I guess Linda Ronstadt needed a publicity goose... Ronstadt Booted From Casino After 'Fahrenheit' Uproar July 19, 2004 A Las Vegas casino gave Linda Ronstadt the boot Saturday after she sparked a near-riot by praising filmmaker Michael Moore and his new anti-Bush documentary. Singing an encore at the Aladdin hotel-casino, Ronstadt called Moore a "great American patriot" and "someone who is spreading the truth" -- and encouraged everybody to see his movie "Fahrenheit 9/11." Her comments drew loud boos, and some of the 4,500 people in attendance stormed out of the theater. People also tore down her posters and tossed cocktails into the air. The president of the Aladdin, Bill Timmins, was watching the show and decided Ronstadt had to go -- for good. She wasn't even allowed back in her luxury suite and was escorted off the property. Timmins, who called the incident "a very ugly scene," said as long as he's running the Aladdin, Ronstadt won't be coming back.
