We can forget it -- she didn't die from her COVID shot.

"Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vacciiiiiiine…

I'm begging of you, please don't hesitate.

Vaccine, vaccine, vaccine, vacciiiiiiine…

'Cause once you're dead, then that's a bit too late.

Unforgettable.

Special mention for those who actually went and did it after seeing this.

    Dolly Parton’s passing end a brilliant career built on discipline, not drama. She wrote her own hits, including I Will Always Love You and Jolene, and she kept a clean reputation. People respected

There's a vaccine for everything, Ralf, that's the beauty of it.

im not going to set forth my initial thoughts so as not further trigger the usual insane leftist political hatefest

Truly rags to riches. What a lady!

Every now and then there are women like this. Loyal over 50 years. Truly an angel among us. Reminds me of the Thai Queen.

It is sad news, but this is a bit more uplifting (like one of her bras - a nod to an earlier comment about bra burning). Funny seeing Ozzy Ozbourne welcoming Dolly…

Almost unbelievable she wrote the words to "I will always love you".

<wipes tear>

I know very little about this woman other than the fact that she's been a cultural American icon for a long time. Not a fan of country music so I doubt I've ever heard much of her music. But she sure seemed to be well liked and highly respected and that in and of itself means a lot. And she seemed to be a rather joyful spirit who brought a lot of people Joy. That is a major contribution and I give her my respect.

(Tennessee) ranks near the bottom nationwide for vaccine uptake, with roughly 35% to 44% of the population remaining entirely unvaccinated or actively opposed to the shots.

This is what the late Ms. Parton thought she was up against also with her $1 million contribution to there Covid-129 program at Vanderbilt Hospital.

And yet note her thoughtful comments about Mylie Cyrus, her goddaughter, when Cyrus came under withering attack from the more conservative (small c) elements of US society.

Bizarre comment. How many credible accusations are there against Cyrus regarding sex with minors? How many songs has she performed with the theme of sex with minors? I doubt Parton would have any "thoughtful comments" regarding those accusations against Jagger.

Gonna block you for that wankerish comment.

She had a good run!highly talented prolific artistic contributions hard working.started with nothing and made something of herself…..touched everyone’s heart in the best way.what I admire most about her is she gave back helping others and not consumed by scandal .excellent run madam you are rembered and missed.kudos!

I enjoy the way she delivered that last line with a laugh, in a video I saw.

They love her in Kenya, country music changing countries. I suspect the Obama thing has something to do with it.

Pretty cool.

My favourite cover is the White Stripes' one:

I had no idea she wrote that famous Whitney Houston song.

Well, with all this press for her passing I would scarcely doubt that the Hollywood mavens are spending the weekend plotting a biopic.

Who should play her? IMO Anya Taylor-Joy.

Who do I think they would want? Sydney Sweeney. Gotta stuff that brassiere good and proper, no way the producers are going to skip a chance to sell a movie on boobage, particularly with an actress who is not shy about flaunting it.

Probably they'll settle for one of those fresh, young Aussie actresses who will not demand big money (no, not the fat one).

And on the topic of physical attributes, back in 1970s Dolly's sister was trying to break into the music biz. Supposedly an interviewer asked her "do you think you can fill your sister's shoes?" to which she answered that it wasn't Dolly's shoes she's concerned with.

Alyvia Alyn Lind previously played her a child.

It will likely be a a pretty awful film, popular with the theatre goers in some where like Branson City, fresh from seeing their 27th showing of the Shepherd of the Hills.

They should take a cue from the Robbie Williams biopic; instead of finding some actress who kind of looks like her, have her played bya bird. Williams went with a Chimp. It worked quite well. But they won't. It will be some conventional saccharine type ordeal, controlled by the family. She was reputedly working on a script.

She and Stallone were a couple for a while. He was at the height of his Rocky-Rambo days,

Man, I know I'm going to hell for this, but I can't resist...

They weren't a couple but friends from Rhinestone. She was married at the time, from 1966 on until Carl Dean's death in 2025.
