Jim Fusilli thinks Linda Ronstadt should stick to singing rather than politics. “It’s too early to tell whether this controversy will re-energize Ms. Ronstadt’s career. But after seeing about a thousand rock concerts, my feeling is that rock stars who discuss politics from the stage deserve whatever criticism they get–not for speaking their minds, but for assuming they might have something to say that we need to hear from them. I figure if you’re a pop musician and you feel the need to express your politics, go try to write the next Blowin’ in the Wind.”
