Or better yet, let them market the events as "Linda Ronstadt Sings her Favorites Songs Along With her Political Commentary".

At least then people won't be suckered into paying $50 to be insulted by loud mouthed, arrogant, elitist, idiotic dolts.

What would you say if Moore marketed his film as "A Jaunty Stroll Down Country Music Memory Lane"? To me, it's a bait and switch.

This isn't about Ronstadt, it's about every other performer who wishes to bait and switch their customers and use their events as a platform to engage in political activism.

I think the only venue that would rethink having her would be the Texas one. In any case, I'm finding it hard to take seriously the remarks of an old hippie whose singing career is on life support.

Gotcha, thanks for the explanation.

Personally, I believe the backlash is well underway against the Ronstadt's, Goldbergers, Sarandon, Dixie Chick type Bush Bashing.

I don't want them to shut up, I want them to keep doing exactly what they are doing. Its become counter productive in my opinion, helps our side of this.

Just my opinion.

I was very troubled to hear her say that the electorate had better get their heads out of their"mashed potatoes"(I spell it like the former Vice President),and find out about the issues!I'm sorry Linda,but if your idea of"Finding Out About The Issues"includes the fantasies of an America Hating Slob,I'm going back to my Mashed Potatoes!!!!!!!

Thanks. btw, I've read somewhere that cover featuring the DC's included body doubles.

LInda R. is making enemies and inciting people to the point that the concert venues may have to drop her on the grounds of being too volitle for a crowded place.

As a matter of fact we should all write to these venues for the remaining dates and any new ones and let them know our concerns.

Ops4 God Bless America!

She's playing on the pier? On a Tuesday night? Snicker. That's walking distance from my office... I'm sorely tempted...

Thanks, but I'm a little confused. You said "I don't want them to shut up, I want them to keep doing exactly what they are doing. Its become counter productive in my opinion, helps our side of this."

You say what they are doing has become counter productive, but how has that happened? It's happened because people finally stood up and said "enough is enough".

If people don't react to this kind of thing, the mushy head people in the middle, the ones who wait to find out what offends others before they decide what to be offended about (and unfortunately are the swing votes in elections), will believe it is AOK and those comments must reflect the general opinion of most people.

This is one reason why the left has been able to effectively propagandize for the last 40 years...too fewody stood up and expressed their own outrage.

LOL. That is the way you spell "potatoes." That's how they confused Quayle. They showed him a flash card with the plural, then asked him to spell the singular. Any proofreader knows that once you see something in print, it starts to look right even if it's wrong.

I'm glad you see it my way.

I won't be satisfied until she's doing backup for "Murph and the Magictones" at the Tucson Holiday Inn..
