Ronstadt's was upset because just a few days after Tejano singer Selena was shot to death, Stern was playing her songs on his show with gunshots sounding off over the track and mocking her mourners - considering her whole family and crew in mourning and shock and over 60,000 fans coming to grieve for her, you can understand why anyone would take some offense. I'm not easily offended and have found Stern pretty humorous on occasion, but doing that with Selena's songs hot on the heels of her murder...just no words.

1995-04-29 04:00:00 PDT Los Angeles -- An irate Linda Ronstadt told off Howard Stern's sidekick Robin Quivers and informed "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno that she barely got through her song because she was distracted and angered by his guest. Quivers, shock jock Howard Stern's co- host, was being interviewed on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" about her new book and the controversial syndicated radio show listened to by millions.
Ronstadt came out to sing a song and shortly after told Leno she could barely get through it.
"I was distracted while I was singing," Ronstadt said Thursday. "It's not my place to take issue with one of your guests, but I felt deeply upset about what she said."
Stern is known for ethnic, sexual and racial jokes, often at the expense of his guests or entire groups of people. Quivers is his foil.
It appeared Ronstadt became angry when Leno asked Stern's sidekick if she thought she should stand up for her race and gender.
"People tell me I'm supposed to, but I don't find it necessary," Quivers responded.
The audience booed Ronstadt and cheered on Stern's collaborator. Leno jumped in, telling the rowdy audience Ronstadt had a right to her view and to allow her to speak.
"I can tell you as a woman and a Mexican American I feel he (Stern) is very offensive and extremely irresponsible," Ronstadt said.
Quivers quickly came to the defense of Stern's show.
"Do you listen to the show, Linda? I think people who listen to the show understand what we're doing."
Ronstadt countered, "I don't listen to it, I can tell you." She added: "I think you're shilling for him and I think he's taking advantage of you."
Leno broke into the bantering, which lasted about five minutes.
