Ronstadt's message is well received

Three days after Linda Ronstadt was booed in Las Vegas for putting politics in
her songbook, she was cheered in Los Angeles.

Three days after Linda Ronstadt was booed in Las Vegas for putting politics in
her songbook, she was cheered in Los Angeles for keeping on message.

Ronstadt sang to a full-house Universal Amphitheatre on Tuesday night, and the
crowd reserved its longest and loudest ovation for her endorsement of
filmmaker-provocateur Michael Moore and his documentary "Fahrenheit 9/11."

Before closing her show with the song "Desperado," Ronstadt was handed a
bouquet of flowers. She asked the audience if they wanted to know who sent them
and then answered their applause: "They are from the most bravest, most
patriotic man. I'm going to dedicate this next song to him, Michael Moore."

A similar endorsement over the weekend at the Aladdin hotel-casino was met by a
harsh response from some audience members, including boos, walkouts and the
defacing of Ronstadt posters.

The casino's president, Bill Timmins, has said the singer is not welcome back,
and she has returned the sentiment.

Besides the flowers to Ronstadt, Moore also released an open letter to Timmins,
saying, "Last time I checked, Las Vegas is still in the United States," where
the 1st Amendment "gives everyone here the right to say whatever they want to say."
