Finally, the miracle we've all been waiting for has happened. The Queen of Rock has earned her rightful place in music history and will be rewarded for her extraordinary career.
The powers-that-be at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame have finally recognized what has been in front of their faces all along. On April 10, singing superstar Linda Ronstadt will finally be inducted at a ceremony at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Joining Ronstadt for the class of 2014 are Daryl Hall & John Oates, Peter Gabriel, Cat Stevens, Kiss, and Nirvana.
While I am thrilled that Linda is at long last getting her due, I am saddened that it took so long for her get in. If I could've had it my way, and I'm most definitely sure I'm not alone in feeling this way, Linda would've been inducted in 1998, when her original back-up band, the Eagles were honored. This woman deserves a lot of credit for helping to form possibly the greatest American rock band ever. But Linda did quite well all on her own. She has mastered more musical genres than any other artist I can think of.
Besides being an incredible singer and performer, Linda has always impressed me as a person as well. Being a great fan and admirer of hers, I may be a little biased. But to me, Linda is the perfect example of what a human being should be. She has all the qualities that have made her so loved for so many years by so many fans. She is beautiful, intelligent, talented, warm, genuine, modest, and sincere. Despite her struggle with Parkinson's Disease, I truly hope that Linda will be able to attend the induction ceremony and bring some class and grace to an organization that is in dire need.
