DOLLY Eighty years old. One of twelve children in a cabin in the Smokies, born to people she called dirt poor, and she leaves behind a body of work almost nobody in American music can touch. I am not going to write a discography. Everybody knows the songs. I want to talk about the business, because Dolly Parton was the shrewdest operator Nashville ever produced and nobody noticed because she let them look at the wigs instead. She started her own publishing company in 1967. Nineteen sixty seven. A twenty one year old woman from Sevier County who understood, before almost anybody, that the money is not in singing the song. It is in owning it. Then Elvis Presley wanted to record I Will Always Love You. Colonel Parker's people said the standard arrangement, half the publishing. She said no. To Elvis. At the height of Elvis. She cried about it, and she said no, and she kept the rights. Twenty years later Whitney Houston recorded it for The Bodyguard and it became one of the biggest selling singles in the history of recorded music, and every cent of that songwriting money went to a woman who had held the line in a room where she was the only person without leverage. That is the whole story. She spent her career letting people underestimate her and then owning everything they wanted. She wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You in the same twenty four hours. That is not a career. That is a strike of lightning that hit twice in one day. She built a theme park in Appalachia that became the economic engine of her home county. She gave away a hundred and fifty million books through the Imagination Library because her father could not read. She wrote 9 to 5 on set, on the back of her acrylic nails, using them as a washboard for the rhythm. That percussion in the recording is her nails. She kept the take. She would not curse and would not make fun of Jesus, and she made a raunchier joke than anybody on the network. And she refused, her entire life, to tell you who she voted for. She said she had too many fans on both sides of the fence. In a country that has spent a decade sorting everybody into teams, one woman declined, and every single person still claimed her. She was married to Carl Dean for nearly sixty years. He paved roads, avoided cameras, and died last year. She wrote Jolene about a bank teller who flirted with him. Rest easy, Dolly. You were the smartest person in every room you ever walked into, and you let them think you were not, and you got everything. 🦋

A golden night indeed

If you are a US Citizen and you aren’t rooting for USA against Belgium, you are a traitor. No other way to put it. You can’t be trusted if you are rooting against your own country in the World Cup.

Mickey Loomis to Alvin Kamara when Gayle was doing his job and firing DA. #Saints #Whodat

YESSIRRR⚜️🙌🏼 let’s work

Which NFL starting QB do you think Maye be overrated? #NFL

My bracket is still perfect.

Nearly a perfect first 2 days of free agency for the #Saints. They have already greatly reduced the number of “needs” on the roster without sacrificing future cap situations and without overpaying for aging veterans. I couldn’t be much happier. #WhoDat

Make it happen, Loomis!

The haters said the Patriots were frauds and couldn’t do it. They were correct. Honestly, great call by the haters.

All tms need domes!!

Boo NFL.

Jameis really seems like the best teammate in the NFL

Will Tyler Shough (2027-2028) be the third? #WhoDat #Saints

Me tomorrow if I’m the Lions fan that DK hit in the face. @JHartman_PIT

Pretty special day in history, guys. Our very own @Jay_lefty of @DomePatrolUK won his school talent show on this day 30 years ago. #WhoDat
