To be fair, I think Smokey Robinson has had some major work done too.

But he appears to have taken his mama’s advice to “shop around”.

It was uncharacteristically but delightfully snarky from a woman usually believed to have a heart as big as her… um… cardiovascular cavity.

I once read an article on Dolly where the writer followed her around for a day or two. They had dinner in a very expensive restaurant, where Dolly ordered a fancy liver and onions dish, and requested special instructions in how she wanted it cooked.
“Uh, I don’t think the chef’s going to like that”, the waiter cautioned her.
“I don’t give a shit”, Dolly replied sweetly. “It’s his job and my money”.
It reminded me of stories of George Washington swearing a blue streak at his troops – the fact that he almost never expressed anger at anyone made people really sit up and take notice when he did.
But Dolly’s wigs look better than his.

I was also surprised to hear her singing with Porter Wagoner on her recent Those Were the Days CD. I knew they weren’t at each other’s throats anymore (hard to really have a feud with a celebrity you eclipsed 30 years ago) but I didn’t realize they were buddies again. I’m not sure if I could do that with a guy who wiped me out financially the way he did her (though she’s certainly recouped the million or so she paid him a hundred times or two over the decades).

Porter and Dolly always had a curious relationship. He wiped her out financially. Then, when he fell on hard times, she bought his song catalog for an inflated price. After he was back on his feet, she sold it back to him cheap. But when all those transactions were going back and forth, sometimes they weren’t even speaking to each other.
I wish Dolly had just let herself age gracefully.
Jeez. If someone held a gun to my head and asked me to pick, I think I’d rather do Spielberg.
She looks like the illegitimate daughter of Ronald McDonald.
