    Andrew Gold on guitar! From Wikipedia:
    He played a major role as multi-instrumentalist and arranger for Linda Ronstadt's breakthrough album, 1974's Heart Like a Wheel, and her next four albums. He was in her band from 1973 until 1977, and then sporadically throughout the 1980s and 1990s.

    Linda at her most accomplished. She filled stadiums and was the Queen of Rock and Roll in the 1970s. Then, she studied operetta and sang and acted on Broadway. And then American standards. And then Mexican. And then Country. As she got older, she learned, trained, practice, thought. She gained some weight. A more substantial woman with even greater power. By the time she gets to the White House, she had a half dozen careers as the leading singer in every genre in which she sang. A phenomenon. A genius.

      Probably with the early stages of parkinsons as well. She's matching what miley cyrus can do today with control and tone, and exceeding her by an octave at least. If Linda didn't have parkinsons she'd still be giving miley cyrus and gaga a run for their money.

      @THESATURNSSC1 Agreed. You have to be to get to the White House. Their general policy approach, though, was tougher on the widening income gap than any other in the last 50 years, with one notably racist regret. When you vote, vote based on what a politician says they're going to do coupled with how well they've followed through on past promises. That whittles down to their record in politics. Read up, and count your own promises kept.

    And Linda's version is fantastic, as always. If you watch some UA-cam versions of her singing this... I agree. She is better as an older woman, and that's quite a feat considering how magnificent she was in the 1970s. Best female rock or country singer there ever was

Very few in politics for decades long can resist the corruption left or right because the entire system is rotten to the core. It needs no defence or sides taken. Those in it for life on either side should be looked apon with nothing but suspicion. My father worked in the white house then the Clintons are as dirty as many claim. And she is far worse than him. She is the deviant mind he is the charisma. And he is very good at it. Its hard NOT to like his personality but he is a womenizer. some are addicted to money others drugs. For Bill its women & they come very easy because he is quite charming. For the people who know or have been around them it isn't a mystery.
