just a reminder that being upset over a celebrityโs death is not parasocial in any way. these are real people that made real art that impacted you. you are allowed to mourn & grieve something special to you
Dolly Parton has passed away. She was the author of the song "Jolene," from where Hirohiko Araki drew inspiration when naming Jolyne Cujoh, the sixth JoJo and protagonist of JoJoโs Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.๐ฆ
Rest in peace, Queen of Country.๐๏ธ
Hate that we live in a timeline where Miss Piggy has to post Instagram tributes to a bestie (Dolly Parton) and an ex-lover (Tim Curry) within a 24-hour span
The feeling of losing my Aunt Dolly is beyond what feels right to share. Our most sacred moments were private and theyโll stay there behind the stage, beneath the glamour & between our hearts.
What I KNOW is Dolly would want me to feel it, write a song about it, and then continue on and be strong. I have an angel by my side. I always have. One of our last conversations was about music and metamorphosis. ๐ฆ
I will always love her and want to make her proud. My heart breaks for the world, her family and friends who will miss her deeply. Weโre in this loss together and we will see her in all of the most beautiful things. ๐ @dollyparton
