I appreciate that Dolly Parton played no part in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people.
But at the same time he's right. She was the best of us and more, yet what she was doing still wasn't enough. Because one person doing everything Isn't how anything gets done. She's the example we have to live by and make what she did the norm.
Dolly Parton’s death is actually inherently political whether you like it or not. She grew up in poverty and has talked many times about the lack of education in the south. Thats why she wanted kids to have free books and she advocated for minorities. She fucking hated Trump
