Not only the voice but their mannerisms and even words they use /expressions... it is very freaky to me. I've noticed this for awhile too. This is beginning to make me wonder if the Bushes and Bundy had an ancestor common to both of them? I think it's possible as I had to wonder that about myself and another person I was no relation to, yet who was a dead ringer for me. That person was the ex-husband of a former coworker, who I took home one day and who had been telling me I was a ringer for her ex. I kept thinking yeah, right. But, she wanted to show me the photo of her ex, and I figured humor her. While she was looking for the photo, her (now late) daughter came home, looked at me and freaked as she thought I was her dad.The coworker brought out the photos and the resemblance was extremely eerie. Except for the fact I was ten years older than her ex, her ex and I could've been identical mirror twins separated at birth. Who the common ancestor might've been, I don't know, but I'd guess many of us are related because there are so many of us while there were so few of our ancestors. |

It was a whole different paradigm. A different world. Linda truly was a trailblazer and I was thinking the other day was there any other woman in Rock that made men go gaga like Linda? Any that were considered really hot? I couldn't think of any except for Olivia but she wasn't so much a Rocker as was Linda. To this day I can't think of any. While Madonna was a huge success she wasn't really Rock and she was more attractive to women or young girls than to men. Am I wrong? Anyone have someone else in mind that I may have missed? |

well in terms of beauty and superstar, Linda was certainly one of the hottest rock superstar singers from her era .. but there were others tambien.....Blondie's Deborah Harry and Stevie Nicks..I think Pat Benatar, little girls were more attracted to her style and take no crap tude. This dude I dated back when Madonna was popular loved her, as I recall a few of my guy friends thought Madonna was real hot... infact, the first guy. one time I had a people magazine out, and showed him a picture of Linda walking through the airport.. and her hair was growing out.(I've since looked for that photo and have never seen it again.. here or elsewhere) . probably mid to late 80's and he made a face.. lol.. I guess Linda wasn't his cup of tea....can't be a generation thing. because I will say my 2 brothers.. same age group.. thought Linda was really pretty.. could be a blonde vs brunette thing |

I guess Linda wasn't his cup of tea....can't be a generation thing. because I will say my 2 brothers.. same age group.. thought Linda was really pretty.. could be a blonde vs brunette thing There were a number of other attractive women in music back in the '70s, but none of them catch my eye quite like Linda does. I just think she had a certain unique look about her......that perfect combination of beautiful, sexy, sultry, but with a cute, innocent, little girl look. It drives me crazy. I'm sure most men felt that way. I do know some men who aren't into her. My two brothers for instance.....they're older than me.....44 and 46. I believe they think she was cute, but nothing much beyond that. And you're right......it can't be a generation thing. I have a co-worker and friend who is 22 years old. I sort of introduced him to Linda.......I burned a couple CDs for him. He loved her music and said he knew some of the songs from listening to his mom and dad's music. But he didn't know what Linda looked like. I told him to Google her, so he did. He said he saw her revealing "Hasten Down the Wind" album cover, and several other pictures from the '70s and '80s. His words: "That girl is so freakin' gorgeous! She's really hot!" So you see......she's turned on more than one generation of men. But some men do have different tastes......either you're into her or you aren't. |

Agreed with what has been said on appealing rock women, because for me, Stevie Nicks was it back in the day, with a little bit of ONJ, Benetar and Hydne thrown in! But having seen pictures of Linda and to know that that face had a great voice and wonderful songs along with it, says that Linda was more than just a pretty face. And I think that showed with her fandom, awards and records sold. It's just a drag I was late in discovering her. |

It is kind of amazing how one person can look so totally different in different photos. It is almost like Linda is a "shapeshifter." |

I just read Linda's book again (during a bout of illness) and was doing a search for her house on Rockingham Drive that she mentions quite frequently in the book. Found this site and realized I had joined it last year and forgot about it. Watched the Wonderland 2007 video clip at the start of this thread, it made me wonder if the repair to her beach house was after the storms that tore it up?
Tried to watch the link above (from Linda2006) and it has been removed from youtube. 
For the record, Carlos is still at home with Linda, he met his birth family earlier this year. His girlfriend is going away to college soon and he will be leaving home to be with HER, not to leave Linda. I try not to blab what I've learned online but this BS is just tooo much for me to be quiet!!!!!! GRRRRRR!!!!!  Oh, and he got a tattoo earlier this year with his birth AND adopted surnames! I'm not even going to look at that stupid wikipedia, let alone edit it. Sorry if I've said too much.... The mods or I'll delete it if they wish
Post-book Linda did some interviews in which she mentioned "her children", so I think it's safe to say both are still in her life. She seems to be so open minded and honest--and accepting of the choices her loved ones make (both friends and family). That attitude is woven throughout her book, and I just love that about her.

Thanks for this edit, Cornish Pirate - I got here through searching for this doc - it's so no where to be found! I used to have it in my youtube "playlist" before it got taken down - I am wondering if the fact that you made an edit of the Linda stuff might mean that you possibly have the rest of it - because I would definitely want to get that somehow! |

Linda In Wonderland
ronstadt.proboards.com/thread/401/linda-wonderlandGot the whole video here. It's unlisted on YT until I put the link up here. Got in trouble a while back with YT for posting LR SNL video, and had to take the YT copyright sensitivity course.
