It must have been a great show: Linda Ronstadt on stage at the Aladdin in Las Vegas. Right up until, just before launching into "Desperado" for her encore, she dedicated the song to Michael Moore, calling him a "great American patriot ... someone who is spreading the truth," and then encouraged everyone to see the documentary, "Fahrenheit 9/11."
Some in the audience apparently doesn't so much like free speech in practice. There were boos, some stormed out of the theater, tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.
And then Aladdin President Bill Timmins locked Ronstadt out of her hotel room and ordered his security guards to escort her off the property.
Just imagine what might have happened if she'd criticized George Bush!
