I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it. Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family.

You know I love my schools from Tennessee... how about Carson-Newman University right in Jefferson City!!
I love these colors and the brand of football these Eagles play!
Thank you Coach Almond and @cnfootball for thinking of me!!
England banning Kanye West from entering the country because of his past comments is insane. No American citizen should be barred from entering England for any public commentary on any subject, no matter how offensive, period.
Ye sold 160,000 tickets at SoFi stadium in 2 nights SOLO. No opening act, no co-headliner, just Ye. 48 years old, still moving the needle, still setting the standards. You just can’t ignore him. More shows to come.
The Druski skit situation is funny to me. The skit is hilarious. People being offended need to grow up. BUT everyone defending the skit also needs to keep this same energy about aaalllllllll comedy. Don’t go crying next time a bit upsets you personally. If jokes shake you to your soul SO deeply, consider that you may be an emotionally underdeveloped human, not fit for this life. The world needs comedy ❤️
Rest in peace, Wes Rucker. 🕊️
A tremendous voice for Tennessee athletics and an even greater family man.
He leaves behind his wife, a young son, and a daughter due in May.
Please keep the Rucker family in your prayers during this unimaginable time. 🙏🍊
No seriously what did Bad Bunny do for people to be mad at?
He had fine women
He had a male and female gender wedding
He had the USA flag lead the way
He said God Bless America for goodness sake
If people still pretending to be mad at it, I’m sorry but..you might be racist 😅
