s appearance, she’s 72 years old and she has Parkinson’s.

I think it’s all fine and well to criticize her for her politics but attacking her because she no longer looks like her 20 something year old self? I wish I at 59 years old that I still looked like my 21-year-old self. And I wish I had inherited my mother’s singing voice. No. Instead I inherited my father’s carpentry skills. But I can, like my mother cook and bake so it’s all good :)

[enraged]

Funny. My wife wanted to remodel our kitchen. She said it looked too 70s. I said so do I but you still love me. We now have a new kitchen.

[Impy]

What was Pompeo doing at that crap show? Shouldn’t have dignified it with his presence.

[Clemenza]

I misread the headline and almost lost all respect for Mr. Pompeo, as there are certain holes that bring nobody glory.

I can't do any of it :(

But I CAN shop. :)
