1970's songbird Linda Ronstadt, best known for her torch song-style and mellow ballads, is working overtime these days trying to persuade her fellow Arizonans that it's time to dump President Bush "right away."
In an interview broadcast on Saturday, Ronstadt was in the middle of explaining to WABC Radio's Mark Simone why she prefers living in Arizona to Los Angeles or New York, when she added one caveat.
"The politics are very conservative here and I'm not conservative. I'm having a hard time sometimes convincing people that we need to vote for a new president," she offered.
When Simone begged to differ, the singer insisted, "We need a different president right away, I think. I think we should impeach this one [rather than wait for] the next election."
Asked if she could support Sen. John Kerry despite his admission that he committed war crimes in Vietnam, Ronstadt told Simone, "I don't know about that? He might be a little more understanding of what these guys [U.S. GIs in Iraq] are going through."
When was the last time she had a hit? Something like 20 years ago..
I thought she was more famous for her work with the Stone Ponies, and trying to lay Jerry "moonbeam" brown.
Someone seeking impeachment less than 6 months from the election doesn't sound like someone very confident of an impending John Kerry presidency.
Linda is a "big L loser."
Based on recent photos, the last time she had a hit was about 100 pounds ago.
But if Bush is impeached (highly unlikely in the present circumstances), Dick Cheney becomes President....
Take care what you ask for. Self-inflicted wounds in the foot are doubly painful. So far, Linda is merely sounding foolish.

Tsk tsk Linda. You and I travel to the beat of a different drum.
Hey, Linda! Why don't you go sleep with Jerry Brown again, and STFU?
Dear Linda, ...Shut up and sing.
She doesn't want to wait for the election? She has a short memory. Impeachment doesn't happen quickly. The election would be over before the impeachment even started.
As one great conservative woman has said, Shut up and sing. May I request "Far, Far, Away" for starters.
LOL--GMTA?
As a singer she was wonderful. Her politics were always shallow and left wing. In fact her discussions on any subject outside of singning were shallow. In the 80s she was telling people to vote against Reagan and support nuclear freeze.
Earth calling Ms. Rondstat: Your 15 minutes of fame are up--any effort to grab more fame by blurting out inanities will lead to a permanent on Hollywood Squares (or CBS News Evening new anchor--about as equally entertaining and absurd).
But of course!
If a washed up has-been sqawks in the woods and nobody's around to hear it...?

Have fun - post away.

Didn't she used to be Jerry Brown's old lady?
That's just sad. She used to be kinda cute.
Ut Oh is this Rosey Odonald ?
....A bit moonbeamish herself, if you ask me.
More evidence that we aren't in the 70s anymore.
When has she ever? I think one with "You`re no good" which is fitting for her.
"I don't know about that? He might be a little more understanding of what these guys [U.S. GIs in Iraq] are going through."
Maybe she would have a little more understanding of what the common person is going through if she hadn't been so well off and successful herself.
A vote for the democratic party is a vote for a socialists who want only two classes of people; those who are well off in a ruling class and the rest in a peasant under class where nobody succeeds on the merit of their hard work. For the upwardly mobile middle class, democratic pandering tax dollars offers no future.
Hey this topic might even make a great song, perhaps she needs to take notes here, cause she does have a good voice !
There's a name I haven't heard in a long time. Where's she doing gigs these days, some third tier casino in Wendover, NV?

I used to Like Linda. Oh Boy the Big picture is sad.

Yeah, He can understand their plight. After all, he served a 4 month tour 30 some years ago on a boat.
Listing of her Gigs are at the Web Site I posted.
Looks like shes up in the North East the End of May.
My neck of the woods
Another 'sad ole hasbeen' trying to kickstart a career by bashing the president! The 60's are over hippy!
Wow!! I haven't seen a photo of her in years. Looks like she has packed away a few hunred doughnuts since she last surfaced.
At risk of showing my age, I can recall when she sang at the Minus One Coffehouse on Sixth Street in Tucson, AZ. She was the "original Hippy" (Ie. pre 1964) at Tucson's Catalina High School. Her father owned a great harware/farm supply store in downtown Tucson and was an earlyday Mexican/American merchant, selling a lot into Sonora, Mexico. The last Album she had that was good was Canciones de mi Padre -- old Rancheria from Sonora. My take is "Music good, Politics predictable based on career."
Dear Linda,
Go eat a quart of ice cream and shut the F--K UP!
For a second I thought it was Candy Crowley.
Yeah, riiiight...
Hey, Linda, I see the U.S. GI's in Iraq every day. They're doing just fine, OK? They're not a bunch of spoiled whiners like the Hollywood elite are; they're real people committed to their objectives.
Yeah, but I can handle fat -- Just not between the ears.
Linda has a great voice. But not much going on upstairs.

It`s amazing what an over abundance of food can do.
Wasn't her backup band the Eagles. They left her and flew into mega stardom.
Not to cross threads, but
it is hard to imagine
that evolution
worked billions of years
just to get to that. Of course,
hard to blame God, too . . .
