I have recently turned into a Dolly Parton fan, thanks to many articles about her excellent last few albums, all with a folk and bluegrass trend, as well as to a few friends who have loved her much much longer. I guess I don't get the exciting chance to see even pictures of Dolly very often, so I really only know her voice, but this quote from another NYT article (yeah, I read a lot at work) is too good to not pass around: "Ms. Parton's physical appearance is as spectacularly artificial as her emotional presence is accessibly authentic. Though her flash and dazzle evoke the kind of awe usually reserved for Stars From Outer Space (Cher, Michael Jackson), her manner evokes the warmth and fellow-feeling reserved for Stars Like Us (Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks)." Yes, she's comfortable and yet she's also the drag queen in all of us.
