Lowdown Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Any Linda Ronstadt fans out there...? Count me in. I love that song "The Blue Train" - been thinking of a song for my eldest sons B/Day and I think this one's it... Anyone know it? Linda's a phenomenal talent...

NeoConMan Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 I've told the story here several times, but here goes.... She lives in Tucson, Arizona - about 150 miles from me. I found a Peavey T-40 bass on Ebay, it was in a store down there so I took a drive. At the store, there was a pierced slacker college dude named Petie Ronstadt. I decided to buy the bass, and as the transaction took place I asked about a relationship. He mumbled something indecipherable about being a nephew of some sort. I told him she had an amazing voice, it's her politics that show how bad she has her head up her ***. He wasn't amused. Good. Hope he told her about it too. Backstory; Just a few months before this, she had done a rare (sold out if I recall) concert appearance in Tucson. Understand, as much as they view themselves as a progressive college town, there's a lot of military there, not to mention retirees with lotsa money who are a bit more conservative. During this concert, she went on a Dixie Chicks-style anti-Bush/anti-war tirade from the stage. Her fatal mistake? She started running her mouth too early in the show. People started walking out - and noticed the box office was still open. As the venue was busy refunding the price of hundreds of tickets, people walked out en masse. The whole thing got barely a mention on the news. Seems nobody in the media wants to talk about such things. Neither did her nephew... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
