      My brother passed away from parkinson's last year. I didn't know that he was going to die. I live in Wisconsin while he lived in New Jersey. Then one day his son (my nephew) called me on the phone. I had only met him once and was surprised that he called. When he told me that my brother had passed it shocked me. I had been speaking to my brother on the phone once in a while but not in about 7 weeks. I've been on disability for the last 7 years and could not afford to go to the service. The bottom line is this; live each day like it is your last. before you know it .....it will be.

    Not only is she one of the great talents of all time, she is a sweetheart. I saw her in Tempe Arizona in the 1970s. She had a warmup up act that was so sensational, the audience wouldn't let him off the stage. Linda came out and asked the audience, "Isn't he incredible? Don't you want to hear more of him? I promise you I'll give you my entire show, no matter how late it gets." And she did. The show lasted five hours. The warmup act? Billy Joel, unknown at the time. The greatest show I've ever seen in my 75 years. I love Linda Ronstadt.

      Here's a scandal for you. Jerry Brown was governor of California and Linda Ronstadt was his girlfriend. He went on a trip to Africa and brought her along. Since this was some sort of government trip and he was representing the state of California they were both criticized for going on this trip with them being unmarried. I was a kid then and I thought it was kind of cool. This had to be the late 70s.

    We ALL owe her a debt of gratitude. She was the female performer who kicked open the doors to the music world! And, she left it open and others. Sure there were others, great and not-so before her, but the dynamics of her voice, personality, performance style, and presence blew us all away the first time we heard her. Grateful to be able to see her once. Sending my Love and Prayers that her life is as satisfying now as it was back in the day.

    Llorando - I met Linda in person, years ago, at East Bay Performing Arts Center in Richmond CA, in women’s bathroom! She was wonderful, gracious and beautiful. I told her I played violin in Mariachi group and she was so excited and supportive! She is and always will be one of my greatest inspirations. And now she lives in my hometown, in Beautiful Sea Cliff, by the Golden Gate Bridge. My mother also had Parkinson’s and died of one of its complications - aspiration pneumonia. Linda, we all know you’ll be singing up a storm in heaven, when you get there!

She did very little talking and just sang. I especially loved the concert she did with Aaron Neville. They were great together!

    Great interview and excellent incite on her life. I recall back then discovering her and soon acquired all her albums. People came over to my townhouse and I usually had her records on during the visits and dinners. She made life fun and calm and a host of other great times. Too bad many of the new generation was not exposed to her talents. Maybe we'd have a bit more peace. Many thanks to her.

      watched this last night and thinking about that this morning. What a pro - a high compliment from me - how many times have you seen others in any field stay on five years too long, or even worse get propped up on the stage for a few extra bucks? And on top of that just being clear-eyed and honest about her career/life, I like her response to the interviewer who suggested they might find a cure for Parkinson's and she brushed off the optimism with "Hey, I'm 72" which I took as a "I'm in the territory, stuff happens." She was never really a problem child either, no deep bout with drugs, affairs, tortured soul stuff. ('course, some people think that's what music should be about but I'll leave that for someone else) no histrionics, still friends with Jerry, went on to dabble in the standards...just a pro with a fantastic voice who excelled at her craft. On the side, I don't understand why people bring in a comparison to Trump, simply, it's changing the subject from the original comment while souring the whole thread. Oh well.

      @@GTLyons: I'm a Christian too, but it really annoys me when I hear misguided snooty "Christians" like you say things like that. What an ignorant, faithless way to speak. I wish both militant Christians AND militant atheists would learn when to shut their pie holes and not attack others. Whatever happened to "live and let live?" Besides- does your God have the power or do you? The worst kind of faith is one that frames faith as some inherited thing. Leave it to each seeker to find their own path because I believe God loves true seekers of all kinds. If you want to pray, then fine, but people are here to celebrate her and her music, not downgrade her by parroting out the same mealy mouthed guilt tripping phrases that push people away from Christianity in droves.
