STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Winding up her summer tour across Europe, Bonnie Raitt drew thunderous applause at the Stockholm Jazz Festival for dedicating a classic to President George Bush.

"We're gonna sing this for George Bush because he's out of here, people!" Raitt crowed Tuesday night before she launched into the opening licks of "Your Good Thing (Is About to End)," a cover that was featured on her 1979 album, "The Glow."

Good for Bonnie!!!

I'll never forget when I saw her (uh, years ago) and she introduced the next number with "it's time to push a good thing further in...."

4. She is a rebel. Gotta give her that.

All the rest of the celebrities jump on one bandwagon. She went the other way. Gotta respect her for that.

5. Good for her but the song is not the best choice.

The "Is About to End" part is fine but what could possibly be considered a "Good Thing" about the Bush administration?

9. I have always loved Bonnie.

Her piano player, Jon Cleary, is one of the funkiest people on the face of the Earth.

Now I have another reason to love her.
