So much awesome.



Splined ceiling tiles, bare F96 T12's, Linda (oh Linda) with spaghetti straps and Lee denim overalls, SR Custom Road Champion, CPSC-mandated reflectors, Dia Compe 500G sidepulls, stupid-narrow clinchers, quill pedals, painted toenails, vinyl composite tile laid in opposing direction. These are the best years of my life.

I only hope the schlub at the register got the equivalent of a selfie. Holy shit those were the days.

On CNN right now and again starting at midnight east coast time. I’ve loved her music for 40+ years!

Is she straddling a De Rosa?
Long long time 1969.
Loved from that moment.
Learning who she is has not diminished that, only earned more love.

Recorded it earlier and have watched about half of the mini-movie.
It has been both entertaining and educational about Linda Ronstadt.

I like the old-school aero wheels on bicycle above the service desk.
Seriously though, remember tire covers from way back in the day?

My early crush. Oy.

There are so many. Listen to her sing in Pirates of Penzance or this gem

OMG what a voice. One of the great things about growing up in LA in the 70s was the chance to see Linda multiple times in small venues like the troubadour.

It still is hard to believe that parkinsons has robbed the world of her voice.

[bironi]

Just watched the documentary.
Thanks for the post Richard.

[Bobqzz]

Wow, that's awesome. Just bought it and will watch tonight

When she did the collab with Riddle they played three dates live - one was in the bay Area and I went. Beautiful evening.

Anyone remember Rolling Stone #227 ?

Her voice and range was incredible. Her songs were great and popular.

If the songs were even more genre making or wildly popular, all these deserved accolades would have come even sooner.

[monadnocky]

Listen to her descant on Zevon's "Empty-Handed Heart". Just listen to it.

Listen to her descant on Zevon's "Empty-Handed Heart". Just listen to it.

That's really good.
