Next to Ruin Career.......Linda Ronstadt

Well, we've seen the Dixie Chicks get pecked, Bono has been de-boned, Elton has been further marginalized. So you would think that these self absorbed singers would get it. Don't tell us about your liberal political views - because you immediately loose half of your fans!

But these singers aren't paid to use their brains, so here they go again.

Linda Ronstadt has now stuck both her feet into her mouth. I actually liked her. Years ago I bought a 2-CD set of "Round Midnight" which are beautiful Nelson Riddle standards. Actually a very good performance. But from now on - I will never be able to listen to her voice without punching the CD player. I simply won't be able to listen.

For those of you not familiar - she recently went on a tirade against George W. Bush at a concert at the Aladdin Casino in Vegas. In an interview she actually said, "It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."

Amongst other pap, she stated, "I've been dedicating a song to him [Michael Moore]– I think he's a great patriot – and it splits the audience down the middle, and they duke it out."

Well Linda, you said you like to "split your audience down the middle". Well for me - I'm going to cut and run. As for you Linda - you are now in the "has-been" wasteland.

Seeya!
