Linda Ronstadt laments 'new bunch of Hitlers'
Singer: 'People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves'

Singer Linda Ronstadt, who made headlines during this year's presidential campaign by expressing solidarity with filmmaker Michael Moore, is now comparing current U.S. political trends with events in Nazi Germany.


"People don't realize that by voting Republican, they voted against themselves," Ronstadt told USA Today regarding the race for the White House.

On the issue of the ongoing battle in Iraq, Ronstadt added, "I worry that some people are entertained by the idea of this war. They don't know anything about the Iraqis, but they're angry and frustrated in their own lives. It's like Germany, before Hitler took over. The economy was bad and people felt kicked around. They looked for a scapegoat. Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers."


The comments are just the latest in a string of controversial remarks the singer made this year. In July, her dedication of a song to Moore during a concert in Las Vegas prompted her to be escorted off the Aladdin Casino and Resort property.

Looking back on the incident, she told the paper, "No one threw drinks or anything in the concert hall. I don't know what people did in the lobby, but if they behaved like naughty schoolboys, that's not my fault. I doubt it was the first time they had drunk people in Vegas, you know?"

She added she has no regrets about the incident.

"It made me look rather good, I think."

The 58-year-old also raised eyebrows in an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune with a verbal assault on Christians as well as members of the GOP.

"This is an election year, and I think we're in desperate trouble and it's time for people to speak up and not pipe down. It's a real conflict for me when I go to a concert and find out somebody in the audience is a Republican or fundamental Christian. It can cloud my enjoyment. I'd rather not know."

Despite her high-profile statements, Ronstadt admits the impact of her words is debatable.

"I have very little power," she told USA Today. "I've been blessed with an unusually long career, but the peak was in the '70s and '80s. I think you just have to carry on – and do what you can to get information out to people. Do what you can."

Elvis Costello
Title: Two Little Hitlers


while we're racing to be so old
I'm up late pacing the floor
I won't be told
you have your reservations
I'm bought and sold
I'll face the music, I'll face the facts
even when we walk in polka-dots and checkered slacks
bowing and squawking, running after tidbits
bobbing and squinting, just like a nitwit

chorus
two little hitlers will fight it out until
one little hitler does the other one's will
I will return, I will not burn

down in the basement
I need my head examined, I need my eyes excited
I'd like to join the party, but I was not invited
you make a member of me, I'll be delighted
I wouldn't cry for lost souls who might drown
dirty words with dirty minds written in a toilet town
got me a valentine, she's a smooth operator
it's all so calculated, she's got a calculator
she's my soft touch typewriter, and I'm the great dictator

chorus
two little hitlers will fight it out until
one little hitler does the other one's will
I will return, I will not burn


a simple game of self-respect
you flick the switch and the world goes off
nobody jumps as you expect
I would have thought you would have had enough by now

he calls selective dating, for some effective mating
I thought I'd let you down dear, but you were just afraid
I knew right from the start, we'd end up hating

pictures of the merchandise plastered on the wall
we can look so long as we don't have to talk at all
you say you'll never know him, he's not a natural man
he doesn't want your pleasure, he wants as no one can
he wants to know the names of all those he's better than

chorus
two little hitlers will fight it out until
one little hitler does the other one's will
I will return, I will not burn

"Now we've got a new bunch of Hitlers" ??

This piece of fat crap can check into hell right now as far as I'm concerned...

[FORD]

Calling the red states populations "hitlers' is a bit much. However they DO bear a strong resemblance to the German people who enabled Htler through their inaction.

[ELVIS]

..a bit much ??

[FORD]

There's a big difference between calling someone a Busheep and calling them Bush. Therefore, those who mindlessly enable Der Fuhrer aren't neccessary Der Fuhrer themselves.

[blueturk]

Linda Rondtadt,please shut the fuck up! Stupid-ass remarks like yours just make it hard on the anti-Bush people.Evidently, your brains went away with your looks.

[ELVIS]

Yuk!

Hey, I got a soft spot for Linda... I liked some of her early stuff that she made with the Eagles as her back up band, and her first single "Different Drum" (written by Mike Nesmith of the Monkees no less) And she's from my "adopted" hometown of Tucson for fucks sake, so how about a little fucking respect, huh?

I think Barry Goldwater, a fine Arizona conservative would probably agree with her.

[Bill Lumbergh]

Didnt she turn out to be a carpet muncher?!

[FORD]

Never heard that before, but you got a video? :D

I definitely would have munched her carpet back in the day :eatit:

[Bill Lumbergh]

My wife told me that years ago. Maybe she knows something I dont :D !

[Big Train]

A muncher for sure....

The problem here is complete and UTTER hypocrisy. So she (and Ford) think I (and yes I take it personally) am a "mindless enabler". If I had a strong opinion (say with this PETA nonsense about fish I heard today) and said she was a retarded commie enabler, I would be branded "insensitive" and "not respectful of diversity of thought". As she, and a LOT of liberals I know, can't walk their own walk, why should I take them seriously? The cultural divide are comments like what she is making here. Whatever good she thinks she is doing is all for nothing.

[bueno bob]

You all wanna know something funny about Linda? She did a show here in Portland and stopped halfway through her set to rail on about the Bush administration...on and on AND ON...finally the promoter cancelled the whole thing, threw her and her crew out on the street and banned them from ever coming back. While she railed on about the injustices of the venue, the owner of the place said that he paid her to perform, not preach. Apparently over half of the audience had left during the rant, not because they didn't agree with her, per se, but because she wasn't playing anything, just rambling on and on about how Bush and anybody who supported him were evil, rotten, wicked people that really should be driven out into the streets and beaten down or some shit...resounding boos and people throwing shit at her, apparently...

A lot of time I think musicians just need to shut the fuck up and do what they're paid to do, not try and shove a bunch of political shit down people's throats. I know if I'd bought a ticket to see her and she went on for 45 minutes about politics, I'd be pissed...

That's always been my opinion Bob. Just shut the fuck up and play. If you wanna make political comments, fine go ahead. But when people go to see a show, they are looking to escape form the world for a couple hours. Shut the fuck up, fuck the shit out of 20 year old groupies, do some blow and PLAY!

Exactly. I went to see Buddy Myles (Hendrix's old drummer) and he was putting on a GREAT show, until he decided halfway through it to turn it into a fuckin' Jesusfest and preached on and on about love and forgiveness and salvation...I left after about 20 minutes and he was still going on about all God's children and some such shit...but at least his keyboard player was making for a good backing track, I guess, lol

FORD,

I need that map relabled just a bit... color-code Cali pink and call it ButtFuckistan on account of all the homos... color-code Oregon and Washington and call it TreeHugistan (I've lived in Bremerton and San Fran so I know what I'm talkin' about lol ;) ), color-code the midwest states and label them "LazyUnionWorkerstan" (I'm currently in Detroit), and label the northeast "ChappaquidiRodhamstan."

These are my instructions from BCE HQ... lmao

SIEG OIL!!!!

Nobody cares what Linda Ronstadt has to say about anything anyway besides she doesn't have hardly any fans anymore because of her own stupidity which has nothing to do with freedom of speech besides the real Hitlers so to speak these days are herself & Michael Moore.

No wonder she feels so much empathy for Moore for they do share one thing in common - FOOD! But what gets to me about these mouthing cunts is that if they hate America/Bush so much then why don't they spend some time in a real fascist junta dictatorship like South America or the Middle East. What!? No Las Vegas there? No millions of dollars to be made? No home with three illegals taking care of the indoor swimming pool?

Fuck Rondstadt & Moore in their big carbohydrate-challenged FAT asses with a big rubber dick. Then break it off and beat them to death with it. I don't need another washed-up "rock star" telling me how to think about my country all because they are bitter over losing album sales.

If that Buddy Holly-stealing FAT cunt had any REAL sympathy or concern for America then I'm sure she could give a few of her millions to the families of those GI's who were killed or put it into a scholarship fund for their children once they know daddy isn't coming back home. Exploiting our troops because you sale a record or two is just pathetic. A kid who is 19 fightening this fucked-up war has more of an right to say what he feels about this country and its current administration then some FAT cunt sucking on a chicken bone whos real concern is all about how much $$$ she's getting from her contract than a solider out there in that shithole part of the world trying to make the most from the least.

I hope her and Moore get an incurable disease and die slowly and painfully.

I get sick and tired of celebrities who think they are all knowing when it comes to politics. Like I'm going to listen to a bitch who let her backup band go solo and outsell anything she ever did 10 fold. (For those who don't know it was The Eagles.)

I also get tired of people who tell me that we in the Red States mindlessly voted for the President like a bunch of lemmings. I'm not a Nazi, or a sheep...I'm just a fucking American that voted for what I felt was right. Isn't that what we're all supposed to be doing...win or lose?

That's not always true. No one calls Bono of U2 an idiot. He has the ear of several politicians, hell even Jesse Helms respects what he has to say. Nor did they call the other Bono, Sonny Bono and idiot.

'It's Not About Charity, It's About Justice'
UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and Chancellor Gordon Brown have the opportunity to change history for the developing world. Read Bono’s speech to the UK Labour Party here.

Labour has to 'get real' in facing the challenge of global poverty, said Bono this afternoon, speaking to a packed conference hall at the annual Labour Conference in Brighton, on the English south coast.

READ THE WHOLE SPEECH AT THE END OF THIS STORY.

In an impassioned call for people to respond to the crisis of AIDS, unfair trade and unpayable debt in Africa, Bono described how his own eyes were opened to the reality of life for people in Africa with Live Aid in 1985.

And to widespread laughter, he described Tony Blair and Gordon Brown as the John Lennon and Paul McCartney of the global development stage.

'I’m fond of Tony Blair and Gordon Brown. They are kind of the John and Paul of the global development stage, in my opinion. But the point is, Lennon and McCartney changed my interior world – Blair and Brown can change the real world.'

Britain, he said, had a real chance to effect change when it took up the G8 presidency next year.

'You know, as transcendent as I’d like to think a U2 show can be, it isn’t life or death. This is. And I’ve met people whose lives will depend on the decisions taken by these two great men. They have great ideas.'

'And the promises they have already made will save hundreds of thousands of lives – if they follow through.'

Calling for more action to combat the spread of Aids and ease Africa's debt burden, Bono praised the UK government's decision to increase its contribution to the global fight against HIV/Aids - but said there was more to do.

More news on the campaign for justice in Africa here.

:) Nikki, I'm more accepting of Alice's description of Rock and politics than, say, Linda Fatass! Cooper's honesty is refreshing and funny, don't you think?

If it's ok to listen to Linda, Bono, or Babs, then it's ok to listen to my Motor City Madman and (yuck) Sammy Hagar. Or Toby Keith.

No picking and choosing. It's all of them or none of them.


You don't see Dave espousing his political views on a soapbox, do ya? No, and you won't, because the man has sense enough not to pimp his influence on fans for political gain. I wish the rest of them would follow his lead.


SING OR SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[Nickdfresh]

I'm just basing this on what I've heard about Bono. He has routinely surprise politicians, both friends and foes, with his command and knowledge of the issues. I would take his word over a lot of politicians any day.

There's a difference.

Bono hasn't just made comments at his concerts or in the press about his political causes, he's put a lot of his personal time and money and committment into them, even when it means dealing with political leaders that he doesn't exactly agree with - like the Chimp.

Sammy Hagar, Toby Keith and Dennis "suck Junior's dick to save my dead career" Miller can't make that claim. Though I will credit Alice Cooper with his commitment to charitable causes, such as his celebrity golf tournament. And if you're a rich guy living in Arizona, that's a great way to raise money.

Maybe Eddie Van Halen can become the champion for the cause to defeat mental illness. Oi Vay! See Main VH/DLR Forum for details.
