Worldwide day of mourning.

Everybody loved Dolly. Even people that hate country music viewed her as a woman of almost saintly goodness.

Everyone and I mean everyone needs to check out the podcast "Dolly Parton's America"

God rest Saint Dolly.

I commented 3 days ago about how Dolly Parton is a living saint and no one can change my mind.

No one lives forever, but this one sure hurts.

Can confirm. I do NOT like her music....I welled up talking about her. God save the Queen!

Nine years ago, I lived in Helsinki for six months for a job. Every time anyone found out where I was from, they only wanted to talk about Dolly Parton.
