So Linda Ronstadt got in trouble with the casino who hired her for dedicating a song to Michael Moore. I think that's pretty lame, frankly. I also think it's lame that nothing was done about the audience members who reportedly
tore down concert posters and tossed cocktails into the air.
Michael Moore has weighed in on the issue here - offering a personal appearance and a free screening of Fahrenheit 9/11 as a way for the Aladdin casino to make it up to the American public. Think what you want of Moore, but he is an excellent publicist.
I'm kind of annoyed by the whole thing and decided to make a gesture. I went over to iTunes and bought a copy of the song 'Desperado' that was at the core of the whole mess. I know it's a somewhat meaningless gesture, but it was fun picking which version of the song to buy - there's at least a dozen of them aside from the Eagles' original version and Ronstadt's cover of it.
