The real deal
Linda Ronstadt's current tour – 'a history lesson of music' – reflects her dedication to authenticity, and quality By George Varga July 15, 2004 Other singers may have a greater passion for music than Linda Ronstadt. But few have a greater passion for more types of music, or the willingness to perform them, even at the risk of falling on her face.
"My career has befuddled other people, and it's befuddled me," admitted Ronstadt, 58, who finds her fans are polarized by her nightly on-stage salute to "Fahrenheit 9/11" filmmaker Michael Moore.
"I've been dedicating a song to him – I think he's a great patriot – and it splits the audience down the middle, and they duke it out," she said.
"This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."
"I saw a movie recently about a camel and these people in Mongolia, and I relate to them better than people here in this country. It looks like (Germany's) Weimar Republic to me here."

Linda Ronstadt was quoted as saying in that she feels uncomfortable performing for Christians and Republicans."
Beginning to Sound like another aider and abetter!!!!
Maybe she prefers to be with the likes of Castro, Il, The Mullas, Hussein, and Laden, shroeder and Chirac or Kofi.
....... Is there enough fabric to make a burqua for Ronstadts Extra large proportions? Cause a burqua is where's she's headed with her anti-christian stance. Silly twit
Maybe if we get government health-care,
she could have her eyeballs transplanted to her throat.
She might actually see a couple as they slide by! (:-P)
"She has a bad case of "Broken Moral Compass". "
If your compass was in your back pocket with her lard azz on top it would be broken too. Pity the poor slob, she must be experiencing a severe drop in her blood sugar level.

Maybe we could wrap the burqua around her(rondstadt) all the way from the neck up, then we could here her muffle away her thoughts, hehe.
Poor Linda, I wonder if she will start carding folks coming to hear her sing for their affiliations.
I just do not understand these "Artists" in Hollywood.
It is a Capitalist system that enables them to have the kind of success in this country they would not have anywhere else in the world and yet the would rather support a Party and individuals that are working to deny real success to everyone else and tax them to death for being so.
Unreal!!!!!!!!!!
Is she so completely self-centered that she can't figure out the THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LISTENING TO HER FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME WAY ABOUT HER SPOUTING HER POLITICS? AND THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE PAYING TO HEAR HER.
Well you'd have to realize Ronstadt and her leftist group think have the logic of a gnat and their rationalization is about as exciting as an elephant giving birth to a flea.
If I'm performing for an audience and someone out there is a camel or a Mongolian, I don't really want to know about it either.
I didn't........... don't.......... and won't........ pay good money for people who have life styles or politics, I don't agree with!
I came to this belief after I came to know the Lord 30 + years ago.
That really comes into play on entertainment!!!!!!!!
I agree with your theory.
Then move there.
In the words of Derek Lowe, she's a mental gidget.
She only has access to TV and she eats up every word that any liberal happens to be telling her. She is totally debendant on Social Security and Medicare and believes it when liberals tell her that conservatives will take it from her. Meanwhile her conservative son-in-law, me, who doesn't even like her directs his church offering to her so that she can pay her bills. What-are-ya-gonna-do?
Geezy peets... If I was an entertainer, I wouldnt care if my audience had hard core leftist atheists and I was Christian, Im an entertainer and im supposed to shut up and sing.
She needs slapped with a hate crime! She subscribes to the "hate thought" line of thinking, why not?
Uh, maybe she should go to Tehran to perform. She'd look a lot better in a burqua.
sad.
and I was so looking forward to seeing her at
MARINE WORLD with Shamu in the Whale Show
I'm sure that all the centers for diversity and tolerance will immediately denounce her comments? Oh wait, she's bashing republicans and christians...they will remain silent.
