Twenty hours in and it's up to me to remind people that Dolly Parton is the full package?

  • She's got tunes, OK 'I Will Always Love You' is a bit cloying but the rumour is that she also wrote Jolene the same day
  • She supports other women. When porn star Julia Parton was around and telling people that she was Dolly's cousin, Dolly's public response was something like, 'She ain't my cousin but I can't condemn what she does... it's not like I ever tried to hide my breasts. Good luck to her.'
  • She produced Buffy The Vampire Slayer through her production company Sanddollar. She kept a low profile publicly but behind the scenes was very supportive of the show because it provided good role models for young women.
  • She funds the Dolly Parton Imagination library which mails free books to kids under five.

9 to 5 is also a socialist anthem!

She also had an awesome cameo in The Orville.

True, the only thing I remotely have an issue with is her southern revisionism restaurants.

Like what’s going with that?

Southern revisionism, it was a trade dispute not about slavery. It's not wrong really just I dunno whitewashed and myopic.
