Last week, I flew from Hilton Head Island, SC, to Palm Springs, CA. I had a brief layover in Dallas-Ft. Worth. While strolling around the airport, I noticed a window display at a book store. Right in the middle of their holiday "best of" display was Linda's "Simple Dreams"! It was proudly displayed in the front and center window of the store! While I was in the Palm Springs area, I attended a Tamale festival in the little town of Indio, which is less than ten minutes from Palm Springs. It is basically a small Mexican town even though it is in Southern CA. There were over 150 food vendors at the festival which were all offering Mexican delicacies! Most of them had their own music playing on loudspeakers. I heard Linda's Mariachi songs playing on four different vendors' sound systems! There were also four different stages set up around the festival with bands playing live music. Most of the time, they were playing top forty type of music. At one point, a young girl took over one of the stages and she belted out "Los Laureles". She was magnificent, and the audience was thrilled with her performance. At the end of her song, she thanked Linda Ronstadt for being her inspiration, and the audience went wild, jumping to their feet and literally screaming! Clearly, Linda had a legendary, heroin-like status with the audience. The mere mention of her name brought the audience, who were mostly Mexican, to a standing ovation. As a lifelong Linda fan, it made me so happy to see her receive the recognition that she so much deserves!

in the broadest of sense a dominatrix is a dominating female. so of the word is used to indicate importance it could apply somewhat imo. I think you liked the way it sounded and a good example of alliteration. eddiejinnj

This morning on KOLA 99.9 FM San Bernardino:
Casey Kasem's American Top 40: The 80s
Week ending February 9, 1980.
In her fiercest vocal performance up to that point (if not of all time), Linda enters the Top 40 (and the 1980s) with "How Do I Make You?", bowing at #35. It had entered the Hot 100 just the week before at #68, meaning it had taken a monstrous 33-point leap up, matching the similar jump that "Different Drum" had taken in late November 1967 (from #87 to #54).
Also on the chart: AMERICAN DREAM--Nitty Gritty Dirt Band w. Linda HEARTBREAKER--Pat Benatar 99--Toto THE LONG RUN--The Eagles DEJA VU--Dionne Warwick ROMEO'S TUNE--Steve Forbert REFUGEE--Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers DON'T DO ME LIKE THAT--Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers DON'T LET GO--Isaac Hayes HIM--Rupert Holmes

I requested linda today during the lunch request hour on 100.1 wjrz. I asked for something beside yng and that he mention the library of congress and said to him I know you have mentioned the hall induction. he played "when will I be loved" and restated the hall induction. I figured I would do it today as it was bring your kid to work day and a lot of businesses seem to listen to this station so I figured that a new generation can hear linda. eddiejinnj
