I've always wondered if Stevie and Linda were friendly at all. They're close in age, both from Arizona and were the two biggest female rock stars of the 70's. While Stevie is smart, fun and always had an air of mystique she seemed to be foremost a rock star. Linda is very serious and very bookish- she really has a brilliant mind. Always wanting to conquer new frontiers musically. I just read her memoir and thoroughly enjoyed it. I love them both and have seen them dozens of times throughout the years.

Luv them both. What a remarkable line up to honor Linda, long overdue. Three legends who go way back with her and two who walk in her footsteps.
With Linda's major health issues, hope she is able to enjoy this event in her life!!!! Loved her & Stevie both.
Given all of Linda and Stevie's remarkable similarities, it's strange that the two of them never seemed to have crossed paths in a professional/social sense. They are both from Arizona. They are both around the same age. They both hung around the same musical peers such as The Eagles, Waddy Wachtel, JD Souther, etc. Despite all this, Stevie has never talked about Linda Ronstadt or has even been seen in the same room as her. I wonder if they've ever met.
Great to see all these folks including Stevie coming together for a RRHOF tribute to Linda Ronstadt. Linda's long time producer Peter Asher says "it's long overdue"! http://linda-ronstadt.net/blog/#peterasher
