      Her music was never my taste, but she was a legend of a person.

      Dolly Parton COVID-19 Research Fund eventually developed the Moderna COVID19 vaccine.

      “Vaccine…vaccine…VACIIIIIINE!”

        You’ve got some talent kid!

        Ever considered a career in the Country Music scene solely parodying Dolly Parton songs?

        There’s money to be made there!.. Not much, but surely a couple of dollars.

      Yeah I don’t like that style of music generally but I freaking love Dolly the person. And I can appreciate that she was very talented.

          Her amusement park is also an absolute delight.

          When it is closing time a recording of her wishing everyone a good night plays on the pa and it just feels good having her say good night.

      FYI, she released an album in 2023 called Rockstar. While it still has strong country influence, it leans more heavily towards rock and pop. Maybe it will be more to your taste. Plus, practically every track features an impressive collaboration.

        Jesus, she did a cover of Let it Be featuring Paul McCartney and Ringo? That’s wild, what a life!

        I keep meaning to check out her version of Freebird. There are those who say it rivals the original, and that’s not really possible IMO, but I’m willing to hear it out, and always meant to.

      While her roots are obviously in country music, Dolly literally wrote and collaborated on thousands of songs across several genres.
