This Just In: Linda Rondstadt Booted Off Stage in Vegas
LAS VEGAS (AP) Mon Jul 19, 5:24 PM ET - Singer Linda Ronstadt not only got booed, she got the boot after lauding filmmaker Michael Moore and his new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" during a performance at the Aladdin hotel-casino.
Before singing "Desperado" for an encore Saturday night, the 58-year-old rocker called Moore a "great American patriot" and "someone who is spreading the truth." She also encouraged everybody to see the documentary about President Bush .
Ronstadt's comments drew loud boos and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air."It was a very ugly scene," Aladdin President Bill Timmins told The Associated Press. "She praised him and all of a sudden all bedlam broke loose." Timmins, who is British and was watching the show, decided Ronstadt had to go — for good. Timmins said he didn't allow Ronstadt back in her luxury suite and she was escorted off the property.
I couldn't make you love me
You only made me blue
So all in all if the curtain should fall
Then I hope that it falls on youAnd I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet
Sweet sweet mental revenge
"Mental Revenge" by Mel Tillis from the "Silk Purse" albumFeeling better now that we're through
Feeling better 'cause I'm over you
I learned my lesson, it left a scar
Now I see how you really areYou're no good
You're no good
You're no good
Baby you're no good
"You're No Good" by Clint Ballard, Jr.Someday I am going to get back in to the sadly neglected Komedy Komedy Komedy Section of AllThingsMike. My plans for a "browser" like Yahoo or Excite, called "Hearsay" were grand plans, but I never acted on the urges to "be humorous" after Sept. 11. I do have an early example (courtesy of my scanner) of a "magazine parody" a la Mad or Nat Lamp from 1977, but I think a lot of the links don't work. (Edit: I believe I just did fix them by pointing the URLs on the page to the proper part of the server. I have a link to two webhosting parodies, the Homestead and "Achoo" parody sites. I also have the "Nine Lives of a Lazy Bastet" page which is my "tribute" to our cats, Spike and Malcolm. Until I do start "creating Komedy" again, here's a rather comic image above that came to mind after I read the above story on my AP feed this afternoon. Lyrics are an afterthought by "moi". And this isn't intended to offend Linda Rondstadt, her management, the Aladdin Hotel and casino, or Michael Moore. This is satire, and is protected under the first amendment.
