Well written and well spoken Linda. You are an inspiration to me and a great role model for music education.

Linda is a warm, caring person. Love those eyes at the end. Still a beautiful woman at 64.

Agree about the Robin Quivers thing, Robin's & the audience's knee-jerk reaction to Linda's concern for women and women of color (in this case Mexican singer Selena) was just wrong. Linda's always spoken her mind and introduced me to so many brilliant songwriters like Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello, Mark Goldenberg, Randy Newman, I could go on. But she does deserve to be in the snobby, ridiculous Hall of Fame but probably doesn't really care at this point.

Good for you, Linda!!!

Beautiful written and spoken, Linda. Another reason why this woman should be in the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame.

crazy is hot.

and to think Robin Quivers could only put her down with contempt on Jay Leno when Linda said she thought Robin was being used by that sleazy frat boy child's program (I speak of Mr. Stern of course). Oh yes.... I realize his fans boo'd Linda and one cld say it was none of her business. But she was sincere in her feelings of one woman to another.

that was excellent. she is such an accomplished person and great advocate for music education. there is noone in popular music who has authentically interpreted as many genres as she has. thank you linda
