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."

More evidence that were not in the 70's anymore


Yep! Now she's just a fat, useless, washed up ol' coke head!


Word is she did so much coke in the 80's that was you see on her face is not even her real nose anymore...

Isn't she a heroin addict from years ago? I thought I read about that.

From the looks of her these days, heroin doesn't seem to be a problem.

Yep! Now she's just a fat, useless, washed up ol' coke head!

There's hope she could still sing.

Let me get this straight: she thinks we should impeach Bush because "I'm not conservative"? And she's having trouble convincing others that her dislike for the guy is grounds for impeachment? I feel her pain.

Thanks!

You're over the hill, Linda baby.

My momory must be hazy. I can't find anything about it on Google.

For a second I thought it was Candy Crowley.

Maybe Candy Crowley was cute once. (Then again, nah!)

[cajun-jack]

Damn!!! she must be preparing to play Mama Cass in an upcoming movie???

[dagoofyfoot]

It really is quite shocking, she needs Carnie Wilson stomach surgery




Here's one of her with Jerry Brown...

Now sabertooths comment makes sense.

Thank you, and I really didn't need that little piece of info

She also sang at the First Step Coffehouse on Campbell ave. in 1963. Which (IIRC) was the actor Allan Fudge's first venture in life; he was a folkie. She sang barefoot, which was, as you say, sorta "original hippy" stuff at the time...considered very risque...

Re your photo of Big Lindy: Wow, she's all grown up... and grown up all over. That's one great big stoned pony!

No debbie harry, who did pose for playboy, for a lot less than a million bucks, also at one time a bunny.

"I don't think so. I was always under the impression they were using each other for cover. I'm almost certain that Linda would be more comfortable being Rosie's old lady."

Naaa. I remember about ten years ago she was hooked for awhile with George Lucas.

Perhaps nowadays, however. Now that Linda's going back for seconds at the buffet they do look more alike.

I am shattered the last time I saw her was at the electric underground in chicago, not telling what year.
