Let’s leave you with this. Dolly was asked what she’d like on her tombstone. She said, “Don’t worry—I’ll come back as a ghost and haunt you if you don’t play my music.”
At 79, she’s still writing her own rules. She’s outlived trends, hairstyles, and a dozen country stars. And she’s not stopping.
So forget the math. Forget the wrinkles. Dolly Parton is timeless. She’s not 79. She’s Dolly. And that’s a number all its own.
Now go listen to “9 to 5.” And blast it loud. She’d want that.
