Huh? Ok, I don't get it but I thought it was funny. Cows are funny in general. Linda did play the cowbells on a song or two. She also had a pet cow named Luna at one time.
cow bells like Linda Ronstadt

From Linda Ronstadt and Robert Redford to James Galway and Robin Williams: The Box of Interview Tapes

When Gary Shandling died recently, I found myself thinking about his wonderful The Larry Sanders Show. But then,suddenly, Hey, didn’t I interview him? popped into my brainpan. I was a busy boy back then doing the journalism thing, and writing about the famous, semi-famous and not-quite-yet famous at such a rapid clip that I moved on quickly to the next. Had I really interviewed Shandling, or was that some celebrity fever dream?
That’s when I remembered the big plastic box of cassette and micro-cassette interview tapes that I hadn’t been able to part with. I found the box and pulled off the lid. Stacks of tapes stared back, more than 100 of them. Would Shandling be in there? I’d have to burrow in to find out.
Right on top were cassettes labeled “Ronstadt,” and that set my mind wandering back to a 1980s sit-down with the well-famous singer. It had occurred in the office of her manager, Peter Asher, which was on Doheny Drive in West Hollywood right around the corner from The Troubadour, the seminal music club where Linda had started her climb to renown. I had seen her perform there, barefoot on stage, several times. In the interview, I remember her telling me that she had moved to Marin County in Northern California and had a cow there named Luna. She was dating some governor. Some things you never forget.

Linda Ronstadt on her Parkinson's disease: 'I can't sing at all'

Last week came the very sad news that Grammy-and-Emmy-award-winning singer Linda Ronstadt can no longer sing as a result of her Parkinson’s disease. Ronstadt was diagnosed eight months ago. She shared her diagnosis in an interview with AARP Magazine.
In her chat with writer Alanna Nash, we learn more about Ronstadt’s first signs of Parkinson’s, her famous friends (like George Lucas), her pet cow, and details from her upcoming biography, Simple Dreams, to be released on Sept. 17.
Her voice was the first to go
“In fact I couldn’t sing for the last five or six years I appeared on stage, but I kept trying. I kept thinking, ‘What if I tried singing upside down? Or standing on my head? Or while juggling? [Laughs] Maybe I’d be able to sing better then.’ So I didn’t know why I couldn’t sing — all I knew was that it was muscular, or mechanical. Then, when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, I was finally given the reason.”
Ronstadt thinks her pet cow may be to blame for her Parkinson’s
“Oh, Luna! Yeah, I loved her — she was such a nice old girl — but I got a tick from her, and that’s probably why I’m sick.”
“They’re saying now they think there’s a relationship between tick bites and Parkinson’s disease — that a virus can switch on a gene, or cause neurodegeneration. So I can’t sing at all.”
She found out she had Parkinson’s while penning her autobiography
“About eight months ago — just when I was writing the acknowledgments for the book, actually. I got the initial diagnosis, but they didn’t confirm it until six months later. I didn’t want to write about it in the book, because I wasn’t sure.”
And it was a total surprise
“So when I finally went to a neurologist and he said, “Oh, you have Parkinson’s disease,” I was completely shocked. I was totally surprised. I wouldn’t have suspected that in a million, billion years.”
