Unusual NYT travel piece, as Lawrenece Downes tools around Linda Ronstadt's girlhood home--with the singer (and bestselling author) herself.
The ghost stories — and howling coyotes and pitch-black landscape that surrounded her family’s home — left an impression. “I am really scared of the dark.”
Actually, as we drive through the night in the Sonoran Desert, what she
really seems to be is delighted. She can’t stop laughing.
When Linda thinks of home — meaning where your soul inhabits the soil,
wherever else your body might be — it’s not Southern California, the
place forever associated with her professional life, as Queen of Rock in
the land of Byrds and Stone Poneys and Eagles. Nor is it San Francisco,
where she lives now.
