Imagine being so famous your husband gets stage fright just watching you.
That’s Dolly Parton and Carl.
“He gets nervous seeing me… it’s like watching your kid in a recital. He’s afraid I’ll mess up.”
She told Ellen that like it was the sweetest thing ever.
45 years later and he still can’t handle it.
Peak marriage or just kind of sad?
I’m so spotty when it comes to my love/hate relationship to Ryan Murphy content. Like his DARK shit (Nip/Tuck followed by American Horror Story) is the path I got taken down, but things like Glee or THIS are like… ???
Tho I still wonder if I should give Scream Queens a shot lol
Does anyone have a more lilting, infectious laugh than Dolly? I haven’t found one! 🦋
Her down-home charm shines here too she tells stories about losing her wig in action… 😂
Then she gets deeper about family life... "We couldn’t have children. But we’ve had a house full. We’ve raised everybody’s kids. …I think God knows what He’s doing…” ❤️
Dolly talks about turning 50, and answers the question, "How long does it take her to become "Dolly"? 🦋
The Late Late Show
with Tom Snyder, 1996
Le anunciaron a Édith Piaf que su tiempo había concluido. Entonces entonó «No me arrepiento de nada» y ofreció una interpretación que no solo se volvió legendaria, sino que quedó grabada en la memoria cultural para siempre.
En diciembre de 1960 estaba agotada, gravemente enferma y con la orden estricta de sus médicos de no volver a pisar un escenario.
El Olympia estaba al borde de la quiebra. Para la mayoría, su trayectoria artística ya era cosa del pasado.
Aun así, decidió presentarse.
Semanas antes, Charles Dumont y Michel Vaucaire le habían entregado una canción recién nacida: Non, je ne regrette rien.
La escuchó una sola vez y la hizo suya de inmediato: sin dulzura, sin adornos, solo una marcha feroz y una convicción moral que no admitía titubeos.
Su estilo escénico era célebre por su austeridad: permanecía erguida, inmóvil, con su vestido negro sin pretensiones, dejando que sus manos y su voz cargaran con todo el peso emocional. No interpretó la pieza. La habitó.
Aquella noche rescató un teatro y convirtió un ajuste de cuentas íntimo con la pérdida en una de las grandes proclamaciones de resistencia del siglo.
Frágil en el cuerpo, inagotable en el espíritu, sigue siendo una de las voces más emblemáticas que alumbró el siglo XX.
El Gorrión no voló lejos.
Simplemente se negó a descender.
Dolly Parton had something to say about climate breakdown too. Her 2023 single World On Fire was anti-MAGA, anti-Trump, pro-climate action, and pro-unity.
Its closing lyrics? "Let's heal the hurt. Let kindness work." ❤️
@Aitch_El@SketchesbyBoze "They sell us the President, the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing, from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars."

@SketchesbyBoze Then there’s Lennon’s Working Class Hero: “doped on religion, sex and TV; and you think you’re so clever and classless and free; but you’re just fking peasants…”
Same mechanism for same goal.
When you accidentally gain psychic powers from a tanning booth malfunction but you can only foretell completely insignificant events of the immediate future.
Would you use this superpower to avoid a paper jam, or just tell someone their ice cream is going to give them a massive headache?
George Orwell, in 1984, describes how the Party keeps the Proletarians sedated with “five-cent novelettes, films oozing with sex, and sentimental songs which were composed entirely by mechanical means on a special kind of kaleidoscope known as a versificator.”
EYES WIDE SHUT (1999) was marketed like a scandalous Cruise and Kidman sex thriller, then gave audiences a strange, dreamlike odyssey about jealousy, fantasy and marriage.
@WifeFinance They don’t hate us. They hate Jesus. We preach Christ crucified. No one can enter into heaven on their own merit. We will never apologize for the truth that Jesus paid it all in the cross for us wretched sinners!
@BlackLabelAdvsr Christians will say some nonsense like this and complain that they are the most persecuted religion in the entire world in the same breath.
