I don’t do it but I “get” it. For the last oh I don’t know- ever? Americans don’t give a shit about anything until a celebrity dies, and days later they no longer give a fuck. When I was in my 20s (dating myself here- old man shouts at clouds) and Michael Jackson died, the record store I worked at sold out of every Jackson album in about 45 minutes- as if no person had ever listened to their music before. It’s fake- performance art of the public. We reordered 10 times our normal stock amount and by the time it came in 2 or so days later, nobody gave a shit any more and we had to send most of it back. The average American is so dumb- like goldfish. We’ve all heard the joke right? Maybe a 3 second memory? If it’s not in the headlines TODAY, it doesn’t exist to most people. It all just feels so disingenuous and fake. It feels as if most people’s reaction is just performance.

Let's keep posting and upvoting All Things Dolly! For two reasons: 1. Dolly Parton is awesome. and 2. It will piss off #47 that Ms. Parton is getting more attention.

Gonna make a ruling on this one. Anyone saying anything negative about Dolly is a terrible person.
