Media
Linden has been praised by fellow music critics, journalist Kandia Crazy Horse told Rolling Stone that working on 2004's anthology Rip It Up: The Black Experience in Rock 'n' Roll with Linden was very gratifying.[11]
Esquire magazine's music journalist Alan Light called Linden prescient in her analysis of singer Amy Winehouse.[12]
In 2023, Linden, who in 2014 was made a member of the Rock Hall nominating committee, correctly predicted on her podcast that the 2023 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony would be held in New York City and not Cleveland.[13] The event was later held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on November 2, 2023.[14]
