Dolly donates $1,000,000.00 to hurricane relief

[Comshaw]

And it's from her personal account. Anybody that says she isn't a class act needs a good whack upside the head.

That's cool and all, but not sure what it has to do with the Authors' Hangout...

Oh, that's easy. Because Dolly and her husband Carl Dean were married in 1966 by the same judge at the same courthouse, who married my wife and I in 1989. Merely obvious!

Presumably to encourage all the authors here to donate some of the millions they've made from publishing here on Lit.

If I was the kind of person to post gifs, I'd post the gif of Ricky Garvais delivering the line "and people say she's just a massive pair of tits."

I've expressed my erotic appreciation of Dolly Parton in more suitable threads. I'm happy to do so again here.

Literature related Dolly fact: her literacy foundation is the single biggest buyer of children's books in the USA. She's sent out over 200 million books to children worldwide. Probably, hopefully, not the kind of stories we write here, but still, gotta respect that.

I was going to ask if this just came up in casual conversation, but then if I were the judge who married Dolly I'd probably be bragging about it to everybody I could.

Indeed and I certainly wouldnt be having any nonsense from that hussy Jolene.

That's like that game six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

Hmm, let's see I was married, the first time, also in 1989 so now we're connected.

Dolly has always been the type to want to help and give back, and for the right reasons not just a look at me photo op.

I think we'll see a lot of people donating and doing other things to help on both scales large and small.

My wife has a cousin in that area, who fortunately is okay as is his family. He mentioned he's giving $500 to one of the local organizations trying to obtain food and supplies so we matched it and sent him $500 through cash app to add to his, and my wife contacted other family members asking them to give him what they can so he can pass it on. Many people will do the same.

Good thing because our "coughs" leaders have found a way to lie and divide people even over a horrible tragedy.

Of course... us authors are a notoriously rich bunch! :')

Fun ‘fact’ or maybe it’s just a story: Whitney Houston’s super hit ‘I Will Always Love You’ was written by Dolly on the same day she wrote Jolene.

Funny how that works. By that theory, I should be brushing moon dust off my shoes. I've mentioned once or twice that Neil Armstrong belonged to my dad's poker group. There were at least a couple of Saturday nights when Armstrong was at our kitchen table anteing-up.

Yeah, if it was that way I'd be a gangster. My grandfather back in the day was a bootlegger and followed a weird ritual: make moonshine and fist fulls of cash, run off and party until you're broke then hitchhike home and repeat. On one of those journeys home he caught a ride with a guy that had a backseat full of Thompson machine guns. Babyface Nelson was the guy's name.
