Nashville Scene magazine has an article on the Country Music Hall of Fame's exhibition The Western Edge, which acknowledges L.A.'s country-rock scene and its role in C&W (yes, Linda is mentioned too):
"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
