Christmas Greetings To Everybody Here

[erik]

To everyone here at the Linda Ronstadt Forum, here's to a Merry Christmas and what I think we all hope will be a prosperous New Year in 2015. And hopefully one day, we will all have that ultimate gift that the holiday should always be about--Peace On Earth.

In the meanwhile, here's my Christmas greeting from one of the few places (perhaps the only one) where palm trees can be juxtaposed against snow-capped mountains--"Christmas In California", performed by America, and written by the members of that band along with Linda's late, right-hand man Andrew Gold:

I ain't a Goldie for nothing(Andrew Gold(ie)). Very nice, thank you and merry Christmas.

Here is my Christmas wish to all:

Oh, here are the words in case you wish to sing along:


Today I lost my shit in a museum
It was a video installation of Linda Ronstadt
And I really miss my friends but I don’t see them
All I see is this video of Linda Ronstadt

Today the salt and sun ran down my face
After a year of hiding all my feelings
And I totally lost my shit in that museum
All from the video installation of Linda Ronstadt

I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they’re gone for now all thanks to Linda Ronstadt

I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they’re gone for now all thanks to Linda Ronstadt

And I can’t handle astounding works of beauty
I think I like my pretty pretty ugly
But the beautiful soul I witnessed in that movie
Was an entirely different kind of overwhelming
It was a dog that won’t stop barking
Like a cut that never stops bleeding
Arizona sunsets in the early evening
Or a grown man inconsolably weeping

I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they’re gone for now all thanks to Linda Ronstadt

I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they’re gone for now all thanks to Linda Ronstadt

I almost made it through a year of choking down my fears
But they’re gone for now all thanks to Linda Ronstadt
