You probably have seen this but it in 6 minutes tells the most compelling story of what Linda means to music and the world.

Yes it is. I just wish her contemporaries in other area's of music/community were recognized like they are in the video shown. as they should be..

I think a much bigger question is (and I know I keep harping on it): When is she going to be recognized by the entire pop music establishment for her complete career achievements? It's all good and fine to point out her ethnic heritage and what it means to that particular group, but that's not all there is to Linda.

She ought to have her own movie. I was talking to a friend at work that does all of the licensing for the University and he is a big Linda fan as well. He said he just watched the Eagles documentary and said he had no idea how beautiful Linda was as a young woman. I am thinking he may have come to her career late or just has a bad memory. He said there was about 10 minutes dedicated to her in that movie. Is that true?

Quote by ronstadtfanaz: If it is, it's more time than the media has given her for any of her musical endeavors since her appearance on CBS's Sunday Morning back in 2004, when she promoted Hummin' To Myself.  |

He said there was about 10 minutes dedicated to her in that movie. Is that true? I agree there ought to be a movie, but there would probably be a few stumbling blocks. For instance, music licensing of Linda's hit songs to be in a movie on her life. One wouldn't think a music publisher could create a headache by denying a mechanical license to include a song that was one of Linda's big hits. Imagine a big hole in Linda's musical life if a license was denied for "You're No Good." Or imagine if a producer put in a few events that never happened in Linda's life. Poetic licensing. I'm assuming such a movie would be a work of fiction rather than a documentary - documentaries never do well in the theaters. But, a documentary on Linda's life would probably need more than two hours to tell her story properly, as I think one needs to tell the low points in her life as well as the high points. And then there would be Linda herself. How much money would a moviemaker have to pay her for getting the rights to tell her life story, whether it was in documentary form or as a work of fiction? And would the moviemaker allow her script approval, to object to anything which didn't happen or cast approval? I'd rather see a movie on Linda's life and music go to the theaters than wind up as a movie on VH1 or one of the tv networks. The networks and VH1 have produced movies on a few musical artists in the past, and none of them were really very good. The majority (if not all) of them sucked big time with a grade ZZZ script and low budget quality to them. I'd hate to see a movie on Linda that cost all of $20 to produce and didn't tell the story right at all. I'm not sure a big budget $100 million movie would be good either but a lot of that would depend on the cast, director, script, etc. |
