Linda Ronstadt was born on this day in 1946. Jesse Ventura was born exactly 5 years later. They are connected by more than their shared birthday.
Jesse was born in Minneapolis as James Janos. He went to Roosevelt High School, where he was a mediocre wrestler. He joined the Navy and became a Seal. Then he changed his name and took lots of PEDs and bought some feather boas and became a professional wrestler. Then he became mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN and then governor of the great state of Minnesota.
Linda was a very good pop singer. She dated Jerry Brown, who was governor of the nearly great state of California.
I could find no evidence that Ventura and Ronstadt ever met, but they do have at least one more thing in common: they both like Warren Zevon's songs, like this one:
I believe Ventura requested this Zevon tune at his inauguration bash:
