Linda Ronstadt-Don Lane Show 27th October 1983

Linda is interviewed via satellite on Don Lane's Australian Variety Show talking about her What's New album before paying out on the American media. A very candid Linda and delightful to watch!

[@dan_hitchman007]

Linda was and still is... a very, very sharp cookie.

There will NEVER be another like her... Supreme talent , gorgeous , super smart and down to earth.... WHAT A WOMAN !

[@MitchellWilkinson-m8n]

This was once of Linda's best interviews in which she was confident, humorous and defined herself with this music album project. Thanks Don Lane for following Linda so astutely as it was a pivotal time in Linda's career to sing beautiful lush big band ballads.

[@yerri1622]

She is a Great person, so extremely talented & humble. She is so intelligent and caring about humanity. Her voice was so rare. It was so special that we got to hear it..for she might never have had the chance to share this gift with us. I feel truly blessed to keep playing her CD's on my work commute. It helps me have a pleasant ride. ThankYou sweet Linda.

[@H-mu4bo]

Love seeing Linda speaking her mind and getting fired up. Don clumsily poked the bear by accusing her for being controversial and unwittingly unleashed Linda to make a wonderful lively and entertaining interview. Another reason to love Linda, besides her natural beauty, and the most pure expressive voice in pop music. She really is a once off, no one has matched her style since.

[@eduardogutierrez7570]

And that Spanish album she was talking about making in this interview became the best selling Spanish album of all time! Record still stands in 2020! Linda, your legend and legacy will live on way past your life here on earth! ❤️

When Linda accepted an invite & appeared on Jay Leno, he asked her about the Spanish album. While Linda was describing how she sang to enunciate the words in the songs, Leno: interrupted her, mocked, humiliated & insulted Linda. Leno never provided Linda basic courtesies expected of a talk-show host, never gave her time to finish answering the question. Leno wld never have treated a MALE solo singer or rock band lead singer w/ such blatant, intended insults. Leno-- I never have had & never will hv civil comments or an acceptable opinion about Leno. His non-verbal message remains: hey jealous of beautiful women, who are superior Artists, in THEIR O W N rightful Domain.

This woman has no fear -- I realized that from watching/reading many interviews with her. She has always said whatever she wanted, never sugarcoated it -- politics, 9/11, immigration laws, religion. And the way she has faced her health issues -- again, no fear. She has never pitied herself, and extraordinarily, she manages to completely accept her reality but not be beaten by it. I admire her so much.

...a musical preservationist and scholar. Even though she can no longer sing, I hope she has the physical strength to continue to share her musical experiences and enlighten us. I was a casual consumer of music in the 70's (had her greatest hits album and being a "young old-timer" embraced her Nelson Riddle adventure), but as a result of the documentary out now and the reading of her 2013 musical memoir, she has broadened my musical horizons and introduced me to musicians, songwriters, and other vocal artists whose gifts and contributions would have stayed hidden to me. I'm even hoping to go see Jimmy Webb (Adios, Still Within the Sound of My Voice) in November at a reboot of My Father's Place in Roslyn, NY, a club at which Ms. Ronstadt appeared in '74 (There's a wonderful audio of this performance on KZbin as it was broadcast live on a local radio station.). Ms. Ronstadt and I would probably draw different conclusions on a variety of topics, but I so admire her intellectual honesty, her complete lack of artifice and hypocrisy, and most importantly her respect and reverence for those who came before her‐all evidenced in this interview. Her earnestness, vigilance and single- mindedness in unearthing music from different eras and cultures and showcasing them in the best possible light is so admirable and inspiring. The twilight of her life is now like its dawn-parked near a "radio" devouring music, music, music. Her peripatetic life in-between was something to behold: she did not waste a moment, a note, or a chance to collaborate with other talented, serious, and beauty-seeking artists. I don't know Ms. Ronstadt's religious beliefs, but for me her gifts and discipline and devotion to expressing them embodied the sacred and divine. I ask God to bless her, her family, and her caregivers and be near to her in ways that bring her comfort... in the way the realization of her "simple dream" has done for me.

When I saw some of this interview in the documentary about her, I thought the same thing. I came here to see if I could find the interview and of course here it is. Having watched it again, I think she's engaging in a false equivalency here. Certainly there is racism in the United States and the other places she mentioned. However, that racism is not an official government policy as it was in South Africa. So it's not the same thing. The controversy wasn't about playing in a place with racism, it was about playing in a place where racism was official government policy.

She just paid attention to the TV(which was much more responsible, then) and read newspapers and books. What's going on these days hasn't changed much; but the media has been changed into tabloid form, as the host says about Murdock's "empire." The problem is that people expect this tabloid view for all of their TV fare; and the old media outlets try to get back some of their former glory(and respectability) back, while the Fox machine grinds out more comic-book style "News!
