Being a progressive who loves country music must really suck. Like, while it's easy to tell what a country artist's political views are like in their songs, you still gotta do more looking into any artist who catches your attention to make sure you're not about to support a conservative shithead.

Can’t wrap my head around Dolly Parton’s death. She was such a larger than life figure that she somehow seemed immune to age and time. In 2014, she confesssed she felt the same: “I'm 16 in some ways. A hopeless romantic! But I'm 35 in my spirit and in my mind.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/enterta...

My thoughts about Dolly Parton. Such an amazing woman, singer/songwriter, actress and iconic artist of the world! 🎶 I remember hearing her songs on the radio as a teen. "Heartbreaker" is a favorite, and "I Really Got the Feeling". I love her 80s music too, like "Don't Call it Love". 🎵 #musicislife

Dolly Parton made originality look effortless, ambition look joyful, and generosity look natural. It's hard to think of any American in my lifetime other than Fred Rogers who was this universally loved and admired. www.thebulwark.com/p/dolly-part...

It's rare that you can say someone is the most important singer in a genre, because things are so varied. It could be Michael, Madonna, Britney or Taylor for pop. Rock's a wide open field. Rap's a constant debate. Theatre evolves. Dolly Parton is the most important country singer in human history.

New TIME cover just dropped: Dolly Parton, 1946 - 2026 “The last time I saw her, she told me she was planning a comedy album. She also said that…she’d recorded many more songs of hope she’d put away in a vault, to be released throughout the hundred years following her death.”
