We would not agree on many things, and my musical tastes run a bit differently, but I much respect Dolly Parton. Her business acumen, mentorship, undeniable talent and philanthropy are much to be admired. Everything she has got has been earned by hard work.
One of my former neighbors did concert set-up for outdoor concerts. It was a Spring-Summer-Fall job and he traveled. He was one of those invisible people who rubbed elbows with the "Stars".
He said that Dolly Parton's sweet demeanor was not an act. That she was that way with everybody and it was her default setting. Of all the performers he worked for as a nameless minion, she was his absolute favorite in terms of her being pleasant even when things weren't going so well.
A classic!
