I'm pretty sure that at least half of the guys my age had a huge crush on her, just like I did. She was a year younger than I was. I'm equally sure I couldn't have gotten out a single word if I actually met her.

A famous quote about Linda Ronstadt is from Willie Nelson, who said, "There are two kinds of men in this world: those who have a crush on Linda Ronstadt and those who have never heard of her"
