A few months ago when we were speculating which artists would do Linda the honor.. I posted this video of flor de toloache. The lead singer Shae Fiol has the pipes.. she sounds like Lisa Loeb but with the power of Carrie Underwood and Linda Ronstadt. I can't wait to hear them!

They don't know her very well..if they did, they'd know her "boldness," did not come from age. (CNN)Saturday night, in one of the year's more deliciously awkward celebrity moments, singer Linda Ronstadt went head to head with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Pompeo's own turf. At a State Department event celebrating the year's Kennedy Center honorees, of which Ronstadt is one, she did away with niceties and politesse and instead told Pompeo, the evening's host and the country's most senior diplomat, exactly what she thought of him, which is not very much. Pompeo never saw it coming — although he set up the jab quite well. During his pre-dinner address, Pompeo referenced Ronstadt's 1975 hit "When Will I Be Loved." "Ms. Ronstadt," he said, "thank you and congratulations. And I will say my job, as I travel the world, I just want to know when I will be loved?" Later, when Ronstadt had the opportunity to take the microphone, she delivered her response. In front of more than 200 guests, Ronstadt, who has been an outspoken critic of the Trump administration, stood up and looked straight at Pompeo's table and said, "I'd like to say to Mr. Pompeo, who wonders when he'll be loved, it's when he stops enabling Donald Trump." It was a risky move. The politicizing of Hollywood awards events is nothing new, of course, especially in recent years. But few celebrities have taken the opportunity to issue their criticisms so directly, and so boldly. And those who have spoken out have largely done so to far safer crowds of mostly liberal celebrities: Meryl Streep's anti-Trump Golden Globes speech in 2017, for example, or Robert DeNiro's Trump takedown at the 2018 Tony Awards. The sound of her voice Watch Linda Ronstadt's rise from her early years in Tucson to her status as a music legend in CNN Films' "Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice" on January 1 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. This, however, was a government event, held at the US State Department. The audience was politically split, the award itself politically-bestowed, even as it is non-partisan in tone and tradition. And unlike Ronstadt, few Trump administration critics have had the chance to issue criticism in person. Ronstadt's remarks were unexpected not because her views of Trump weren't known, but because they were not polite. They did not follow traditional rules of decorum expected — from women, especially — at such events. It was not ladylike or demure. It was not "so grateful to be here tonight accepting this award," as so many so often are. Instead, it was honest. It was unapologetic. And it was about time. At 73, Ronstadt, who is suffering from a condition similar to Parkinson's disease and retired in 2011, can no longer sing. But she has not lost her voice. That Pompeo told the crowd he was "a big fan of Linda Ronstadt ... an icon of folk and country music" did not matter to her. What did? Speaking her truth. Her boldness may come with age, which for many can carry with it a "nothing to lose" mentality. Or it may come with the knowledge of her own power, which at this point in her life is no longer derived from pleasing others. She was not there for his, or anyone's, praise. Her career no longer depends on that. The fear of alienating audiences, or of being "unlikable" in any way, is perhaps why more female celebrities aren't similarly bold. Although a few of Ronstadt's younger, female contemporaries have spoken out against Trump — including Adele and Rihanna, who both refused to let Trump use their songs during campaigning and endorsed Hillary Clinton — famous women are, for the most part, still expected to be polite, pretty, grateful for what they are given, and always occasion-appropriate. That's one reason it took pop star Taylor Swift so long to voice her political opinion. Get our free weekly newsletter Sign up for CNN Opinion's new newsletter. Join us on Twitter and Facebook But while Ronstadt has always been known in the industry as being "difficult" simply because she did what she wanted and not what others expected, she has now earned the right to speak her mind wherever and whenever she wants — without fear of industry blowback and without concern for being a "likeable" lady. Certainly, she benefited from the fact that the public is likely to be more open to hearing such remarks from a person who speaks from time, experience and perspective — one advantage older female celebrities may have over their younger counterparts. But one lesson anyone of any age, gender or level of fame can take from Ronstadt's bold statement is that the more women use their voices, and speak their minds, the more likely doing so will become the expectation, and not the exception.

Linda has been voicing her political views all along, and this was a perfect opportunity to seize the moment. This was another reflection of her feisty, independent character with all the choices she has made throughout her life, both public and private. The tribute sounds somewhat similar to RRHOF, but it will be entertaining to watch. Nice to hear support and appreciation from the younger generation of singers who have been influenced by Linda's music. Contrary to Linda's own opinion, nobody else thinks her singing "sucked" at any point in her career!

Um, I doubt any of the regulars "here" felt this was unexpected. The only thing we weren't sure of was "when and how." We all knew the "why." Linda Ronstadt was given an opening and she took it.
Secretary Pompeo "And I will say my job, as I travel the world – I just want to know when I will be loved?"
Linda Ronstadt "Look out for my love"
There's a weight on you But you can't feel it Living like I do It's hard for you to see it Was I hurt too bad Can I show you daylight How can I be sad When I know that you might Look out for my love Look out for my love Look out for my love It's in your neighborhood I know things are gonna change But I can't say bad or good You own it You own it now You own it

Quote by PoP80:
Given that Linda has never been shy about her politics (I think she even wore an IMPEACH NIXON button at a concert she gave at USC in 1974, during the Watergate scandal), or kept her outrage to herself over what is being done by the Mango One at the Mexican border, I don't think anyone can say with a straight face that they were caught unawares by what Linda said to Pompeo. Compared to Trump's daily Twitter feed, which is consistently as vile as all-get-out, what Linda said was a mere little zinger.
As for the support from the "young'uns" that she got...well, what can you say? Maybe what James Donald's character says to the Nazi commandant at the beginning of the 1963 WW II film classic THE GREAT ESCAPE: "Well, at least it's rather nice to know you're wanted."

Neil would have been cool at the ceremony but she has worked with so many top notch musicians all of our wish lists can't be fulfilled. Great the Carrie generation is getting exposure to Linda's music and Carrie really has been supportive of her as a fan and fellow artist. eddiejinnj

I think it counts for a lot that Carrie and those of her generation, and forward, recognized that Linda was and, in many ways still is, a force of nature, and that her legacy need not spiral down a rabbit hole into oblivion simply because the media in general, and the entertainment media in particular, has such a short attention span. Linda is who she is; and I wouldn't want it to be any other way.

One of the beautiful things that makes America the shining star that she is, is the Freedom to speak and both privately & publicly criticize our elected officials. Even at a Federal awards ceremony. THIS is what America is all about. I just hate the clusterfuck shit storm that hit all over the internet as a result. Regardless of what political party one is affiliated with, we celebrate this freedom. Hats off to Linda for still being a great voice!

I’ve only seen very supportive responses from the public to Linda’s righteous putdown of that enabler Pompeo. Here are the comments in response to Variety’s coverage of the event:
LINDA: YES!!! YOU GO GIRL… THANKS, LINDA S. JOHNSON
Tina DiRienzo says: DECEMBER 9, 2019 AT 10:43 AM Way to go Linda!!!
David says: DECEMBER 9, 2019 AT 10:05 AM Here’s a link to the video of her speech :
Harold says: DECEMBER 9, 2019 AT 5:58 AM Thank you So much Linda!! You Still Rock!!
Robert 'Jack' Bernhardt says: DECEMBER 9, 2019 AT 2:30 AM Kudos for Linda’s outspoken comment. As with her music that carried me through the 70s, her comment to pompeo harmonized with my heart.
J Fry says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 11:28 PM Keep it coming Linda! You still rock!
Sheryl says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 10:45 PM Thank you very much.
GAReyes says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 10:16 PM The perfect response to a man who wonders when he’ll be loved. How dare he assume he can cite her song and cozy up to her in a cute manner when the country needs him to speak up, to testify to Trump’s crimes? This man must have gone there thinking he’d gain the respect of someone who truly has earned it. Linda shut that down fast! She’s a heroine, he’ll go down in history as an enabler of a president’s crimes.
Steve Connell says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 8:15 PM la heroína
Greg Rankin says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 7:27 PM I love this amazing woman. Always have, always will.
Lois M Winstead says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 7:03 PM Good for you, Linda Ronstadt. Thank you for speaking for me and countless others.
Myron Rosenberg says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 5:59 PM Not long after Ronstadt recorded ‘Different Drum’, I was introduced to her, around midnight at the Sunset strip apartment of music producer, Matt Katz, my cousin. Photography was a new craft for me, now my art and profession. She proposed I photograph her, which I did, in B & W at the stone house in Topanga Canyon. This was the first film I’d ever developed. i wish I had done her more justice…
Greg says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 5:52 PM I love Linda Ronstadt
Rex Craigo says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 5:35 PM LYinG SCUM. trump, his family and everyone who supports him are lying scum.
Kuran says: DECEMBER 8, 2019 AT 5:24 PM The bar is set so low we have to ooze under it. Should have been more of a “Hulk Crush Moment” but there are so few men left.
And there are plenty more positive comments. I’m thrilled that Linda was the only one with the balls to say what just about everyone in the room was thinking. Pompeo got what he deserved with the stupid “When will I be loved?” query. I’m just surprised Linda didn’t break out with a chorus of “”You’re no good...you’re no good...you’re no good!”

Dolly?
As frail as Linda is, Linda traveled to L.A. to be with Emmylou to present Dolly with her MusiCares award. Dolly has been ubiquitous lately on both Jimmy Fallon’s and Seth Meyers’ shows. Dolly has been very careful not to offend anyone politically. When her “9 to 5” co-stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin reunited with her to give out an award both Fonda and Tomlin were critical of Trump, while Dolly said nothing. Since then, Dolly distanced herself from them and their remarks. Dolly didn’t have to sing at the Kennedy Center Honors. But she could have been on stage with Emmylou to praise Linda. Dolly already received her Kennedy Center Honor.
