Re: Linda Ronstadt
Such sad news. Because I didn't follow Linda's career after the seventies, I never saw pictures of her as she aged. In my mind, she is still that beautiful, vibrant talent who made all of those great records. This does seem to explain a lot. My thoughts are with her.

Poor Linda. I will remember her in my prayers.

Re: Linda Ronstadt
Such sad news. The entertainment industry takes a major hit with her inability to continue working. What a loss for all of us but I'm grateful for all she has committed to recordings in the past. Thoughts and prayers to her.

Re: Linda Ronstadt
I have been so gutted about his since last nite--so sad. To lose that whopper of a voice...it's like a Greek tragedy, to have that particular skill/talent robbed from her, among the many other ailments Parkinsin's causes...And I aways held out hope I's hear her sing live one day in concert, they perhaps the autobiography would spur her to leave retirement...
I assume Riga is a big part of why she ddin't want to be invovled in the Eagles doc--to me her voice has sounded more gravelly in interviews these past few years--perhaps it and other evidences of the condition are more noticeable now, and she wanted to deal with it and reveal it on her own time and in her own terms, versus having people speculate on it after seeing doc. That said, I wonder how many of her friends knew she was grappling with this.
it is lovely to see all the love and praise coming her way n social media (and a lot of renewed calls to get her in RRHoF).

Re: Linda Ronstadt
And that to me AEW21 is also a tragedy that she is not in the R&RHOF! :scowl:

Re: Linda Ronstadt
OMG - This is so upsetting. My heart goes out to Linda that she will continue to have a full and rewarding future in spite of this setback. When I first saw this, I immediately thought of AEW.
And I have to agree it is a travesty that given all of her immense talent and influence, Linda has not yet been inducted into the R&R HOF. Shame on them! :fingerwag:

Re: Linda Ronstadt
Devastating news indeed. Linda's voice and part in musical history will always be that of a legend IMO and hopefully the RRHOF will realise the error of her omission and correct it.
Somehow this song seems especially appropriate..
