We lost Dolly Parton yesterday, and it's landing harder than many of us expected. As a young kid, I remember her from when my parents watched Porter Wagoner. Then there was 9 to 5. And who could forget her performance during the Dallas Cowboys halftime show on Thanksgiving of 2023. The music is legendary. But what I keep coming back to is the Imagination Library — 200 million books put into children's hands, quietly, for decades, because she didn't think a kid's future should hinge on whether there were books in the house. "Icon" gets thrown around. She earned it, then spent it on other people. Respect. Rest easy, Dolly. And thank you. @DollyParton

My wife recently purchased a record player and asked me what records I would like to buy. Picked up a couple that @20th_Centurygal may have heard of.
