NFR RIP Dolly Parton

[MarlinMark]

Dolly was all woman and all heart. And little known - in 2020 Dolly gifted 1M to the Vanderbuilt University Medical Center covid research team, those funds being directly credited with accelerating the development of the Moderna Covid vaccine which has saved countless lives.

I would like to respectfully disagree that those vaccines saved lives. But Dolly was a wonderful human being. That I will agree with.

1 of 1 for sure.
“If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.”

Add on: I really like Jolene, partially because of the back story: A bank teller flirting with Carl Dean. And that Dolly and Carl were in love for 60 years.
But, imo her best song was probably I Will Always Love You, and Whitney’s cover has to be one of the top ten songs ever recorded.

I had no idea she donated to that research. Yes, helped save millions.

Plus her championing women's rights!

I didn't know that. Yes, saved many lives.
