Let’s talk about Dolly…

Well…with news every day about crappy celebrity behavior that seems to flood into the air every day, the latest news about Dolly Parton is a welcome breath of fresh air…not surprising, but fresh air anyway. For a little personal background, I’m not a country music fan and don’t really  follow it much but when I was young, my mother was a huge country fan with WJEF always playing with the real country music…at least to my mind, and she liked to watch the country music shows like Rem Wall and the Porter Wagoner show that Dolly was on…so I have been aware of her just about my entire life…and in that time, I don’t remember anyone saying a bad word about Dolly, and her genuine niceness was always who she was and  that never changed in all those years…and there have been too many times to count where she used her well earned fortune to help people all over the country, and you very seldom heard about it…and now, her latest bid at making life better for a lot of people just made my jaw drop….just yesterday, it was announced that every employee at Dollywood no matter whether they are permanent, seasonal, or temps qualify for having their college paid for completely…tuition, books, fees and any other costs will be covered…and the cool thing is that you didn’t see Dolly out there taking credit for it even though it has to be her idea….now this is one of the coolest things I have ever heard and it puts all of the whining CEO’s across this country to shame as they bitch and moan that they can’t afford healthcare for their people, or raises, or anything else…and we all know that is because it would cut into their pay and they all think they are worth the millions they get paid while their employees are worth nothing. So, all I have to say is good on ya, Dolly…just keep being you…
