Kinda surprising....Linda Ronstadt, not Van Halen, caused near-riot at concert

People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.

I bet the audience wouldn't try that against Mega-Barbara Streistand! Maybe, I've been watching too much South Park?

I didn't even see the South Park episode and it sounds very funny to me!

Just a couple days ago I watched my "The Day of the Locust" DVD...I'm sure the scene at the Aladdin was quite similar.
Such a weird concept to think that you have to share political leanings with your favorite artists. I mean it would be nice, but...

This was posted a while ago over at the NRO blog:
"My wife & I were at the Linda Ronstadt performance in question, at the Aladdin in Las Vegas, and quite frankly, Aladdin President Bill Timmins' account of what happened is complete crap. There was mixed booing and cheering at Ronstadt's pro-Michael Moore comment, and that was about the extent of the "bedlam" that supposedly broke out. I saw no posters being torn down or cocktails being thrown in the air, and if people stomped out of the theatre unhappy, it was because 1) that was the last song Ronstadt performed; it was her encore; and 2) she mainly sang her standards repertoire, with the Nelson Riddle orchestrations, and a large part of the crowd wanted to hear more of her rock-'n'-roll stuff; she got the biggest round of applause for doing a lackadaisical run-through of her version of "Blue Bayou."
Frankly, my suspicion is that Timmins is way overdramatizing what happened, in order to justify giving Ronstadt the boot. It simply wasn't that big a deal."

I suspect Dennis that we might get an opposite view from someone that booed Linda.
If Timmins thinks she did not entertain the crowd as she was paid to do then I think he did the right thing. She breached his trust quite possibly.

Her career need a boost, was this her attempt to get it started again? Pathetic.
