Didn't you guys say that Bonnie Raitt was a republican?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

I just saw her on a music video from the tour Dave Matthews, Eddie Vedder and Bruce Springsteen, among others, are on, and there she is.

1. I can't believe that anyone would think that. Very much the opposite.

[stellanoir]

2. no way

she's been a lefty for as long as I can remember. She grew up in Cambridge (hardly a Repuke stronghold) and was very much involved in the "No Nuke" movement in the 70's.

3. Someone did say it...

..I was a bit confused because she seemed more like a former hippie me than a republican....

5. Her father, a noted opera singer, was a Republican.

But as far as I know, she never was.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

7. Actually, her father was more of a Broadway star than an opera singer

I believe he was the original Billy in Carousel.

11. True that. My mistake. nt

6. Bonnie is our girl

she fought tooth and nail against Bush in his first gubernatorial race. She campaigned tirelessly for Ann Richards.

We have the best and the brightest on our side not to mention star and music power!

8. THE HELL SHE IS!

[MallRat]

9. Absolutely NOT. She's a major, bigtime Democrat.

10. I never said she was a Republican.

She was educated in Quaker schools & has never been a Republican.
