LAS VEGAS - Singer Linda Ronstadt (news) not only got booed, she got the boot after lauding filmmaker Michael Moore and his new movie "Fahrenheit 9/11" during a performance at the Aladdin hotel-casino.

Before singing "Desperado" for an encore Saturday night, the 58-year-old rocker called Moore a "great American patriot" and "someone who is spreading the truth." She also encouraged everybody to see the documentary about President Bush (news - web sites).

Ronstadt's comments drew loud boos and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.

"It was a very ugly scene," Aladdin President Bill Timmins told The Associated Press. "She praised him and all of a sudden all bedlam broke loose."

Timmins, who is British and was watching the show, decided Ronstadt had to go — for good. Timmins said he didn't allow Ronstadt back in her luxury suite and she was escorted off the property.

Ronstadt's antics "spoiled a wonderful evening for our guests and we had to do something about it," Timmins said.

Timmins said it was the first time he sent a performer packing.

"As long as I'm here, she's not going to play," Timmins said.

Ronstadt had been booked to play the Aladdin for only one show.

Calls to Ronstadt's manager were not immediately returned.

In an interview with the Las Vegas Review-Journal before the show, Ronstadt said "I keep hoping that if I'm annoying enough to them, they won't hire me back."

Looks like she got her wish.

Free speech not only entitles you to say what you like, but for those who disagree with you to speak out as well.

You do not have a "right" to have concerts, you don't have a "right" to sell albums, and your employer may indeed fire you, If you think that's wrong, go to work Monday and tell your boss to kiss your ass and see if your "free speech rights" result in a backlash.

These morons seem to believe the public backlashes against their stupid views are being orchestrated by the Bush administration, as though that's the only way it could happen.

Being escorted off stage because you encourage someone to go see a movie, how will you categorize that.. ?

I think the whole episode is hilarious.  Also, the whole 'freedom of speech' thing is rediculous.  She *HAS freedom of speech.  The government didn't do a fucking thing to her.  "CONGRESS SHALL MAKE NO LAW".  Read the shit before you just go around throwing the words around like you wrote it yourself. 

I dunno about you, but the last time I looked, I didn't see the Hotel Manager @ the Aladdin's name anywhere on the Bill of Rights.  I DONT BELIEVE he signed it.  So I don't see how he's held to it? 

If I'm your boss... and you say something I don't like... I may or may not fire your ass.  If I wanna be a prick about it, I may not let you back in your room before you go. 


Scenario. 







---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Say you're a construction worker, and you work for me.  I drove you to Virginia, we're up there digging a ditch for somebody.  As you're standing in the ditch, you say "You know; that guy that doesn't like your brother, Ronnie... I agree with him.  He's spreading the truth, everybody should listen to what he has to say". 

What am I going to do? Allow you your freedom of speech? Hell no.  I'm probably gonna fire you, and if I'm feeling like an ass, I'm not even gonna give you a ride back home.  Why? .. because I can.  I have the freedom to do that if I want. 

I don't understand how that's such a hard concept to grasp.


With all that said, I think the manager over-reacted a little bit, I probably wouldn't have fired her, and I would have let her back in her room, regardless.  There's probably more here than we've heard, folks... for instance, she said before hand she was trying to get them annoyed at her, so they wouldn't hire her back, or whatever... there must have been words before hand, and the manager already was pissed at her, I'd bet money on it.

How? It's not edited out on BET. I haven't heard it on the radio, but so what if they do edit it out? It's a company trying to minimize potential trouble. This isn't a freedom of speech subject. By the way, Jada is a fucking moron for that line. I'll accept Bush knocking down the Towers... in exchange for him taking the blame for every school shooting thanks to his music. Thats the same kind of logic he's using.

I wouldn't call it censorship. It doesn't even fit into the same category. Did the government step in and tell her not to say something or else she would face consequences? Nope. She chose to politicize her concert, and the owners of the venue chose not to accept it.

Jome, You really can't be comparing the two can you? 8 mile is a movie about a rapper. Entertainment. the moore movie is a highly political flick that obviously a lot of people don't agree with.

"Ms Ronstadt was hired to entertain the guests of the Aladdin, not to espouse her political views. In an effort to defuse the situation, Linda Ronstadt was asked to leave the property immediately following her performance,"

I wouldn't be stupid enough to make remarks like that. If I was an entertainer, I'd do just that: entertain. People don't like me for my political views, they like me for my songs.

Did you just say Michael more was Un-biased?

Have you even seen his movie? Have you seen any of his movies? Moor himself admits he's one of the most biased people out there.

Don't misquote me, I said Moore is entertaining, not that he is non-biased.
I have seen his movies, he's pretty funny.. I'd also say he's so idealistic that it makes him biased, but that's good in one way imo.. he stands for what he believes in.

So, people countering your opinion with their own, differing, opinion and speaking with their check books is censorship? Nope. It's not censorship just because you misread your audience.  When the GOVERNMENT says you can't do something under penalty of law, that's censorship. When private actors level sanctions/boycotts against other private actors, that's freedom of association

sure, the hotel could fire her - but to escort her off the property like a criminal, not even allowing her to go to her hotel room and collect her belongings - thats something else.

u tell me to go up to my boss and tell him to kiss my ass - thats nothing like this situation - she didnt insult anyone, she never said anything bad about the hotel or her fans attending the concert. all the fuck she did is say she liked a movie and dedicated a song to Michael Moore - it isnt offending anyone, it isnt being rude.

and even if freedom of speech doesnt cover this, no one answered the question why an artist should get punished for speaking her mind?

Censorship is the use of state or group power to control freedom of expression. Censorship 'criminalizes' certain actions or the communication of such actions - or suggested communications of such actions.

She was being c-e-n-s-o-r-e-d.

Quote
Main Entry: freedom of speech
: the right to express information, ideas, and opinions free of government restrictions based on content and subject only to reasonable limitations (as the power of the government to avoid a clear and present danger) esp. as guaranteed by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution

Obviously, since this is a U.S. dictionary, the term "freedom of speech" is defined different in U.S. than in other countries.
It's written in the constitution, so this was not the case in Linda's case.

Comprende.. ?
When MTV removes cuss-words or political opinions like Jada's line, it's censorship.
If NBC had removed Janet's titty from the screen or blanked it out, it's censorship.
You do NOT have to the government to be able to censor something, bottom line.


Censorship is the use of state or group power to control freedom of expression.

Get a better dictionary.

i agree with Jome - according to the definition of censorship, the hotel would have been censoring - if they actually did anything. sounds like the story has been exaggerated and the hotel never escorted her like a common criminal, i just read this:

Singer Linda Ronstadt says that she will continue to urge her audiences to see Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 despite the uproar that ensued when she did so Saturday night at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas. In an interview with today's (Wednesday) Los Angeles Times, which described her as "a longtime liberal activist," Ronstadt said that she has been making her remarks about the Moore film at every concert and each time drawing a mixture of hisses and hurrahs. "I've done this all across the country, and I'm telling you, it's like my independent poll. I have never seen a [polarized] reaction like this in all my years of touring." Ronstadt also told the Times that reports that the Aladdin management threw her out of the building after her performance were exaggerated. "They didn't throw me out. I didn't even know there was trouble. I didn't know they were mad," she said.
