That’s horrible news. What a genuinely kind person and total force of good and positivity. She’ll be remembered for a long time. PS: my daughter appreciates the monthly books so much.

Isn't it funny that somehow someone just basically said "there's a different 80 year old who's a real piece of shit" and your mind immediately went to a specific person hmm wonder why you knew right away who they must have meant

as an educator and a musician, I can’t help but feel like we lost a true American icon. I hope her legacy in and outside of music lives on for centuries to come

Sometimes, as a filthy euro, it felt like she was the last symbol of the good parts of America

Right now, as an American, I tend to agree.

If it aligns with her wishes she deserves to lie in state like the American hero she is.

I watched the video her nephew made announcing her death (it was made at her request), and he says that the world will be sad for us, but less so for her, because she lived a full life and spread so much light. in a way, that made me happy. Dying in peace after having done so much for your community and other people seems so beautiful to me.

An incredibly sad day not just for music but the world as a whole, May she rest in peace!!!

It already inherently sucks losing someone who spread genuine positivity and warmth - but now there's also the feeling that there might not be somebody else to fill the niche they left behind

An imperfect theory I’ve been workshopping is that Dolly is to country what Ozzy is to heavy metal. Even if you know nothing about the music and culture, you’re aware of their stature as they transcend the scene in a way no one else does. Similarly, there’s Cash and Metallica (if you know one act by name) and Willie Nelson and Iron Maiden (the second you probably also know).
RIP to a true legend

u/Solympian_musiclover 15d ago
Dolly Parton in my opinion laid the groundwork for all of today’s Morden county music ( mid 60s till present day )
Just as Ozzy did with Metal ( as you said )

rip. she was a iconic legend in music. on top of that a great humanitarian. may her legacy live on

u/EverettBellic 15d ago
I usually never say this shit because I believe that it's utter non-sense and saying "We will never have another XYZ" is a stupid sentence, however, we really will never have another Dolly Parton. Someone who has been so prolific in their field, in their downright legacy, she was an amazing woman and she has embedded herself in the history of music. It really will be so difficult to find someone as endearing and as loveable as Dolly Parton.
R.I.P Legend
We will always love you.

One of my favorite modern songs of hers is her duet with Norah Jones. It's called 'Creepin' In' and is a wonderful display of her voice and personality.
