Dolly was profound in a day and age full of influencers harassing people and atrocities being committed for clout. She had the money, the status, the talent. She could have been an absolute bitch and suffered no consequences.
She chose not to.
I admire Dolly purely for that one important incorruptible fact.
I also do not adhere to that myself and pass out rainbow bricks at gay pride festivals.

They’re lucky Dolly taught me how to be a decent person.
