Eighty years is a good run (it’s what the Ancient Egyptians expected), but it was still sad to learn about Dolly Parton’s death.
From this blog in 2022, Dollywood:
In addition to the expected terrifying rollercoasters there are a lot of music shows. One artist that you won’t hear too much, not even covers of her songs, is… Dolly Parton. She uses the park to showcase lesser-known musicians.
A great example of humility.

- “Trump orders flags at half-staff as he mourns the death of Dolly Parton” (New York Post): “This is a true loss for millions of people,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “There has never been anyone like her, and never will.” “Rest in Peace, Dolly! The World loves you.”
I never heard anybody say anything bad about her. She was so wonderful.
