Linda Rohstadt boo'd off stage for Moore comment
« on: July 20, 2004, 08:12:59 AM »
LAS VEGAS - Singer Linda Ronstadt (news) 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 (news - web sites).

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.

Ronstadt's antics "spoiled a wonderful evening for our guests and we had to do something about it," Timmins said.

So this juvenile reaction to a political comment is OK for you neo-clowns?

How sad.

I don't think the first amendment was ment to give her the right to communicate a personal message in a private establishment that paid her to sing.  Not to share her political views.  

If it was, than I'm heading over to my local TV station and demanding they put me on the air asap!

Yep.  My attitude would have been "I came here to hear your singing voice, not your political opinion"
Besides, she was outright LYING!
