Linda Ronstadt said she'll continue to praise Michael Moore and his film Fahrenheit 9/11 despite an angry reaction at a Las Vegas concert. This is an election year," she told the Los Angeles Times Tuesday. "I want people to get their head up out of their mashed potatoes and learn something about the issues and go and vote. ... I'm not telling them how to vote. I'm saying, get information about the issues."

Ronstadt, 58, told the Times her remarks were "modest," adding: "They didn't throw me out."

"I didn't even know there was trouble," she said. " And I had already said I never want to come back."
