More evidence that we aren't in the 70s anymore.

1970's songbird Linda Ronstadt, best known for her torch song-style and mellow ballads, is working overtime these days trying to persuade her fellow Arizonans that it's time to dump President Bush "right away."
In an interview broadcast on Saturday, Ronstadt was in the middle of explaining to WABC Radio's Mark Simone why she prefers living in Arizona to Los Angeles or New York, when she added one caveat.
"The politics are very conservative here and I'm not conservative. I'm having a hard time sometimes convincing people that we need to vote for a new president," she offered.
When Simone begged to differ, the singer insisted, "We need a different president right away, I think. I think we should impeach this one [rather than wait for] the next election."
Asked if she could support Sen. John Kerry despite his admission that he committed war crimes in Vietnam, Ronstadt told Simone, "I don't know about that? He might be a little more understanding of what these guys [U.S. GIs in Iraq] are going through."

Didn't she used to be Jerry Brown's old lady?
That's just sad. She used to be kinda cute.
Ut Oh is this Rosey Odonald ?
....A bit moonbeamish herself, if you ask me.
More evidence that we aren't in the 70s anymore.
When has she ever? I think one with "You`re no good" which is fitting for her.
"I don't know about that? He might be a little more understanding of what these guys [U.S. GIs in Iraq] are going through."
Maybe she would have a little more understanding of what the common person is going through if she hadn't been so well off and successful herself.
A vote for the democratic party is a vote for a socialists who want only two classes of people; those who are well off in a ruling class and the rest in a peasant under class where nobody succeeds on the merit of their hard work. For the upwardly mobile middle class, democratic pandering tax dollars offers no future.
Hey this topic might even make a great song, perhaps she needs to take notes here, cause she does have a good voice !
There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Where's she doing gigs these days, some third tier casino in Wendover, NV?

Yeah, He can understand their plight. After all, he served a 4 month tour 30 some years ago on a boat.
Listing of her Gigs are at the Web Site I posted.
Looks like shes up in the North East the End of May.
My neck of the woods
Another 'sad ole hasbeen' trying to kickstart a career by bashing the president! The 60's are over hippy!
Wow!! I haven't seen a photo of her in years. Looks like she has packed away a few hunred doughnuts since she last surfaced.
At risk of showing my age, I can recall when she sang at the Minus One Coffehouse on Sixth Street in Tucson, AZ. She was the "original Hippy" (Ie. pre 1964) at Tucson's Catalina High School. Her father owned a great harware/farm supply store in downtown Tucson and was an earlyday Mexican/American merchant, selling a lot into Sonora, Mexico. The last Album she had that was good was Canciones de mi Padre -- old Rancheria from Sonora. My take is "Music good, Politics predictable based on career."
Dear Linda,
Go eat a quart of ice cream and shut the F--K UP!
