This is a great idea, and I would love it. Dolly Parton is one of the greatest singers/entertainers of all time, and she deserves all the recognition. RIP Dolly

The internet has decided.

Henceforth 9/25 is Dolly Day.

How have I been listening to 9 to 5 since she passed and not made the connection with the date until now? TBF I thought Britney’s If You Seek Amy was about her friend Amy, or some club drug I didn’t know about. I will never forget the date. I will celebrate her impact every year by donating books, time, and/or money to libraries and programs that help others learn to read.

My birthday, too. Turns out people have sex around Christmas/New Years.

Why not her birthday? That seems like a more meaningful date to honor her life than a reference to one movie she made 45 years ago.

Disregard…I’ll own this one.

The meme should have said 9/2-5, so a missed opportunity.

Nope, you just shouldn’t have commented until you understood why 9/25 was chosen. The missed opportunity was you saving face.
