Um, OK, calling someone a cow isn't offensive? Makes me glad to be an American, atleast we know what's rude & what's not.

HAHAHA!

I remember seeing this Leno appearance and howling at it. The following days of the Stern show were priceless entertainment. This was Stern at his ultimate peak.

It was great to listen to all the parts of this Howard chronicle and see how much of an ass Ronstadt made of herself. Boy did that audience turn on her. She violated every scrap of TV interview manners by attacking Robin, and Robin wiped the floor with her. The added irony was all the business about Sun City. I had never even known that Ronstadt played Sun City, took all that aparthied money, and never even apologized for it. Classic. And she had the nerve to chastise Robin about some out of context racism! It was so clear she had never listened to him and her reaction was kneejerk PC claptrap. Brilliant radio and a shameful comeuppance for Miss Ronstadt. I love her singing, but she stepped in it big time on this count.

Thanks for the fantastic flashback!

Howard is such a huge Stevie fan. It is too bad she will never go on his show.

The only thing Linda said to Robin was that she didn't like Howards persona. Didn't mean he had to be so rude about her. Oh, I hope Stevie's never on his show, she has class.

She also has a sense of humor.

Why did I bring this up?

I guess I just Love Linda & felt she was treated bad, lets just be thankful he's never called Stevie a 'Cow', although I've heard people call her a goat a number of times.

if i recall my ronstadt history, this was around the time that "feels like home" came out, which was supposed to be trio 2, but some issues with dolly parton kept it from being so until 99 or 2000; at any rate, interviews with ronstadt during this time would lead one to believe that she was not into her career at all -- and maybe with due reason -- her last big album was in 1989, after years of being a commercial artist. in the press, she came off as difficult and preachy, and maybe that's just where she was. but she did have a tendency to name check people, and with stern, like it tends to be, people judge without really understanding what his show is all about. i think there's a perception that one has to be a sexist pig to appreciate howard stern. and that's so beyond wrong.

but thats my 2 cents. i love ronstadt, but i am a stern die-hard, and i'm neither sexist, nor a pig.

Ok, go on, do tell... perhaps in a pm if you prefer... I'm a big Ronstadt fan - that VOICE... but I can't resist knowing!

As i was just getting out of the car about 10 minutes ago i heard Howard mentioning the Buddy Holly tribute cd. He mentioned Stevie being on it and that she does a good job. He then asked Robin if she wanted to hear it. ( then i had to get out of the car). My girlfriend will hear more and i'll post more info when i get it.

EXACTLY! i think Stevie could handle him. and i also think that Howard wouldn't do or say anything that is totally disrespectful! i mean.......she is a ROCK LEGEND and he does respect that. when rock royalty is in the building he tends to stay in his lane.

if he does ask any questions about joe or lindsey or any of stevie other men she'd prob say "well, ya know.......yeah and ummmm......welp ya know......it was the times" or some crap like that. she wouldn't say "me and joe fk'd all the time" lmao!

i say Stevie do Howard Stern...........#PAUSE........i mean Stevie do an INTERVIEW with Howard Stern!

jkmaletic · #43 08-15-2011, 10:23 AM

My GF told me Howard played a few verses of the song and said he could tell she really put her heart into it. He also said he loves Stevie Nicks. How cool!

And BA BA BOOEY to y'all!!!

Excellent! I love it when Howard does these "infomercial" - like segments on his show- just like he always does for "The Bachelor" and "True Blood." He's so good at making it sound organic and incidental. But that being said, it's cool that he singled out "Not Fade Away." I'm going to write an email to Baba Booey and insist that he try to book her while she is in town, that is, unless Hamptons Howie is on yet another vacation before Labor Day.

Eff Jackie!
