After making musical connections while performing on the Cas Walker Show, Dolly Parton and her Uncle Bill Owens managed to get a guest spot on the Grand Ole Opry in 1959. Friends, Carl and Pearl Butler were instrumental in getting Jimmy C. Newman to agree to give up one of his regular Saturday night spots to Dolly. Johnny Cash introduced her saying,

"We’ve got a little girl here from up in East Tennessee. Her daddy’s listening to the radio at home and she’s gonna be in real trouble if she doesn’t sing tonight, so let’s bring her out here."

Dolly recalls seeing the classic WSM microphone stand and being in awe standing on the Ryman Auditorium stage. Dolly said,

"As I heard the band play my introduction, I lifted my head and looked up toward the lights. I smiled at the people in the balcony and then let ‘er rip."

Dolly sang George Jones’ song, "You Gotta Be My Baby" and received three encores that night.

PROPAGANDA UNDER THE CUT: [SPOILERS AHEAD]

ADAM NEWMAN:

Peter C. Newman wrote scathing books about Canadian Prime Ministers John Diefenbaker and Lester B. Pearson in the 1960s, leaving both men looking like imbeciles.

Great books by a great writer whom most Canadians, I think, took for granted due to his ubiquitous over exposure in the media.

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; SIDE C

Lloyd Allen Propaganda:

I'm genuinely not sure if this counts as unreliable but your honor, I love him. He's what is called a 'posthuman,' in his source, which is someone who can jump between narratives and change them by. Literally being a narrator. Specifically in the New Albion Radio Hour this is played with by him coaxing the main character (also a posthuman who isn't quite Aware of what she is) 'back into character' when she starts trying to break out of the story he wants to tell. Which is the entire destruction of the city New Albion. He eventually changes the plot to still be a tragedy, once that other posthuman starts meddling, but with her specifically being killed rather than the entire city falling. She still ends up defying it, though in the process her father and aunt die.

Josh Newman Propaganda:

well for one he's tricked into going against his sister and his narration supports this way of thinking. so yeah hes basically being manipulated for one whole book, and his narration reflects that. hes also death yeah can we talk about that
