I'd sing for Republicans

Actually I agree with her about fundamentalist Christians. The average everyday, go to church once in awhile Christian would be very welcome in an audience I performed for. So would Republicans. What I heard from her statement is that a bunch of extremists fixated on her every move and sound would be an uncomfortable thought. I sympathize with that feeling.

Course if I were Linda Ronstadt, I'd be more concerned that my music sucked these days. She's lost a lost since the concerts I saw her in during the 70's where she'd blow an audience out of their seats.

Also, for you purists out there that don't think musicians should put out their politics during their songs, if I went to see Don Henley and he didn't tell of his latest cause, I'd be sorely disappointed.
