Dolly Parton Was Family (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’ve been wishing for something to unite us, and as always we have forgotten to be careful what we wish for. Today each of us has lost a family member. Dolly Parton has died at age 80, and it’s a measure of the space she leaves behind that no words seem to want to fit in front of her name. I’ve tried a few, too: “Country music superstar” is limiting, “entertainer” doesn’t cut it, “icon” has been rendered meaningless by overuse. She did too many things, at too high a level, with too singular a s
