This song makes me cry everytime. It's honestly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. I absolutely love it ; Dolly Parton is a genius

Slightly disappointed that the song “9 to 5” is still the go to idea of a radical leftist communist anthem when most people easily gloss over any of the vaguely radical sounding lyrics and turn it into an apolitical, de-fanged love letter to middle class, suburban, boomer, conservative, republican, white women with cushy, salaried, air conditioned office jobs. 🙄

There are better country, rap, gospel, blues, and rock songs that address leftist themes better.

Even “coat of many colors” does a better job of addressing poverty (in a cutesy romanticized way)

like i'm not big on celebrity worship but it is so wild to me that everything swifties claim to love about taylor, dolly parton has already done ten times better

Back through the years I go wanderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags that someone gave us And how my momma put the rags to use...

Back through the years

I go wonderin' once again

Back to the seasons of my youth

I recall a box of rags that someone gave us

And how my momma put the rags to use

There were rags of many colors

Every piece was small

And I didn't have a coat

And it was way down in the fall

Momma sewed the rags together

Sewin' every piece with love

She made my coat of many colors

That I was so proud of

first thing i thought of when dolly parton announced her makeup line

Literally Dolly Parton could have spent her entire billionaire adult life as an ACTUAL political activist instead of just doing some charity and she could have BARE MINIMUM endorsed candidates. That alone could have had a pretty big political influence, much bigger than the one might currently have.

But NOOOO she had to make a shitty rock and roll album where she only gets VAGUELY political instead. 🙄

One little newborn at Williamson Medical Center celebrated a Tennessee legend with a special coat crocheted for her by Bizzie Bee Crochet.
