Tonight, the Empire State Building tower lights will turn to a pink sparkle at 9:25 to honor the late Dolly Parton.

Dolly was a global cultural icon whose seven-decade career reached generations of fans. Beyond entertainment, Dolly leaves a significant philanthropic legacy through the Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, which has provided hundreds of millions of books to children worldwide.

At Nine-Two-Five tonight, we celebrate her and her legacy

I'll never forget her first appearance on the Tonight Show, Johnny Carson remarked that he'd give a year's pay to see what was under her shirt!

At that point in the 1970's Carson was making over $12 million a year and was the highest paid person on television.


He would've gotten cancelled for that nowadays but back then everybody loved him and nobody had a problem with anything he said. There's a local channel that shows Johnny every night at 11:00 and it's pathetic to flip over watch 5 minutes of Kimmel at 11:30.

I’m old enough to remember when GOP leadership defunded Dolly’s Imagination Library reading program in multiple states. Oh wait, that’s happening now.


Democrats “defunded Dolly’s Imagination Library reading program in multiple states”, too.

All communists do is lie

Does the internet not exist in your universe? Convert that money to buying up books that are downloadable for free by her participants.

DING DING! Didn't cost the taxpayers a dime.

It’s fuzzy, but anyone whose opinion of a free book program for kids is negative would not be considered by whoever makes the decision.

Great plan. Let’s force another generation into further dependency on a screen. I’d bet money you’re also the guy lamenting kids don’t play outside anymore.

What the hell is wrong with some of you?

What the hell is the reason you need the federal government to cover this? You can have them printed by Benedictine monks for all I care. I just don't see how this is in the Constitution as something the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA should be spending a dime on this.

People are lining up to drive by her estate and leave flowers. Imagine my surprise when I got caught in that traffic and didn't know I lived 7 mins from her house

Yes, let’s eliminate one of the only positive ways our tax dollars are spent for the direct benefit of its citizens so you can crow about fiscal responsibility as if what amounts to a rounding error matters.

Such a dumb hill to die on.

The Constitution doesn't have a clause for your feelings or handing out books to people.
