Dolly Parton was just 13 years old when she first performed at the Grand Ole Opry. Appropriately enough, the future country legend was introduced by none other than Johnny Cash. Reflecting back on that, Dolly Parton shares that Johnny Cash made quite the impression on a girl coming of age.
In an interview with GQ, the Jolene singer openly discussed things that a few things fans might not know about her storied life.
Doll Parton spills tea about her very special relationship with Cash, declining performing at the Super Bowl, and her 54 year marriage to husband Carl Dean.

Cash walked her line
Now BLM makes her feel like a guilty white woman.
I’ve always loved Dolly Parton but her striding liberalism lately has made me love her even less. Coming out in support of Black Lives Matter lost her a lot of respect.
“Coming out in support of Black Lives Matter lost her a lot of respect.”
I beat you. When she dropped the word, “Dixie”, from Dixie Stampede because it was not PC, I pretty much stopped admiring her in any way.
Not difficult. Her boobs are much smaller in that pic.
When I was a student at the University of Wisconsin I won tickets to a Dolly Parton concert at the Capital Theatre on State Street. This was Spring 1976 and the theatre, a relic of the 20’s was about to be demolished to build the first civic center, now integrated into the Overture Center. I think the seating area structure survived into the first civic center, but may have been demolished for the Overture Center. Not sure, but as we walked in to this tattered, old theatre there were signs of the demolition about to begin in the week following, Scaffolding, equipment here and there. The Piper Road Spring Band opened with bluegrass music. Dolly Parton was fantastic - really impressive. Afterwards she signed autographs and took photos with fans at the base of the stage. I took photos of my dorm neighbor standing next to Dolly, arm around her, with an excrement eating grin on his face. Dolly was packed into an airtight pink sequined jumpsuit-like outfit and she was sweet as pie.
I don’t care what Dolly has to say.......she’s a caricature.....nothing more, nothing less......
Did they pass her around backstage like they did Tanya T?
CBM (Cash in black suit matters)
Probably!
I have to think that it is just a picture from a a later time. Dolly Parton was 13 in 1959, that doesn’t look like 1959 Johnny Cash one bit!
I don’t like her at all. She is a moral leftist.
Youtube up the Cash / Chicken in Black.
I Love it!
That pic is from the 1978 Country Music Awards. She would have been 32.
Who cares?
