RIP Dolly

[muwarrior69]

Hope you have a good year.

Thanks, and if the team performs well it is just icing on the cake.

I teared up. And for the first time in his life, even our president managed to post something complimentary of the dead. Dolly unites us all.

As he made it about himself: "Dolly really liked me".

All these good deeds seem to be a desperate attempt to whitewash her dark past so the public will forget that she once conspired to poison Dabney Coleman

That only makes her more endearing.

There has been lots and lots of, VERY justified, reminiscing of her legacy as a philanthropist, a caring motherly figure (despite not having any children herself), and an overall great human.

But, almost shockingly, it demands remembering that as a musician/artist, she could absolutely RIP.  Her stripped down performances on Carson are all fantastic.  And this cover is just indescribably good...

Jack White did his fantastic Jolene cover last night in London as I would expect him too.  I remember from my peak White Stripes/Jack White fanship days that he absolutely WORSHIPPED and adored her.  It was her favorite cover of any of her songs and she wanted to do an album with him, which is so badass of her and would have been unreal, and I think the only reason it never got done was he was terrified and obsessed with it not being good enough for her and her legacy.

Live a life so that your death will be universally mourned.

I'm reading a personal finance book in which the author recommended writing one's own
obituary.

His point was that folks will want to be remembered as a good parent, good spouse, good friend, kind-hearted person, etc. Hardly anyone will want to be remembered as "I earned a lot of money" or "I had the most expensive car."

Suckers

Why would she do that?  She should have donated that money to politicians to get them elected to protect her wealth

So was she part of your non-evil rich people list?

She was a philanthropist unlike your heroes who want to kill manatees.  And she donated to planned parenthood, so she's good.

I don't have "heroes" other than my grandma.

Makes you think

Will it?  It killed her.

no matter who it is some people just can't help themselves, eh?

She got the jab and then got cancer.  Do the math.
