Dolly
Parton,
country legend, turning down induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:
“I
really do not want votes to be split because of me, so I must respectfully bow
out. I do hope that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will understand and be
willing to consider me again—if I’m ever worthy. This has, however, inspired me
to put out a hopefully great rock ‘n’ roll album at some point in the future,
which I have always wanted to do! My husband is a total rock ‘n’ roll freak,
and has always encouraged me to do one. I wish all of the nominees good luck
and thank you again for the compliment. Rock on!”
Dolly
should be given every single award and induction, no matter what it might be.
But, when Dolly says ‘Count me out,’ count her out.
But … when the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame released their
list of nominees, they said the “diverse list” reflected artists that had a “profound
impact on the sound of youth culture” which explains the inclusion of Parton,
and so the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
will continue with voting and keep Dolly’s name on the list.

Dolly is a class act.
ReplyDeleteBravo to Schwarzenegger, though he's not as brave as that woman who stood behind the TV broadcaster in Russia with a STOP WAR poster. That was remarkable!
Arnie's great!
ReplyDeleteMadison is handicapped in so, so many ways.
Hershel Walker is one of the reasons the RNC doesn't want debates.
Rice will get re-elected.
Dolly's right. I do believe the R&R Hall of Fame has accepted her decision.
So Disney Co couldn't figure out that Florida's "Don't Say Gay" Bill is "yet another challenge to basic human rights" until their employees mounted a large and public protest? Puh-leeze.
ReplyDeleteDolly is a wonderful human being and deserves every accolade she gets (and not just for her talent, but for her humanitarianism also)!
ReplyDeleteI am not an Arnie S lover, but I was impressed both by his speech and his sincerity - very well done sir.
ReplyDelete(Dolly)
ReplyDeletexoxo :-)
Dolly Parton - a legend in her own time. As you suggest, she deserves every accolade going, She even paid for an early years reading scheme in the next steel town to us - Rotherham. If she had a meeting with Putin, the war in Ukraine would be over by teatime and Putin would come out singing, "I Will Always Love You", wearing nothing but a sequined cowboy hat.
ReplyDeletethe r&r hall of fame needs to renamed. if you look at the list of members, it really isn't about rock and roll. it's about popular music and its impact.
ReplyDeleteDolly should be running the country. Sigh. Let's all be like Dolly.
ReplyDeleteTom Rice... does one thing right. But he's still GOP and a good old white boy.
Walker is scary. But then, Georgia isn't the brightest state. Maybe it's changed... but you watch... they will go with a brand name. That's what the GOP is counting on.
Disney can rot. Until they start putting their money to better uses, F 'em.
Barr is an opportunist. Big surprise. He's also GOP - so hypocrisy and ignoring common sense comes quite naturally to him.
Agreed. Cawthorn should be in jail or at least charged with a crime. I hope his smug mug gets what he deservers.
Thanks, Arnold. Nicely said.
And thank you, Bob. Great job, as usual.
Gimpy Madison Cawthorn and his wheelchair can both rot to death and fall from the vine. Yet he goes free...only in America. And the people voting for him as just as bad and guilty.
ReplyDeleteSorry not sorry.
Dolly! Dolly! Dolly!
ReplyDeleteI love me some Dolly...I even had her vaccine for COVID....But girl!! Put down the knife. You are nipped and tucked so tight if you sneeze your wig will pop off. And you can barely talk anymore. Surprize you can still sing.
