Why did Tucson rename the musical hall the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall?

[Ptah]

The Tucson Convention Center Music Hall is now officially named the Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, in honor of one of Tucson’s most famous singer/songwriters. Tucson mayor Regina Romero announced the declaration at the Music Hall during the 40th annual International Mariachi Conference on May 7.

22. Perfect song to showcase her amazing emotional and vocal range.

There's been some amazing female singers, Ann Wilson, Pat Benatar, but Linda;s voice is so special, so emotionally true.

3. Why? Because she is an amazing talent with a positively spectacular voice.

Any city should be proud to have been her home.

So very apropos she gets this honor.

Does not love her.

[WheelWalker]

21. I couldn't agree with you more, comrade. She is one with her source.

I particularly love the the set and setting she brought to this concert.

16. Ronstadt bus terminal in downtown

Ronstadt music hall.

It's better than Sam Hughes everything, who helped finance, work logistics, and give political cover for a massive Native American massacre at Camp Grant in 1871.

Wasson Peak after John Wasson who used the lead up to and aftermath of the massacre to solidify his newspaper's place in Tucson.

Oury Recreation Center in downtown after William Oury, who led the massacre and stood by his actions until his death.

Safford, AZ, named after APK Safford, who turned a blind eye to the massacre and quietly approved from the governor's seat in Tucson.

17. I've always loved her. Me encanta 'Songs Of My Father,' and "La Charreada" is my favorite.

Great news. Gracias.

18. There may also be the fact that she

was born in Tucson.

19. That last high note of Blue Bayou thrills me every time.

I feel like is sets my very cells to trembling.

23. When I went to see the Stones play in Tucson many years back, Mick came out after

a break and said "I've found a lovely lady backstage to help me out on this next tune." It was
Linda and the crowd roared approval. They did a Tumbling Dice duet bumping hips together.
I still remember when she was in the Stone Poneys (sic) waaay back (an LA band with a couple of
Tucsonians. They recorded Mike Nesmith's 'A Different Drum".
Good for her, she deserves the honor.
