WHO the froggin' frack was Jolene that Dolly's mans could ever think of leaving this brickhouse built golden-tressed countrified goddess of wit and song?

Jolene could only have been the debbo himself in a lady suit.

A lady at the bank - check out Dolly’s podcast.

Yep. She has talked about this. Even though he never showed any interest, she still flirted and made Dolly feel insecure.

Somehow I don't believe this story... I think Jolene is Dolly herself

I don't even like country music. I avoid it. But Dolly? I've seen her sing and her appearances on talk shows and such and I have liked every second. Her charm and sense of humor are stellar. I know people kid about her physique. But I think the key to her attraction is actually everyone looks at her and thinks, "Man. We could hang out."

She seems very down to earth and relatable especially when she’s speaking anecdotally to her audience between songs. She talks about her youth before she was famous and shares a lot about her early family life.

You know now that I think about it both Dolly and Loretta Lynn shared an Appalachian childhood mired in absolute poverty. I'm not sure why Dolly is so adored and Loretta isn't. Loretta doesn't have a lot of haters, but we don't hold them at the same level. Could be Lorettas years of addiction - I hope it's not just because Dolly is traditionally "pretty" and Loretta not so much.

She strikes me as kind. Not nice, as nice is often hollow or fake. Being nice as a psychopath is easy. You don’t care and just say the right words and all that.

But kind shines through. You go the extra mile, you give of yourself, you care about others. She has done a ton of work to help others, and I have never heard her say an unkind word.

110%... I have to travel like 100+ nights a year for work, and probably 75% of those nights have to do dinner with clients. I usually tell them to pick whatever they want since it just goes on the company card, and 9 times out of 10 they pick some fancy steakhouse and we all go do the filet and lobster deal or whatever... If you'd told me a few years ago that I'd get tired or good steaks I wouldn't have believed you, but it is absolutely true for pretty much everybody on my team. When we don't have clients to take out we go for street cart hot dogs or Waffle House or cheap pizza or something...

I guess it isn't necessarily always the case, because I've had eggs Benedict for breakfast 4-5 days a week for like 2-3 years and am still not tired of it, but I'm guessing that's the rare exception not the norm.

an expensive surf and turf is great but in general that kind of steak house, they often have super boring food. side veg, side potato.

also really the worst if you don't eat meat or drink liquor

Yeah, the sides definitely make a big difference. The 3 cities I spend the most time in are NYC, San Francisco, and DC, and luckily those all have Mastros that clients seem to like a lot, and I usually really like their sides and apps even if I'm kind of tired of steaks. They have a seared tuna app that is insanely good, and I can usually go for oysters. Then we do usually end up getting a lot of potatoes, but normally either these mashed potatoes with lobster in them or these cheesy scalloped potatoes, and I'm usually in the mood for at least one of those. And I don't know how they cook them but they have these sauteed mushrooms that are insanely good...

But yeah, a lot of places it's basically just a steak, a baked potato, and asparagus or something. Which is admittedly great food, but gets old pretty quick.

Emerald green eyes too. Plus I bet she wore green underwears which is a near-lethal combination.
