‘Tumbling Dice’ isn’t the first choice for the most pro-woman song in The Rolling Stones’ catalogue. It’s certainly not the worst – perhaps ‘Under My Thumb’ or ‘Stupid Girl’ would take that crown. But the classic Exile on Main St cut largely revolves around Mick Jagger and some of his more salacious thoughts. While he does offer a position to his lover as his “partner in crime”, Jagger usually kicks off the song by claiming, “Women think I’m tasty (“crazy” in live versions) / And they’re always tryin’ to waste me”, establishing the divide between the sexes. Strangely enough, Jagger...

"In 1989 I took Rush Limbaugh's radio show off the air in St. Louis..." Jeff Long had his first "encounter" with Rush way back in the early days of his syndicated radio show. But there was more to come. Jeff would end up working in Rush's home town of Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He would meet Rush in person but there's more. And at the link below what Paul Harvey used to call on the radio "the rest of the story"... So many memories of Rush that for me include memories of the music that Rush loved. He would play songs...

Appearing on CNN with Anderson Cooper, singer Linda Ronstadt compared President Trump to Hitler and says she sees “great parallels” between the United States now and the Weimar Republic in Germany. Anderson Cooper: I’ve read that you have read a lot about the Weimar Republic in Germany, and you sort of see parallels between then and now. Linda Ronstadt: Great parallels. I mean the intelligentsia of Berlin and literati and all artists were just doing their thing, and as Hitler rose to power, there were a lot of chances to stop him, and they didn’t speak out. The industrial complex...

"Singing is what brought your family together," CNN anchor Anderson Cooper replied. "Yeah," she chuckled. "So, now that you don't have singing..." Cooper followed. "Now, I have to be careful because we've had so much taken away from us by this administration that I'm not willing to let them take my family relationships away," Ronstadt continued. "My family -- the parts that are Republican were fairly rational Republicans. We don't have that in our current White House." It's unclear exactly when the interview took place; the network released clips from the sitdown over the weekend. The Grammy-winning artist went into...

Mike Pompeo and singer-songwriter Linda Ronstadt clashed over the Secretary of State's boss during the Kennedy Center Honors State Department dinner Saturday evening. Pompeo hosted the dinner the night before the Kennedy Center Honors gala at the State Department, which is where the honorees received their awards. When delivering remarks to the audience at the dinner, Pompeo congratulated Ronstadt, a headliner honoree, and joked about her 1974 hit 'When Will I Be Loved,' asking when he would be loved. In response, the 73-year-old singer told Pompeo, 'Maybe when you stop enabling Donald Trump.'

Ronstadt Explains: 'I'm not telling them how to vote. I'm saying, get information about the issues'...

At her concerts, Linda Ronstadt used to imagine that audience members were whispering to one another about what a terrible singer she was. She was an unusual rock star in several ways. Few others were as careful about keeping their distance from the insanity, and fewer turned away from arena adulation and the pop charts to do standards, operetta, and Mexican folk songs. Ronstadt was the most spectacular female singer of the rock era, her voice a thing of astonishing clarity and power and color. Due respect is here, in the documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. What...

Hi, Linda. It has been 40 years since the release of your hugely successful album Simple Dreams (1). Do you have happy memories of it? Well, I don’t ever listen to my stuff once I’ve finished it, and I don’t really know what’s on it. I’m not saying it’s a bad record, I’m just saying I can’t remember it. When I listen to all my old stuff, I tend to be horrified. What do you feel is horrifying about your old stuff? I feel as if I really started learning how to sing in around 1980. I sang in an...

Linda Ronstadt - Poor Poor Pitiful Me "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" is a rock song written and originally recorded by Warren Zevon in 1976. It is best known as one of Linda Ronstadt's signature hits from 1978. Country music singer Terri Clark scored a hit in 1996 with her own cover of the song. There have also been many other versions of this song. In keeping with Warren Zevon's sardonic lyrical style, the song's verses deal with a failed suicide, domestic abuse, and a brush with sadomasochism. The song first appeared on Zevon's 1976 self-titled solo album. It is reputed...

The 67-year-old, 11-time Grammy Award winner details her struggle with the disease in an interview with the AARP. Grammy Award-winning artist Linda Ronstadt has revealed that a recent Parkinson's diagnosis has rendered her unable to sing. In an interview with the AARP, the 67-year-old says that she was officially diagnosed with the degenerative disorder eight months ago after displaying symptoms as far back as eight years ago. "I couldn't sing," she told AARP music reporter Alanna Nash, "and I couldn't figure out why. I knew it was mechanical. I knew it had to do with the muscles, but I thought...

Time flies . . . Dateline: The Barely Relevant Line -- the Dixie Chicks caused a major stir -- and a dent in their pocketbooks -- when they said they were embarrassed President Bush was from Texas, but Sneed has yet to hear a whisper of criticism over veteran crooner Linda Ronstadt telling a Canadian newspaper, "I'm embarrassed George Bush is from the United States."
