Selena Gomez to play Linda Ronstadt in new biopic

The ones people have already posted are great essentials, but she has a lot (srry this is probably way more than you wanted :wink: ):

Not her big hits but great stuff:

Besides her talent Ronstadt just always seemed to have a knack for knowing how to pick great songs.

ETA: shows how long it took to compose this post that the one above got to the Stone Ponys before)

My memory as a grade schooler in the 70s was that, similar to The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac, she suffered something of a backlash from being sooooo popular, and especially being associated with The Eagles and country-rock which certain sorts considered deeply un-cool.

It’s ok Linda, we forgive you for your role in helping form The Eagles :rofl:

I’ve been doing a deep dive into The Monkees recently, and WOW, what a bizarre, unique, and wonderful phenomenon they were. Despite the committee approach to making their music, there’s not a bad song in the bunch (the predigree of their songwriters - for the songs they didn’t write themselves, that is - is astonishing), each of the guys had off-the-charts charisma, and the show was groundbreaking, amazing to watch even today - especially season two, which went into who-gives-a-shit-let’s-try-it territory that I’ve never seen any TV show since attempt.

I will brook no criticism of the so-called “Pre-fab Four.” :slight_smile:
