Barr Chords: Those weren’t jeers but cheers for comedian Roseanne Barr, who revved up her singing voice at a morale-boosting show for those left behind by Operation Desert Shield. The star of TV’s “Roseanne” gave a free performance to about 800 Marines, spouses and children at the sprawling Marine Corps Air-Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms on Wednesday night. Barr launched into an ear-splitting medley of “I Am Woman,” “Mandy,” “Amazing Grace” and “Stand By Your Man.” For the men in the audience, she sang, “To Sir With Love.” The base serves as a desert training center for troops bound for the Persian Gulf.
