RIP Dolly Parton

An American hero.

I used to listen to her all the time when I would go snowboarding.

On the chairlift and ripping down the mountain, I would shout, "Jolene... Jolene.... Jolene, JOLEEEEEENE!"

Read her book too. She was a strong woman who didn't take shit from people.

Growing up in the music industry at that time, as a woman, trying to break new ground in country music like she did, must've been insanely hard.

She was a sweet woman, though. Maybe that was her superpower... finding a way to get stuff done while being a kind person.

Not to mention the fact that she was a brilliant musician with an incredible voice.

She died too young, only 80 years on this earth. I will continue to listen to her music until my death.
