Stick a fork in her she's done
Even Californians are walking out on Linda Ronstadt. Now, I'm all for expressing one's opinions and if Ms. Ronstadt wishes to share her political views that is just hunky-dory with me.
However I don't want to hear my lawn man's opinion or the pool boy's opinion or the plumber's opinion when I am paying them to do something other than opine. People were paying Ronstadt to sing, not to tell them for whom to vote.
Now I'm never going to a Ronstadt concert, or for that matter The Dixie Chicks, Bonnie Raitt, or Whoopi Goldberg performances they are simply not something I would pay to see. But I know enough to keep my political activism quiet when I am working for someone else.
I'll never understand why celebrities think we average Joe's care what they think. Geez, Linda just sing.
