Linda Ronstadt tells Trump and Vance "You're No Good"

the list of artist who have forbad trump from using their music reads like the phone book

You need to see the photo from her Instagram. Still beautiful.

Wonderful photo at R2! I just love that so much. She looks older and yet still is absolutely Linda in a beautiful way. Wish more rich and famous women like Madonna would understand what is lost when you go in for drastic plastic surgery.

Linda stands up to bigoted Howard Stern and his Uncle Tomasina enabler.

Still classy and beautiful. Not an angry message but filled with the outrage and disgust we're all feeling.

Honest, articulate, and fully aware of the issues. Just like when she was singing about heartbreak in 1976, when "Hasten down the Wind," "Down So Low," and "Try Me Again" were my theme songs of the moment.

It's a pity she's half forgotten. She deserves to be as well remembered as other artists from her generation like Stevie Nicks and Bruce Springsteen.

She is remembered by me.

I was wondering if she would say something since the building is named for her. Good on you, Linda!!

But Trump still has Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Lee Greenwood!

I bet it kills him that all of the best musicians/singers hate him and are filing cease and desists when he pirates their songs. He's stuck with the Z list losers. 🤣🤣

R7: She had a slight comeback recently when THE LAST OF US included 'Long Long Time' in the most popular episode of the season (The one starring Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett). Sales of her greatest hits albums climbed the charts.

R4: I remember listening to Howard Stern's show when Robin returned from her Tonight Show appearance. As expected, Howard took the low road, but Robin was still incensed by the exchange and she was laughing and joining HS as he put LR down, mostly for her weight. It was awful.

Lovely lady, beautifully written message.

Side note, related, so Trump is going to do a speech in Tucson AZ this afternoon. Why at the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall? That is a lovely space but it only has 2100 seats (i just checked), it's not that big.

Guess he can't fill the big arenas like he used to in 2016.

An incredible message. So personal and articulate. Because Trump was holding a rally in a building that bears her name, she felt she had to speak out.

I don’t think she’s forgotten but she’s retired and extremely private. Nicks and Springsteen tour regularly and have a big media presence

Love her

I love that DL has a dedicated Linda Troll.

Love you Linda Troll! Keep on keeping on! ✌️ ☮️ 💜

Glad to hear from Linda.

I couldn’t give a shit if I tried

That episode of TLOU was so good, I’m glad it got her a new audience. The letter is perfect. He is unworthy.

Sad ass r20

I’m sure there are several Linda Ronstadt trolls here. I count myself as one also. Hasten Down the Wind is one of my all-time favorite albums.

Bend over and break wind is my favorite of hers

You go, Linda! Loved her already but love her even more now.

lol how pathetic

So she won't be writing in Jerry Brown?

That is precisely why, R13. Also, he has to pay up front for venues and he's not exactly flush with cash.

And you just know no one will dare leave because Kamala told the world that everyone leaves during these rallies.

Omg r28 you’re right. They’ll all be walking zombies by the end of Dump’s speech.

I'd like to see Robin and Linda get together for a joint endorsement of Harris.

Some of you sad fat cunts think you're hilarious.

You are not.

They're paid to waddle through the gates to up the attendance numbers, but are then free to leave.

A lot of it was juvenile, but he did bring up that she played Sun City in 1983, going against a UN boycott of South Africa because of apartheid. And how the UN simply asked her to apologize and agree to not perform there again, but she publicly refused for years. Her reasoning was that the last place for a boycott was in the arts, which I kind of agreed with. But given how liberal she's always been and how active she's been in defending the Latino community against bigotry, it was a baffling move for her to make, and she didn't come off good at all.

Never saw the documentary on her, but is the Sun City debacle addressed?

It took Howard Stern 25 years to change his toxic bigoted narrative and become the more thoughtful commentator he is today. I believe he felt he needed that public persona for notoriety and to stay successful. While I like him today, he will always have that stain from his past years of demeaning people who were different and vulnerable.

Isn't she only like 1/4 Latino?

Thank you 🙏 so much, r2. I was unaware Linda was on instagram.

Meanwhile, someone of us write evergreen songs that apply for decades. Donnie & JD definitely think my song is about them.

Carly don't make me put you in a headlock again. Stupid bitch.

Dear Linda,

You're so good,

You're so good,

You're so good,

Baby, you're so good.

She doesn’t know where she is

Don't be a dick. She has Parkinsons, not Alzheimers.

r41 It's actually a Parkinson’s-like disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy.

she's my goat

yes I'm sure she smells like a goat r43
