Undaunted after being booted off the stage by the Aladin Casino in Las Vegas for making pro-Michael Moore comments, the singer did an encore speech in a concert Sunday night, again igniting the audience.
'Half the crowd heartily applauded her praise for Moore, the other half booed,' reports the San Diego Tribune.
'In an instant, the outdoor venue on Shelter Island filled with a roar of cheers and jeers the grew to a near fever pitch.'
Rondstadt made a few other political references that evening as well.
She dedicated 'Straighten up and Fly Right' to the good folks at Enron who brought us the energy crisis.
She also poked fun at Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's 'girlie man' comments saying, 'What if you're a female legislator? Does that make you a manly girl, or a manly woman?'

I thought you had reached bottom as a lounge singer.
What career? Before the incident the other day the last time I heard her name mentioned was in the 70's when she was "dating" CA Governor "Moonbeam" Brown, which also probably happened to be the last time she had a hit song.
The rapidly expanding Linda Ronstadt revels in her newfound notoriety.
Soon she will be playing Indian casinos in Fargo. (no offense to North Dakota people)

I just look at this as an opportunity to see what Natalie Maines will be like in twenty years.....fat, dumb and miserable.
I am so sick of these people & their big mouths.
Shut Up and Sing...before it's too late!
She must not be doing too bad lately, from the looks of her I'd say she's been eating well.
Everybody is talking about where she's saying it, why she's saying and not getting down the real point which is:
What she said isn't true.
Freedom of speech is not a license to lie to yourself and others.
She's free to lie in public, but it's our duty, under the first amendmentment to educate her on exactly how she's been mislead.
oops looks like she has slipped into a time warp, and thinks she's Joan Baez. To funny, she's on minute 10, of her 15.
She's following the Michael Moore principle, that you can ignite a career by catering to the 5% of liberal wackos who will actually pay tickets to see your work as long as you turn it into some kind of liberal political statement. She's still just a has-been, though.
Well it worked for The Ditzy Chicks
There they go again, trying to turn everything into fair and balance. Equal, my you know what.
I wonder how much money she's got?
Yes --- does she sing new songs she has written in the past 30 years or are her songs just a bunch of golden oldies?
She's a has-been who is giving her sagging career a shot in the arm with the political crapola. I haven't bought anything of hers in 20 years (& that was for somebody else) and see no reason to ever again, but lefties will probably all rush out to get whatever she has on the market. :-(
It's the lack of brains that is the real problem for these people.
