Ronstadt's family has deep roots here and are quite remarkable. But she seems to emphasize her Mexican roots rather than her German ones, which is where most of the accomplishments came from.

She came back here to live for a while before she went back to SF to raise her kids in a gay neighborhood, because she thought Tucson was "too conservative".

Activism for illegals is not new for her.

the Tucson native said, "Mexican-Americans are not going to take this lying down."

Good, take it walking. ...and continue until south of the border.

[FrankR]

Didn't she get fired in Las Vegas a few years ago for refusing to sing the National Anthem or something like that...it was something unpatriotic.

Well, singing has nothing to do with poltical clout, except to superficial democrats.

[cripplecreek]

Yeah whatever Linda.

Have another twinkie.

[dfwgator]

Have another burrito, Linda.

[Clintonfatigued]

Some Californians remember her for her affair with Jerry Brown.

[dfwgator]

She was a babe about 35 years and 200 pounds ago.

Tucson is south of the border now:
Tucson Officer files papers. Saying AZ’s 2nd largest city, is 60 Mi So. of the International Border

[Mr. Jeeves]

It's actually pretty cool when every single liberal, Hollywood figure, media outlet, and RINO speaks out against something you are supporting. Means you are on exactly the right track. :)

[SparkyBass]

Eh, she probably just recalls her old coke-supply-line from south of the border with all too much fondness.

[Travis McGee]

She used to be cute, before she gained 400#.

[discostu]

It’s funny how she didn’t discover her Mexican roots until she stopped being popular and a few musical imports from Mexico started.

[FredZarguna]

Who’s Linda Ronstadt?

[Future Snake Eater]

Don’t know. I think she was in the “Plow King” episode of
“The Simpsons.”

[Cyber Liberty]

This certainly takes me by surprise. She actually made Jerry Brown seem almost normal by comparison, back when she was his ho.

Linda Ronstadt says, "You're No Good" to Anti- Illegal Immigration Law

I liked Ronstadt's version of that song, but I didn't know until recently that it was largely identical to Betty Everett's 1963 version:

“’Cause she’s a Star Collector, Collector of Stars
She only aims to please young celebrities...”...

[Snickering Hound]

Cute 40 years ago.

[givemELL]

AZ is only attempting to enforce EXISTING FEDERAL LAW that the President and the US Attorney General and DHS head do not want to enforce.

[Forty-Niner]

Who’s Linda Ronstadt?

Former Calif. Gov. Jerry Moonbeam Brown’s old squeeze......

I hope that those kids aren’t Jerry’s...........That’s a scary thought!
