I think its a tempest in a teapot, that Ronstadt used to promote her failing career. Why it is failing I don't know, because she has a great voice.

Politically speaking, as an artist, I find her to be disingenuous. Her artistic integrity didn't extend to her insistence on playing Sun City gigs back in the South African boycott days, when she was much more popular than she is now. And that was AFTER the boycott organizers pleaded with her not to perform.
