Linda Ronstadt has Parkinsons disease

[Wyatt Burp]

Linda Ronsdadt always fit right in with my obsession since Kindergarten with rather petite brunette women ,usually latina, with big brown eyes and round faces. Like this girl below who I married two years after this picture was taken in 1988. See the connection? But I love Linda Ronstadt's voice regardless of all that.

Wyatt, your wife is a beautiful woman and you are a lucky man. Her sixshooters are bigger than her, almost. Can she shoot?

So sorry to hear this news. I've seen her several times and have to say that she could put a chill up your spine with that voice.

She was one of the early members of Country - Rock, a sound I
have always loved. I hope she get's better and can one day sing
again. Goose

She shoots pretty good when she does shoot which isn't often. These Colts look giant there because she's only 4' 11", but she did real good once not flinching at all shooting a Colt SAA .45 with 8 grains of Unique and a 255 lead bullet.
Here's another great song by that other round faced brown eyed cutie pie, Linda Ronstadt. This is kind of sad, but powerful song of hers I've always liked.

I have enjoyed the U tube videos of some of Linda Ronstadt's songs. I am listening to every wax and cd I have of her tonight. As I mentioned above, I have been in love with her since 1969. I won't argue with the above post reference Hopi Native American background. However, my understanding is that her heritage is German and her people immigrated to Mexico and then on to the US, hence the name Ronstadt. If I am correct, she grew up in the Tuscan, AZ area and her brother was in Law Enforcement in the area and was a Deputy Sheriff and maybe Sheriff of the county wherein is Tuscan. Still a beautiful Lady, and I am still in love. My prayers go to her.

Damned shame.

Love her music and sad to hear this. 15 or 20 years ago she got this disease as well:

Hashimoto's thyroiditis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Now hit with another one.

 

[Kanewpadle]

I met her over thirty years ago when I was stationed in California. My supervisors wife and Linda were high school buddies.

She was very nice and down to earth.

Wish her the best.

Maybe Michael J. Fox will clue her in on the benefits of using cannabis?

""Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and HIV dementia."

Part of the claims in Patent # 6630507.
The patent was obtained in October of 2003...
by the UNITED STATES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT!

Very much enjoyed Linda Ronstadt's singing. Still do. Enjoy her rock songs. And... "What's New?," etc. that she did w/ Nelson Riddle.

Disease is no respecter of persons. Sorry to see her have to deal with this stuff. It's rough. May God bless her and her family.

If I am correct, she grew up in the Tuscan, AZ area and her brother was in Law Enforcement in the area and was a Deputy Sheriff and maybe Sheriff of the county wherein is Tuscan.

From 1981 to 1992, her brother Peter Ronstadt served as Tucson's chief of police. His cousin Jim Ronstadt still heads the city's Parks and Recreation Department.
