Introduction
The “Queen of Rock” has lost her singing voice to a degenerative disease, but her speaking voice just let out a scream that shattered the political sound barrier. Linda Ronstadt, the doe-eyed darling of the 70s who crooned “Blue Bayou,” has morphed into a ruthless political assassin. In a move that made publicists hyperventilate and die-hard Republicans burn her vinyls, Ronstadt didn’t just criticize the 45th (and now 47th) President of the United States. She didn’t just disagree with his policy. She reached into the darkest cabinet of history and pulled out the ultimate weapon: she compared Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler.
This was not a slip of the tongue. It was a calculated, surgical strike. Ronstadt, citing her own German-American heritage and deep study of the Weimar Republic, looked at the MAGA movement and saw the Brownshirts. She explicitly stated that the “mexicans are rapists” rhetoric was identical to how Hitler demonized the Jews to consolidate power. For a celebrity of her stature—beloved by red states and blue states alike—to drop the “H-Bomb” (Hitler) is an act of career suicide. But here is the terrifying twist: Linda Ronstadt does not care.
She is a woman with nothing left to lose. Stripped of her ability to sing by Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, she has decided to use her remaining time to sound a deafening alarm. While other stars tiptoe around politics to protect their streaming numbers, Ronstadt stood on the tracks of the Trump train and refused to move. She called out the “normalization” of his behavior, warning that the chaos we see is not new; it is a historical rerun of 1930s Germany.
The backlash was instant and venomous. She was labeled a traitor, a hysterical has-been, and a radical. Yet, she doubled down, filming documentaries and giving interviews where she looked the camera in the eye and essentially told half of America they were being conned by a dictator-in-waiting. This is the story of a music legend who traded her universal popularity for a polarizing truth, burning bridges to light the way for what she believes is the salvation of democracy.
