High School Name edit
How could Linda have graduated from Catalina Foothills High School (founded in 1992)? She graduated from THE Catalina High School in the '60s... 68.110.4.112 (talk) 16:06, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Tonight Show Performance edit
To the person who questions the Stone Poneys' performance on the Tonight Show: I don't know where you got your information, but I distinctly remember seeing Linda on the Tonight Show sometime in the mid-1970's; and during the interview, Johnny said he had looked up how long it had been since she had been on the show, and it was a date in the 1960's. There is no other performance that it could have been. Shocking Blue (talk) 21:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Is there documented proof of the appearance? That would seem to be the best way to put the issue to rest. Going from personal memory smacks of personal research which is unacceptable by Wikipedia standards. With documented proof there would be no question - and it would bring the entry into acceptable credibility.THX1136 (talk) 14:20, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
The Tonight Show IMDB page for 19 April 1968 lists the Stone Ponies as guests. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6077400/?ref_=nm_flmg_slf_1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:6F02:2FF0:2029:A7C5:EA08:2B4 (talk) 03:25, 1 October 2018 (UTC)
High School / College edit
This is the second time I have seen a reference in the article to Linda's having dropped out of high school and then completing a semester at the University of Arizona. Where I come from, you finish high school first, and then go to college. Anyone know what this is all about? Shocking Blue (talk) 21:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Question on statement in first paragraph edit
The statement about Linda toying with gender roles appears to be opinion. Is there a reference to support that contention? If not, perhaps it should be removed.THX1136 (talk) 14:13, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Edit in "Hit Songs and Further Stresses" edit
I removed the word "Consistent" from the paragraph on touring in support of the 2nd album. The word seems inappropriate. "Constant" did not seem to be a good replacement either. I placed "A series of" in place of "consistent". If this seems to be an error, I would welcome a better wording.THX1136 (talk) 15:16, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Clumsy sentence in "The Stone Poneys Go on Rrecord" edit
After reforming, Cohen eventually introduced the Stone Poneys to the late Nick Venet (also known as Nik Venet) – also at the Troubadour – who signed the band to Capitol Records in the summer of 1966.
Who was at the Troubadour? Cohen? Venet? The band? I am tempted to remove "also at the Troubadour" but feel the point being made was that the introduction was made at that location. Perhaps I'm being silly, but the sentence is clumsy. Input anyone?THX1136 (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Edit in Official Capitol Releases edit
I removed the phrase "45 years ago" from this sentence - "The song has been a staple on oldies radio ever since and remains one of Linda Ronstadt's most popular recordings." It seemed inappropriate and tacked on. Also, ten years from now 45 will be 55. I feel the reader can do the math, so to speak.THX1136 (talk) 15:42, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Stone Pony Club section edit
Wondering if this section should be deleted altogether as it has no relation to the band and states as much in the section itself? Thoughts?THX1136 (talk) 15:59, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Senseless sentence edit
"Their (misspelled) name came from Delta Blues singer Charley Patton's 1929 song "The Stone Pony Blues" (also known as "Pony Blues").[3]" This makes no sense, because "Pony Blues" is spelled correctly. There is also no copyright on song titles, and no reason to avoid using a song title to name a band, and thus no reason to misspell "Pony". The sentence fails to explain why they misspelled the word.77Mike77 (talk) 10:15, 19 September 2018 (UTC)
