There’s a positive note. Thanks for posting.

I have prayed Psalms 58 and 59 over many people. Ronstadt was one of them. She can sort it out with God.

Actually Annette Funicello had MS, not Parkinson’s, but both can cause an awful downward spiral. That last documentary they made of her struggle was heartbreaking, but they were trying to raise money for support of a controversial treatment, CCSVI. I’ve have MS, and most people aren’t aware of what end stage progressive MS can look like. Her husband is a saint.

I'm with you, Max. IMNSHO, every Leftist, statist, socialist, communist, or liberal (not "progressive", as they call themselves) out there is an enemy of America. They put the current so-called "leadership" in office, and as such, are my/our enemies. By worshiping at the altar at Leftist humanism, they've shown themselves to be enemies of God. If they ask for my forgiveness, I'll give it. But until they do, I have nothing but contempt for the lot of them.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[berdie]

Thank you.

[krunkygirl]

max, i have noticed you are a plain
speaker. i know you hail from Canada,
but perhaps you are now an American
citizen and could run for office?!

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Bingo!

[cicero2k]

My 1970s would not be the same without her. Her songs litter my playlists.

We are going to see Karla Bonhoff perform in Denver next month. Karla wrote many of Lindas best songs.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Good one

[TotusTuus]

I well remember Different Drum and the airplay it got on the AM stations at the time. Nice catchy pop tune.

Written by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees.

Parkinson's Took My Singing Voice

Who's that guy Parkinson who took her voice? (And by the way Linda, learn the proper use of apostrophe's.)

[sushiman]

My Japanese wife - who eats twice as much as I - weighs the same as she did when she was in college , around 108 pounds . She’s 62 ( a year older than myself ) . Wish I had her metabolism !

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Right on. Some here don’t get the fact the lefties are destroying this once great country. They are clueless.

[TChad]

I remember Raquel Welch singing “Different Drum” to the troops in Viet Nam. I remember thinking she had a great voice then I realized she was lip syncing.

Not necessarily. Welch sang on Broadway and received good reviews. She can sing.

[grumpygresh]

“Maybe she’s had to take Steroids like Cortisone before she was actually diagnosed with Parkinson’s”

More likely drugs like methamphetamine or LSD. These drugs can cook your substantia nigra, reduce your dopamine production and lead to premature Parkinson’s. Ask Leftist convert Michael J Fox.

[max americana]

it’s on my homepage..my ode for hatred for liberals. If I forgave libtards, I would be lying about the sincerity of my prayer’

[max americana]

LOL, I’m an abrasive rightwinger living and working in the middle of a faggot-infested city. Who’s gonna vote for me? Thanks, sweetie.

But Freepers don’t believe me that because of my “ingenuity” in having the Conservative Party win Vancouver in 2006 before I left for America. Vancouver, Canada is the most liberal, anti-American city north of the border, yet I managed to have Stephen Harper speak at the town hall there in 2006. This is akin to having George Bush speak in the middle of San Francisco. Yes, what an accomplishment. Maybe I should have applied for the GOP but I;m not as liberal as they are today.

[max americana]

Yup. No more gray area. Either you with us or against us. Sheesh, Freepers have become limp-wristed nowadays...

[eartrumpet]

I always thought Linda would look good in prison, and I was right.

She really had a great voice!

Indeed she did but in my opinion the greatest female voice ever was Mama Cass Elliot.
