Dolly Parton is 100% class. One of the good ones.

She’ll let you know “it costs a lot to look this cheap.”

Imagine if all southerners were like Dolly.

TIL that Dolly Parton entered in and lost a Dolly Parton lookalike contest at some drag bar in LA in 2012

“All of these other beautiful drag queens had worked for months and weeks getting their clothes and all that, and they were dressed like me,” Parton explained in a 2012 interview. “So, I just got in the line and I just walked across [the stage] and they just thought I was some little, short gay guy. And I got the least applause, but I was just dying laughing inside. I say it’s a good thing I was a girl or I’d be a drag queen.”

I’d heard that story before, had no idea it was a drag bar

Not just an 80s country singer. One that was mocked mercilessly as a big tit bimbo for years. She came out of that kind hearted and when Unknown Hinson came after her for preaching kindness there was such a backlash that he couldn’t play shows for a while and Adult Swim fired him from Squidbillies.

The Imagination Library alone is a true blessing

the railway in dolly parton’s theme park has a higher ridership than the entire rail network in the state it’s located in, iirc

Let’s agree that next time they wanna put up a statue of a confederate general, they put one up of Dolly instead. That way, everyone wins, except the loser general.
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Many of those loser generals were self aware enough to specifically state that no statues or memorials of them should ever be made. Then Wilson came along…

The US doesn’t deserve Dolly as a national treasure, she’s a treasure of the world
In spite of the USA we have today

The president we should have had.
keepee@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We have the one we deserve, sadly
qarbone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Idk how the people that didn’t vote for this regime deserve to have this happen to them.

Spend the money on more books for kids, so we have fewer regressives in the future

All the more reason to build statues of her when we sort out some more serious problems.
I love Dolly. Her kindness and grace is an example to the world. She spent her own money to help rebuild the Gatlinburg area after fires destroyed it. She has a free program called Imagination Library that sends monthly books to children. It started regionally, and now she offers it to multiples countries.
She is so much better than the government of Tennessee. There’s a reason everyone wanted her to run for Governor.

Dolly is a national treasure.
Asswardbackaddict@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As an artist, I find this totally relatable. “Gosh, please don’t erect a statue right now. A statue sounds nice, though. I am not saying not to build me a statue. Please immortalize my likeness.”
pachrist@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I cannot imagine how hard it is to be as kind, loving, and gracious as she is, but to be surrounded by a world with so much willful anger, hate, and misery.

lowered_lifted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Shit yeah, she’s a woman after my own heart. She knows there is no need for a fuckin statue when people need help
dis_honestfamiliar@lemmy.sdf.org 1 year ago
We need more like her.
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I gotta say, given the state of Tennessee at the moment, I would not want my statue anywhere near the other icons they’re raising.
dephyre@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Everyone liked that
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 1 year ago
Goddamned saint.
Anomalocaris@lemm.ee 1 year ago
that post is even more reason to have a statue of her.
hOrni@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I wonder how will they react, given that Robert E. lee didn’t want statues.
solsangraal@lemmy.zip 1 year ago
“yes he did. yes she does.”

We don’t deserve Dolly.
