...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Shelly asked me if i was going to comment on the Lynda Ronsdstat controversy. i don't have much to to say on that, except for the following:
At least she had the guts to say what she said in front of a hostile audience in this country. That's more than i can say for the Dixie Chiks.
Also, what she said wasn't so bad. She just recommended the movie. It's not like she said she was ashamed to be an American.
i think what she said about Christians and Republicans is more offensive.
Anyway, whatever. Who cares about her anyway? She made one good record, a long time ago with Nelson Riddle, and her career's been AWOL ever since.
Link thanks to Jen.
Most folks think her "Trio" recordings with Emmylou and Dolly are spectacular... I am among them.
And I think the behavior of the crowd at the Aladdin was unfortunate.
Posted by: Hugo on Jul. 21, 2004i was gonna say something about the crowd, but the story seems exagerrated to me. Anyway, it's not much different than the behavior of this kid's history teacher.
Posted by: annika on Jul. 21, 2004I think if you pay $250 a seat, you have a right not to be subjected to left-wing propaganda.
If you have been warned that the artist has lost her mind and you still go, then you should sit through the propaganda without objection.
