“She really doesn’t mind,” Asher says. “She’s totally grown-up about awards and that sort of thing. Her reaction is, ‘Thank you. That’s very nice.’ My reaction is, I always thought she should be in there. When certain people got in, before Linda, I was kind of outraged.
“I’ve been a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame voter from the very beginning and I’ve been to all of [induction ceremonies], so my feeling is — right, being grown-up about them is important, but as long as there is such a thing as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Linda should bloody well be in it, and now she is,” he adds. “All is well in the world. I’m very glad she’s in.”

Health is the primary reason Linda Ronstadt will not be attending next week’s 29th Annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Brooklyn. But, the singer tells Billboard, she’s really not all that chuffed about missing it.
“I haven’t given it one thought, I have to say,” Ronstadt says. “It wasn’t anything I ever thought about. I never thought of myself as a rock’ n’ roll singer; I sang it, (but) it’s just one of the things I sang. I sang a lot of different stuff. I didn’t go the last two times I was nominated for a Grammy, either. I don’t have anything against it; you just don’t do things for those reasons. If you’re working for prizes, you’re in trouble. There’s nothing wrong with it. I don’t mind it. It’s just not anything I ever gave a thought to.”
Ronstadt added that she hasn’t spoken with anyone from the Rock Hall herself, quipping, “I don’t think they have my number.”

Excerpt from an interview with Johnette Napolitano Written by Marc Farr
“Linda Ronstadt. It really, really affected me when I heard she could no longer sing, and I’m covering her on this tour. She was a huge influence on me. I saw her in the 70’s, when she wore that little Boy Scout uniform—San Diego Sports Arena—I went right to the thrift store and got a Boy Scout uniform! I wore it for a year. So, if I am going to cite anyone as an influence as a singer. I also don’t think people appreciate how technically amazing she is as a singer, and how studied she is. She would say things about music. I mean, she was a scientist about it. I remember reading an interview when she said something about how difficult rock is. That you basically take up the same space as the guitar. She went on to such brilliant work, like Nelson Riddle. I’d love to do something like that.”
