But Jerry had Linda Ronstadt. That had to be worth a few votes!

Jerry and Linda used to hang out at Lucy's El Adobe, a Mexican restaurant in Los Angeles. Since it had good food, I would eat there periodically. They were unabashed as to their politics, and visitors could always find plenty of Democrat fliers along with the menus. When I finished eating, I would always ask if they were related to the El Adobe in San Juan Capistrano, and they would curtly reply, "no." The one in San Juan Capistrano was Richard Nixon's favorite restaurant and they are still proud of that.
