@thejackhopkins Deadhead here.. showing my age but I love all music and carry my portable Bose speaker to listen whenever I like..
I grew up in the 60’s & 70’s in Laurel Canyon.. magical times for this flower child. My soundtracks are many and reflective of my mood.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Country singer Dolly Parton wrote the songs "I Will Always Love You" and "Jolene" on the same night.
When the first song was at the top of the charts in 1974, Elvis wanted to record his own version of the song. Dolly was interested until Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis' manager, said that it was standard procedure that when the king of rock and roll covered a song - half of the rights to that song would go to him in the future.

She refused it.

"I said, 'I'm really, really sorry' and cried all night. It was terrible for me, on the one hand, it's Elvis. People told me: "You are crazy." It's Elvis Presley...' but I just couldn't do it. Something told me in my heart not to do it and I didn't. I know he would rock with that song. But I couldn't. And then Whitney Houston came along with her version and I made enough money from the rights to buy Dollywood."

She grew up in severe poverty and no one famous has done more for the education of the poor than her.

In 1990, the percentage of students who did not graduate from high school in her hometown was over 30%. She introduced the "Buddy Program", where all high school graduates received a nice sum when they graduated. It wasn't just a waste of money, she personally came and explained the concept to them - everyone should find a buddy, and whoever doesn't succeed she will find one for them. Everyone had to sign that they will graduate and do everything in their power to ensure that their buddy also graduates. She taught young people about friendship and helping.

The number of school dropouts dropped to below 6% and has remained so until today.

When 900 families lost their homes in the 2016 fires, she paid each family $1,000 for the next five months. When she came to the bank to finish the paperwork, she gave each family another $5,000 to find. A total of nine million dollars.

Also, her work - Imagination Library from 1995, was inspired by her realization that young people in rural areas and poor families already fall behind when they start school and that this prevents them from pursuing higher education. The goal of her program was for every child in her district to receive one book, once a month, from birth to school, completely free of charge, without any conditions. It started as an initiative in her hometown and has spread to a huge number of countries around the world.

By 2018, over 100 million books were distributed in this way.

She is also known for her witty statements, at the beginning of her career she said:

“I'm not offended by jokes about stupid blondes because I know I'm not stupid... and I'm not really blonde either.”

One parent could get my poetry banned from classrooms. And yet one country can't ban assault rifles from massacring them.

[Defeat Trump @DefeatTrump_]

Ron DeSantis’ team is attacking us today because he just filed to run for president — and we’re Twitter’s largest anti-DeSantis account with over 37,000 followers.

Let’s show DeSantis how unpopular he is. Can you please RT, ❤️, and follow us so we can reach 45,000 by tonight?

@thejackhopkins Every Man should ask Every Woman in their lives about her gynecologic health and those boys would understand that it is complicated, heartbreaking and our bodies need special care… hard to believe we are living in 2023 .. it hurts deep to write this..
