The real deal | The San Diego Union-Tribune : Linda Ronstadt (July 15 Feature)

The real deal | The San Diego Union-Tribune: "Linda Ronstadt says audience reaction to her nightly, on-stage tribute to filmaker Michael Moore is 'very interesting and very intense.'

Other singers may have a greater passion for music than Linda Ronstadt. But few have a greater passion for more types of music, or the willingness to perform them, even at the risk of falling on her face.

'I've done that a couple of times,' acknowledged Ronstadt with a knowing chuckle. 'But my motto in life is: You don't have to be original, you have to be authentic. "
