Dolly Parton posted this seven months ago.
Today, her passing was announced.
This is both the easiest and hardest one of these I've had to write. On one hand, I think we all know that Dolly Parton is one of the kindest and most influential country artists in history. I don't need to espouse about her impact on people, her advocacy and active giving to the cause of literacy, or the fact that you are greeted by Dolly when you enter Tennessee!
No, seriously.
But this is also hard because the loss is so great.
No, I instead choose to honor her in the way she would have intended - with this 2003 song that wasn't a hit but it perfect for today.

Let you think she did this just for vinyl - no, she brought the fire to the performance.
Dolly Parton will be sorely missed in the music industry, by her family, by Tennessee, and by music fans everywhere. She's with her Carl Dean now.
