HeadlineJul 21, 2004

Pop music singer Linda Ronstadt was fired from an engagement at the Alladin Casino in Las Vegas on Saturday after praising Michael Moore’s film “Fahrenheith 9/11.” Ronstadt dedicated her encore finale of the Eagles song “Desperado” to Moore, whom she described as a “great American patriot who is spreading the truth.” Some members of the audience booed the comment and walked out of the show while others cheered.
