I'm sorry for all the dolly fans out there, but I have a confession... I don't care for her music.
But I will defend this woman simply because her charity work alone makes her deserving of much more.
And I know I don't even know half of what she does.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go sharpen up my torches and light my pitchforks, because ain't nobody dissing dolly Parton around me.
Most people don't like Dolly for her music. It would be hard to get so many people to agree on one artist based on their music.
But anybody saying she's a bad person is just flat wrong or just trying to stir shit.
As a non-Dolly music fan, I agree with you wholeheartedly... for now.
But later, if it comes out after she's dead, that she was secretly harvesting puppy blood in her basement or abusing handicapped kids for decades or some other crazy awful thing, I'll have to re-evaluate. And though I'm not hoping for this to be the case, it just seems like that's exactly the type of shit this timeline would do to us. Guys I think I'm losing hope for humanity. Dolly save us all.
A little bit of hope for you: people have been trying to tear Dolly down for years; if anything like what you fear existed it probably would have been dug up by now.
She's 78 years old and she's been in the public eye for almost 60 years, and she's been pretty upfront about her views and the good that she wants to do the entire time, and putting her money where her mouth is, and somehow some awful people still try to smear her and still can't find anything to smear her with.
Yep. It has nothing to do with her music and everything to do with her being an amazing person who wants to help children with her millions.
She is an incredibly prolific songwriter for other people as well. There's a decent chance you like a song she wrote that is performed by someone else - if that makes you feel any better about your sacrilege (smiley face emoji)
You may just be listening to it too fast.

I don't care for most of it that much either but as you I can't help respect her.
She was inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame but declined it because she didn't play rock and roll, then they persuaded her to accept it anyway and she got inducted. What does she do? She of course makes a rock and roll album with duets among that a good duet with Rob Halford on Bygones.
Yeah I have nothing but respect for her.
