She was a vocal opponent of President GW Bush, and concert goers were not pleased. Still, like you, I don't expect my conservative views to be reflected by celebrities. I admire the work of Matt Damon, for example, but don't agree with his politics. I will still remember Ronstadt as an unusual and versatile talent, a courageous woman, and a generous one who has given money and time to many family oriented charities.<br />JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-20578465848947087512013-08-25T03:36:36.246-07:002013-08-25T03:36:36.246-07:00Yes, she showed tremendous versatility, doing Span...Yes, she showed tremendous versatility, doing Spanish albums, a big band record, and also performed in the "Pirates of Penzance", an operatic role.JaneofVirginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320442534060401465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1185219031783989911.post-89329805792889885872013-08-24T21:11:10.492-07:002013-08-24T21:11:10.492-07:00I remember a Spanish album she did back in the ear...I remember a Spanish album she did back in the early eighties.

One of the great singing voices of that time period. Unfortunately her left-leaning political views - like way too many celebrities - got her in some hot water in her later years. Yet I choose to remember her not her political leanings, but for her music and that fantastic voice. Sorry to hear that she can now only listen to it as a memory of what she once had.
