Dolly Parton

“There’s nothing more American than baseball and apple pie”… if you throw in today’s show subject, you may just have the ultimate American trio.  Dolly Parton has been in the music industry for over 50 years and has sold millions and millions of albums.  She’s worked with some of the biggest names in entertainment and has made a resurgence over the past 10 years or so (probably doesn’t hurt to be Miley Cyrus’ godmother either).  Usually show subjects will have some dirt on them or at least something negative to talk about. Dolly has seemed to dodge the headlines with any nonsense over the years, but is there more to the story of the big-boobed beauty?  Check out this rootin’ tootin’ good time on the latest episode of AHC Podcast.
