Happy Birthday, Dolly. She is a national treasure. Maybe a global treasure? I guess that is not for me to say. I have loved her since I was about 4 or 5 years old and I will never stop loving her.
Around 1974/75 (age 14) I worked backstage at my high school when she and an entire country show played there. I was sitting in a folding chair off stage right and watching the show when she appeared. I immediately stood up and offered her my chair.
She touched me on the cheek and said, “Aren’t you cute!”
I don’t care what anyone else says, when Dolly Parton says that you’re cute, it’s official.
My dad used to assemble stages in Phoenix back in the ’70s-’80s and he met Dolly Parton Backstage a few times and he said she was the nicest person.
On the other side, he said Tina Turner was awful, She would make them build a tunnel so she would not have to see any of the people working at the venue.
He also had a pretty good story about falling asleep below the stage once before a show and being woken up by the pyrotechnics of ACDC. He said it was terrifying but it’s a good story.
76 years old today, a true American icon.

I don’t know who Jolene was, but damn she musta been a total smoke show for Dolly to worry about losing her man.

My childhood neighbor wrote this song. Went straight to #1. His mom never considered him a “star” until Dolly did a version.

She’s always been famous for her boobs, but I think she has one of the prettiest faces I’ve ever seen.

Shes taken over for betty white, even though shes been a national treasure in her own right for seemingly ever.
