Ronstadt was a gorgeous woman in the day. Too bad she turned into a left wing ugly troll.
@catfish1957 True,but her appearance had and has nothing to do with her politics. She was born into them as a Trust Fund Child in a very wealthy family. On top of that,she had the gift of that incredible voice.
So naturally,once she started hanging out with "struggling musicians" who had trouble paying rent and feeding themselves,she started feeling guilty for having to much.
This is America,and she is free to believe any damnfool thing she wants to believe in order to feel better about herself.
I haven't spent a dime on a concert ticket or an album or CD since I found out she was a dedicated leftie. I did see her in concert a few times,like once when she was the opening act for The Eagles,but it was the Eagles I was paying to see.
What is a true tragedy for the world ,as well as for her personally,is she has lost that magnificent voice. It was always,and rightly so,her claim to fame. Now she has lost it,and given the business she was in,has lost almost everyone she thought was a friend when the voice went away.
She is just lately coming to understand the realities of the true world,and I can guarantee you it is painful for her.
BTW,I strongly suspect a large part of her affiliation with the left is because she is,and has always been,a lesbian,and while the loons of the left think that is something to celebrate as much as her voice,the loons on the right would have wanted to see her burned at a stake for it.
I guess it is possible to support Republicans if you are a homo,but it's gotta be a tough hill to climb.
Love her or hate her,that woman could SING!
