Linda Ronstadt

Linda Ronstadt Tells Pompeo When He Will Be Loved

In the late '70s one of my jobs was as a dj at a gay country bar in San Francisco. I was also on the board of the Country Music Hall of Fame at the time. Then I discovered The Ramones and Patti Smith and moved on to another phase of my life. But before that I also used to interview country stars and write about them in magazines, especially Country Music Magazine, for which I was the west coast editor. I was especially a fan of fundamenta, rootsy country and of outlaw country and of country rock. Linda Ronstadt was a huge hit in the bar and I got to interview her a couple of times as well.
