Can someone explain the meaning of this image? I think it is from an Australian publication called Roadrunner from 1978.

The answer is probably contained within this:issuu.com/libuow/docs/up104_1_09__2_Possible answer is in the Malicious Gossip column where they have Linda confused with her Mother "La" Ronstadt.
After breezing through the magazine it appears to be a cynical, somewhat angry Punk publication that likes to rag on mainstream music. The back cover is your photo. Seems they are unhappy they are existing in the shadows of what's popular and corporate and they are just using that Living In The USA theme as a metaphor to strengthen their case or as an illustration to seem clever. Just my guess.

La is a feminine Spanish pronoun used I believe as an article - meaning "her" also "the one". It is strange because after 1987, I would just say that they called her that because of her Spanish recordings. I do know that Linda's mom's nickname was "La" but I forget a lot knowing her name is Ruthmary. It is just so strange they would confuse Linda' mother nickname for her. In the scheme of things, one never knows what we are going to find and read. eddiejinfl

The article seemed to be an example of a punk diatribe against 'mainstream' music; I am reminded of Elvis Costello attacking Linda for her cover of 'Alison' (which he later apologized for). I remember reading that her manager at the time, Peter Asher, kind of expected it, and was not surprised..

"La Mae West" or "La Barbra Streisand", for example, if the celeb is known for 1 name, it would be: "La Cher" but Ive never heard it with the last name, "La Ronstadt" that would be weird. lol |

Then again we are talking Australia here lol. Kind of a "weird bird" country. Then again, I spose we should have little to talk about being weird here in the USA.

On second thought, maybe the "la" is an Italian thing.... I've heard Susan Lucci referred to as "La Lucci" lol
