No disrespect to Dolly, but I won't be watching.

No disrespect to Dolly, but I won't be watching.

Me neither, and again no disrespect to her or her loved ones but ..... I'm pretty much tired of hearing about her. IMO, she was a celebrity, much loved it seems, and she had a really nice appropriate send off. Isn't that enough?

 

[Connie Bennett]

Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m posting the info for any folks who want to watch two hours of good music instead of all these fake YouTube videos, with all those angry faces in the glaring red & yellow banners/backgrounds.

Also, FWIW, some of the proceeds from this special go to support The Imagination Library. I doubt everyone knows what that is, but it’s been around since 1995 so google it

Dolly Parton probably did more philanthropical work than any ten entertainers combined. Setting her singing and songwriting aside, She is highly revered as a human being in Middle Tennessee & East Tennessee.

I have lived in Middle Tennessee for 23 years and have learned more positive “off the cuff” stuff about her than I thought possible. She was a giving, vibrant person.

Unlike other music genres, The country music genre honors its people whenever it can. Some more than others—Dolly Parton happens to sit on a pretty high pedestal in that regard

 

[Shirley Martin]

I don't have ABC or Disney but if it becomes available on YouTube I will watch it. She was only 5 feet tall but she a giant among entertainers in more ways than one.

I didn't like the kind of music she did, though, from what little I've heard, she did it well. It was the genre I didn't like, not the singer. She had quite the career, however.
