I Love Dolly Parton

I had the opportunity to see Dolly Parton's Pure & Simple tour. I am not a big country music fan but I had to see her once. She was absolutely awesome. One of my favorite songs is "Jolene"

Dolly told the true story about why it was written. Seems her husband Carl Dean was doing a lot of banking when they had little money. She decided she needed to some banking too. She showed up at the bank and her husband was sitting on the loan officers desk, flirting with her. He told her that the loan officer was helping him get a loan for asphalt equipment. She told him he better get his ass home. (her words not mine)

anyway, here is my favorite song and some pics

Dolly Pardon has written a lot of notable songs including "I will Always Love You", which Whitney Houston sang in Bodyguard.

@akindheart: you left before the end of the concert??? Have you lost your mind?

@akindheart: They also took "Coat of Many Colors" and made a children's book out of it. Dolly is a capitalist and is doing well on that front.
