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."

What's her name? Oh yea, I forgot it's Linda Roundostadt. MnM and Roundostadt, would make a great couple, like shill and hill. Bush/Cheney 2004
ended up like this
Maybe it's just her inner ugly bubbling to the surface and being denied release by the rubbery skin.
back to the top
Okay! Lets try this phrase with a few other groups.
It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Black or a Jew. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."
It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a gay or lesbian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."
It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a latino or muslim. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."
Any guesses as to how the comment would be reported????
That statement just about made me lose my lunch! I hope everyone will stop supporting these "artists" who mistakenly believe they are the mainstream.
Linda, YOU are a moron!
Tool
If your plumber starts talking politics I would run...
I think she ATE Aaron Neville!
Now I really hate her.
Cassette and Album smashing time. I will do it this week and post photos. Will you join me?

ONE OF MANY POSTED TO HER ELEKTRA RECORDS MESSAGE BOARD:
LINDA: "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."
ME: Dear Linda. As a pro Nashville writer and musician, I'd have to say
that one doesn't show their rear end to the audience. And your ignorance is no excuse for your utter stupidity.
It is record smashing time for your recordings.
Goodbye. Forever.
Just another old hippie trying to resuscitate her singing career
Well, I can relate. When I find out a performer is a liberal (ala Barbara Streisand, Whoopie, Robin Williams) it diminishes my ability to enjoy their performance.
I don't see the problem. Republicans and christians don't want to hear that fat lady sing anyway.
It begs the question: What percentage of her income from selling albums, appearances, etc, came from the discretionary income of Rebublicans and Christians???
She didn't ask for a litmus test when selling concert tickets and records and tapes. Does she actually think that ALL of her ENTIRE fan base all these years were just unwashed hippie Liberals??? Is she that stupid? Or did Jerry Brown suck all her brains out trying to prove he could be a passionate heterosexual??? She's a real piece of work.....
Oh Well, another wad of CD's and tapes on the way to the crapper and another name for my personal $hit list....
Why not give them to the local Hospice store or Salvation Army? That way Linda WILL NOT get ANY royalties from the "resale". Or find a local school flea market and donate to that. In any event, find a way to keep her from getting royalties.
She only has access to TV and she eats up every word that any liberal happens to be telling her.
She is as much a prisoner of new information as the entire population of many third world countries, like North Korea. ALL the radios are tuned to only pick up the official Country controlled stations. She is putting herself into the same boat. She needs to listen to Dr Phil and find out about being responsible for her actions.
Nope, I wouldnt want to inflict her screeching on anyone.
Besides it's too late.
Took them out to the patio and did a number on them with a 9 pound sledge.
Only small pieces left and they are in the garbage can.....
