The Dolly + The David

________________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
***
 
It is understatement
to call this interview
"brilliant"
 
My 
favorite moment
is
when Dolly 
acknowledges
as the 
"Godfather of Country Music"
and 
its' greatest poet
 
David
—of course—
agrees
BUT
makes a mistake
when he says
Hank died
at age 27
[he was 29]
 
It would have been 
beneath 
Dolly's Dignity
to have corrected 
him

HER Passage Into Heaven ... In Black + White

passage

moment
