Interesting and good track… don’t know much about her though
If I went to Dublin, we're 100% going to see Phil Lynott's statue - and have The Boys Are Back In Town reverberating in my head.
If I were to go to Tennessee, I might even be tempted to visit Dollywood.
There's a lot more to her than meets the eye.
She's quite something - and lived one hell of a life...

I think there was a documentary on her by netflix if I remember right. Was a really good watch.

It was watching a documentary that raised Dolly's profile massively in my mind.
You'd get an idea of her very humble origins - growing up in a shack in the mountains.
Plus if it's a doc that shows interviews, you'll see how stunningly clever, and quick with it, she is too.

Rings a bell about the growing up in the mountains bit but I can't recall it properly. She does seem like a absolute gem of a person though.

Yeah, Dolly had her childhood cabin home carefully taken down & rebuilt as an attraction at Dollywood. Dollywood is a big local employer.
I never got around to mentioning her charity work
Since 1995 her book charity has given over 150 million books to children
Last year her monthly free book giveaways total 2 million books posted each month.
Yep, she's a true gem!

I need to do some digging around a find the documentary.
