Without meaning to get offensive (because we still have Dolly Parton, and God bless her soul)… is Shania Twain our equivalent country queen?
I say this as someone who listened to Up! (both versions) throughout my formative years and honestly every single one of those songs was important to me at some point - from c’est la vie, which is fairly upbeat, to It Only Hurts When I’m Breathing, which is still my go-to sad song for when my depression catches up to me.
Just wanted to cast the feelers out; are we in the same boat? If not, why not? I want to contribute more but I want to know more about everyone here first 😅
Thank you for articulating this. Dolly is the type of person that goes out of her way to reduce other peoples suffering. We should all aspire to be like that.
One funny story about her, she was walking around a city, stumbled across a drag Dolly Parton impersonation competition, decided for a laugh shed join, she lost that competition and the drag queen that won said " you k ow why you lost, your tits are too small", she loved it because the drag queen had no clue they were talking to Dolly herself.
Man I love that woman.
