Ronstadt rides pro-Moore anti-Bush wave

[joefree1]

Ronstadt: Casino didn't boot me

edit ...
She has received support from a number of other celebrities, and the Aladdin's new owner, the owners of Hard Rock Cafe, called to ask her back, she said.

edit ...
"Michael Moore called me and said he would go with me. We could sing, 'America the Beautiful' together and he would screen his movie for free for anyone who wants to come and see it," she said.

"Irving Azoff, who is the Eagles' manager, immediately pulled all his acts from the Aladdin. I've had phone calls and messages from all over. Elton John sent me flowers last night. Keith Richards, Sting - the list goes on and on of people pouring in support."

edit ...
Apparently not everyone is upset with the soft-rock star.

Ronstadt sang to a full-house Tuesday night at Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, and the crowd reserved its longest and loudest ovation for her endorsement of Moore's film, the Los Angeles Times reported yesterday.

Whoohoo! Bash Bush and re-start your music career. And a few more freeper heads explode! Do you think they get a clue how uncool they are?

[Sequoia]

1. This is great news. Hooray Linda! Eagels, Elton John and Michael Moore!

[Viking12]

2. "The Bill O'Reilly Effect" is working for Linda

An O'Reilly Attack Spells Good Fortune for All

Well, it looks to be a virtual guarantee, kids.... If O'Reilly declares war on you, chances are you will win big. Time after time, when Bill tries to bring someone down, success comes a callin'.

1. O'Reilly attacks Al Franken - Franken book outsells O'Reilly's by nearly a hundred thousand
2. O'Reilly attacks Hillary Clinton - Clinton book outsells O'Reilly's by half-a-million
3. O'Reilly attacks NPR - Joan Kroc leaves $200 million bequest to NPR
4. O'Reilly attacks Michael Moore - Fahrenheit 9/11 grosses over $100 million in first month
5. O'Reilly attacks Rapper Jadakiss - Jadakiss receives lucrative contract with Microsoft

We'll keep you posted as O'Reilly spreads wealth and success to all his enemies.

3. And you can't forget Ludacris.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

7. Can I get him to attack me?

I need some of the O'Reilly mojo in my life!

[SemperEadem]

47. LOL!!! I need some cheddah, too!!!!

[fishwax]

39. Don't forget France, either

Testimony from the Paris Business Review aside :)

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

9. sweetjesusihatebilloreilly.com

I burst out laughing at the URL alone -- and the rest of the website is pretty darned funny, too!

[Joanne98]

40. That would make a great article

Why don't you write one and re-post it. Make it funny and we can nominate it for homepage. :) Really.

[zeemike]

4. Her success is not just anti Bush

She is also an amazing singing talent
I have loved her for years and am proud that she is on our side. But then again most great talent is on our side.
Who do they have besides Britney Spears and that dumass rock star that likes to kill animals?

[hyphenate]

5. Ted Nugent eom

[zeemike]

6. thanks

I have a mental block on that guy

[sangh0]

30. Lucky you

I wish I could forget him

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

8. Would I be accused of being sexist...

...if I were to point out that she's actually quite a bit more attractive than Ted Nugent?

[zeemike]

10. Most defiantly

Not by me. She is a knock out.

16. Awwwww, is the heat gettin to ya sweetie?

Unless yer boy lets terrorists kill some of us again, you're out on your asses for decades AGAIN, my friend.

:evilgrin:

oh and on edit... even if he does try to pull that particular October surprise, it's still no guarantee... how many in the military hate his idiot guts again?

:hi:

[SoCalDem]

18. Does she look like you??

or did you have a point to make??

[JustSwell]

24. Actually...

My hair is a little grayer.
But I saw her last year, and I think she's lovely.

Apparently you don't.
Fine.

I don't know why people have to be so mean about things.

[redqueen]

31. LOL... riiiiiiight

Before, she was 'absolutely stunning' (the comment you accompanied with an unflattering pic)... now she's 'lovely'...

Sure, you're a real fan I bet!

I know I always find the worst pics to post of people I spend money to see and think are 'lovely'.

Pfft.

38. What's your agenda here?

just curious...

[redqueen]

41. Aww I missed it

what'd it say? what'd it say?

[Misunderestimator]

43. LOL...

It was suddenly trying to pretend to be a feminist... imagine that!

[redqueen]

49. BWAHAHAHAHA! I can't! I really can't! That is too much!

I guess it hadn't figured out yet how to go back and edit... it could easily have hidden the nasty sarcastic nature of its first post on this thread.

It didn't spend enough time in freeper troll school, I guess.

:evilgrin:

[Misunderestimator]

33. Welcome to DU...

have a nice stay :hi:

[redqueen]

20. Lack of talent = bush supporter?

I dunno... I think there are many hacks that aren't even that stupid.

lol... britney... that footage in 9/11 was classic. :)

[sendero]

11. Once again...

... at the risk of sounding like a flaming optimist (trust me, I'm anything but) this is yet more proof that the "tipping point" of Bush*'s popularity has been reached.

The negative actions taken against folks who speak out are having a larger and larger backlash.

The Roves and Gillespies must be pissing their pants, because there is no amount of bullshit spin that can fix this. Not only that, the bullshit spin just digs them in deeper.

Things are definitely looking up!

[joefree1]

13. Even dark water Democrats are starting to smile

But we can't rest yet. First we vote out the smirk then we go after Congress.

[sendero]

37. Oh I agree...

... I did not mean that we have a slam dunk. What I mean is that despite the best efforts of the Republican Noise Machine/Echo Chamber and the complicity of the media, our message IS getting traction.

Woo hoo!

[central scrutinizer]

12. Bash Bush and re-start your music career?

While I am grateful for any and all anti-* sentiments, there are a lot of bands and singers whose careers should NOT be re-started: Zager and Evans, Milli Vanilli, Bobby Goldsboro immediately come to mind. I would have included John Denver, but we would need to resurrect him first.

[SoCalDem]

17. It would be Milli OR Vanilli.. One's dead

:(

[Joanne98]

29. Bashing Bush is a get rich quick scheme

The flood gates are open. LET THE MARKET DECIDE!!!!!!!!!!

[LWolf]

42. I almost concur.

But I'd love to find a way to resurrect John Denver.

"Music brings people together; it allows us to experience the same emotions. People everywhere are the same in heart and spirit. No matter what language we speak, what color we are, the form of our politics or the expression of our love and our faith, music proves: We are the same."

-John Denver, 1995

[SoCalDem]

15. Betcha she's on Dave Letterman's show soon, too.

I hope so..

[Guaranteed]

19. Absolutely AWESOME.

This makes me feel great.

We're not alone in this fight, folks. The media tries to make it seem that way, but we're nowhere near alone.

People know.

[Jacobin]

21. The tidal wave of Bush* Approbation is becoming overwhelming

Such a good feeling.

The Dixie Chix took some hits and had considerable but not overwhelming support.

This is lovely to see. Bonnie deserves it. She has paid her dues and she's a damn fine musician.

[Aristus]

23. Uh, just FYI. 'Approbation' is good.

What I think you meant was 'disapprobation.' No biggie. :-)

[Guaranteed]

26. See, that's why I don't use big words.

Big words bad. :)

[Aristus]

27. Naw, keep at it. The proper use of words four syllables

and longer is what separates us from the freepers. :thumbsup:

[redqueen]

22. Evidence of their desperation to maintain the lies of the reich-wing media

I think only the most idiotic kool-aid drinking conservatives are buying that crap little nazi hannity is spewing.

Real conservatives are moving to libertarian party or just staying home. Goodness knows they sure don't wanna talk about it! Every former republican-voter I know is so touchy lately ... it's so delicious. Four years ago you coulnd't shut them up... now they just want to run and hide.

[Joanne98]

25. But but but isn't Christian rock cool?

What about Toby Bryant isn't he cool? The NASCAR space suits are cool aren't they? What about the new hats for the troops, they're cool. Cowboys, the rodeo???????? AH-NOLD???????????? WAHHHHHHHHHH The right wing just can't stop promoting MM's movie. Watch how many people go see it this weekend. 100 million by Monday. Yeeeeeee haaaaaaaaa

[democratreformed]

28. TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

I absolutely love it!!!

[Misunderestimator]

32. Never was a huge fan of Ronstadt's... but am now.

Will go and buy anything she puts out. Just like I did the Dixie Chicks.

[redqueen]

34. lol...

:yourock:

I love her voice... Canciones de mi Padre is excellent.

Care to recommend a good Dixie Chicks CD? :)

[Misunderestimator]

36. ALL of them! I never listened to them until the brouhaha...

and then bought them all... they're phenomenal!

[zeemike]

50. Don't miss Songs of My Father

There classic Spanish songs that she sings just great. It is one of my favorites and I do not speak Spanish.

[Karenina]

44. Listen to her version

of Jimmy Webb's "Easy For You to Say." Girlfriend got some SERIOUS pipes.

[Pastiche423]

45. Ah, so sweet!

Linda has been a favorite of mine since she was w/the Stone Ponys. What I would give to have her voice!

And her politics? She's right on!

[Blue Gardener]

46. Linda Ronstadt is a class act

I hope this boosts her record sales, I think I may just add to my collection. I've enjoyed her music for years.

[merh]

48. Great post, thank you -- by the way love that hammer!

This article should be sent to the folks at Slim Fast - they need to know that they were stupid to listen to Jeb and his freeper net!

[joefree1]

51. Thank you

I love to use the hammer too.
