There has been a lot of talk and speculation about Linda Ronstadt in the last few threads. You guys are really into her.
There is no clearer indication of how old all the dudes who hang out here really are.
Well except for the Julie Newmar, Barbara Eden, Angie Dickensen, Stella Stevens and Charo posts.
Face it dudes, we are old farts.

Ouch!
That's not Linda; that's her mother!
I hope...
The more Linda Ronstadt looks like my mother, the more I look like.....my father.
I never said otherwise! In fact, I revel in my old fartdom.
But back to Linda Ronstadt. She was a bit like Barak Obama is now:
As Obama sounds smart to stupid people, Linda Ronstadt sounded like she could sing to the musically clueless.
But she looked good. Oh, did she look good.
She was cute and seemed like a lot of fun. That makes up for almost everything in pop music.
I am horrified to think she is actually older than I am. OTOH, I am relieved to think the Clintons are, too. How you feel about these facts just depends on the image you choose to focus on.
Anyway, someone should do one of those 15th century-style prints of a skeleton grabbing some middle-aged guy sitting at a laptop. I know I need something new for an avatar.
Also, we need one by R. Crumb of the Grim Reaper, pulling with his bony hands a dark-haired, go-go booted singer, with characteristic R. Crumb bottom and legs, who's resisting, holding on to the microphone stand with all her might.
Funny how the more middle-aged you get, the closer the Middle Ages seem.
I've never lied about my age here or elsewhere.
I am already planning my 50th next year with family and friends.
Natalie Wood. Never forget Natalie Wood.
Linda was smokin' hot 30+ years ago, but now she's morphed into some kind of Rosanne/Rosie nightmare. I wonder if she still roller skates?
And you guys do know that bangs take about ten years off?
Pity that bangs haven't been in for guys since the late sixties. Course you can hide an awful lot behind a baseball cap.
I saw part of an old "Leave it to Beaver" re-run yesterday and thought "Wow, June's a babe"
Yep, I'm an old fart.
Linda did the Pirates of Penzance - and she was pretty good - I liked her.
Then I found out, she was some kind of Rock star. (I wasn't one of the cool kids).
As Obama sounds smart to stupid people, Linda Ronstadt sounded like she could sing to the musically clueless.
Ouch.
throws out degree
Granted I never listened to her particularly.
Not really my kind of music.
But I loved her as a backup singer to Randy Newman. It was usually her and Emylou Harris, I think.
Old but not dead yet.
I never thought I would ever utter the words "I love being a grandpa."
I never thought I would ever utter the words "I sleep with a grandma."
Linda was smoking hot in two languages.
Angie D. never had to say a word - just the body.
