My understanding is that she, as usual, interjected some political
commentary but continued on her soap box for an extended period. Most in
the audience were starting to get restless with a specific heckler getting
her attention.

A brief comment is fine ... but the people paid to attend a music concert,
not to listen to a political speech.
This is nothing new .... she's been like this for many, many years.


Linda Ronstadt was literally run out of Las Vegas a couple of years ago for
essentially the same thing. During her show at the Aladdin Resort & Casino,
she paid considerable homage to Michael Moore. The crowd became restless
and unhappy. Included in the audience was Aladdin President Bill Timmins,
who had her escorted from the property immediately after the show. She was
escorted directly to her tour bus, told to hit the road, and her belongings
that were in her hotel suite were sent to her later. Timmins made it clear
that she was no longer welcome at the Aladdin. Timmins told Las Vegas Sun
gossip columnist Timothy McDarrah: "We live in a city where people come from
all over the world to be entertained. We hired Ms. Ronstadt as an
entertainer, not as a political activist. Whether you are politically on
the left or on the right is not the point. She went up in front of the stage
and just let it out. This was not the correct forum for that."
