14 hours ago14 hr A beautiful person inside and out, a talented musician, and an outright ICON. RIP Dolly! The world needs a LOT more people like her!EDIT: my favorite....Whitney was great but has nothing on Dolly for this.... Edited 13 hours ago13 hr by skullguise
11 hours ago11 hr Here's my Dolly story. During the first Gulf War the Navy flew me and about 30 others to Bahrain on a 21 hour flight to meet our ships. They evidently only had three movies to play on the plane's big screen for either a calming influence before whatever was next, or a reminder of everything great about America. Thus a The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, 9 to 5, and [Lori Anderson as a poor man's Dolly] Stroker Ace marathon loop. Over and over. RIP Dolly. Edited 11 hours ago11 hr by blessingx
4 hours ago4 hr Legend. 😔I think what I loved about her so much is that she had a very self-aware yet positive outlook on life. This is such a lovely window into how she views herself:
1 hour ago1 hr Although I never saw Dolly Parton in concert, we were lucky enough to see Emmy Lou Harris earlier this year in Birmingham Symphony Hall (UK). At 79, she'd lost her highest notes, but she was absolutely awesome. After a couple of mumbly numbers she said to the sound mixer at the stage side "Can you please rebalance the sound, and bring my voice up" That did the trick!
