I’m down such a Dolly rabbit hole and it’s amazing. Such an extraordinary woman. She worked hard to get the respect she deserved by so many people. I’m listening to all her music watching a lot of interviews and just learning so much about her. I have such red for you Dolly I hope to meet her one day.

When I read your comment, I just remembered that her character’s husband’s name in “Steel Magnolias” was also Spud. I guess there’s no point in me sharing that, but it made me laugh to remember that.

[@jenncollins3255]

A national treasure! And she seems humble

[@jkn8705]

She really does radiate joy & kindness. I could watch her talk all day! So humble & hilarious. We need more videos of Dolly doing this!

[@mikkj1]

When I first saw her I wasn't much of a Country fan, but I became an instant fan of Dolly. She never took herself too seriously. She used to go on Johnny Carson and bring a bunch of blonde jokes and jokes about her bust or whatever - she thought they were hilarious. A genuinely good person.
