RIP Dolly Parton

[Starlord]

Again, when I moved to Tennessee, my first job was at Dollywood.

After work, I was able to enjoy the place for free like any other tourist.

TBH not a big fan of amusment parks, I've been living in Florida for 4 years now and still haven't visited Disney or universal, maybe someday i will but no rush. But maybe @Meengla may take a side quest to Dollyworld on his trip to seattle.

Understand, still searching for a video of the places in the park that make Dollywood something special to visit.

One of a kind. Peerless in her industry. Multiple generations in my household (down to one in primary school!) are saddened by this news as though she and her music somehow "belonged" to all of us.

Remarkable interview. Dolly handled this judgemental uber-frump very well.

“This chestnut ‘Dream Box’ is a repository of Dolly’s memories and wishes for the future. It will not be opened until Dolly’s 100th birthday on Jan. 19, 2046,” the note on the box reads. “The Dream Box itself is a tribute to her original mentor and uncle, Bill Owens, who has worked tirelessly to preserve the American Chestnut tree.”

The description continues, “As a final tribute, Dolly has placed a song which she has written to be released as her last. Entitled, ‘My Place in History,’ only Dolly knows its melody and content until 2046.”
