And just in general, excluding trauma, OD and unaliving yourself are the leading causes of unexpected death in young adults.

I was wondering about Frank Beard after they scheduled a fill-in drummer for some upcoming shows.

A friend of mine met Billy G in the late-90s. He claimed he thought Billy had a manageable heroin habit. I didn't know there was such a thing.

This is a HUGE one for all of us that were around when ESPN started up....when I used to love watching MTV and ESPN...

Bill Rasmussen, founder of ESPN, passed away.

"Bill was our George Washington and a good friend," said Chris Berman, who joined ESPN three weeks after the network launched in 1979, in a statement. "He was such a grateful person and every sports fan can be grateful for Bill. He wasn't a glass half-full guy; his glass was always overflowing with optimism. He greeted everyone with a smile and we can all smile knowing Bill's legacy."

I was in the room here one day... watchin' the Mexican channel on TV. I don't know nothin' about Pele. I'm watchin' what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps in the air and flips into a somersault and kicks the ball in - upside down and backwards... the dang (sc) goalie never knew what the hell hit him. Pele gets excited and he rips off his jersey and starts running around the stadium waving it around his head. Everybody's screaming in Spanish. I'

One of three Americans I can think of in living memory who was universally loved and respected: her, Fred Rogers, and Bob Ross.

Y'all I am devastated. This hurts so much.

As a child, her music was the soundtrack of my life. Whether it was road trips with my family or Christmas time, her music was always there. I went to Dollywood the year it opened and still have the train engineer hat with "Dollywood" embroidered on the front.

As an adult she did so much for my wife and I. A little over 10 years ago my wife wrote a little book about a fat girl in Texas who decided to join a beauty pageant. The main character was obsessed with Dolly's music and it featured heavily in the book. While her first book did ok, Dumplin' took off. It debuted at #1 on the NYT Bestseller list and really changed the trajectory of our lives.

Fast forward two years and we received word that change our lives again. We had been working on a movie idea based on the book and her manager Danny finally brought it to her one morning. As she was flipping through she said she thought she had recognized it. She walked into her library and returned with a copy of the book which she had already read. After that she was on board.

We ended up making the movie and she (along with Linda Perry) did the sound track which included 6 original songs (one was even nominated for a Grammy). The movie starred Jennifer Aniston and we even got to visit the set during filming (we also have a small cameo). Of all the memories I have from that experience, including the red carpet premiere, my favorite was one January in 2018

We had flown out to California to do some promo for the film and ended up spending the day with Dolly. She was kindest, funniest, down to earth person. She made you instantly feel like part of her family. We ended up taking a pic together and I still have a framed copy at my house. Dolly did so much for so many people and never asked for anything in return. I will be eternally grateful for everything she did

RIP Dolly.

WTH is wrong with you

#5 Turns 80 this year (2026) and is obese. Not to mention someone has already tried to shoot him. It's interesting you take offense within the GB's most offensive thread. It's tasteful to predict human beings whose lives will soon end until it's a politician that you support?


Has zero to do with the politician. But hey, great job jumping to conclusions.

I'm wondering why anyone would put out to the universe that Dolly Parton or Morgan Freeman might die.

You should have powered thru your waffle earlier. Maybe you would be a little less beachy.

Welp.

I take no joy in crossing this one off the list. We have lost a legend. That being said, I have three more left on my list. I may just make it back into the standings.

Your wife wrote that? Wow. It was such a fun movie to watch. I am not at all surprised Dolly was on board. The things she did to lift people up and make everyone feel they have a place in this world were incredible.

The only reason I watched 'Dumplin was because I read about it on Texags. My wife watched it some time later and told me about it so I had to share that I had already seen it and explain why I had watched it. We both agreed it was a great story.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

I don't want to clutter the thread but I thought I share this fun fact

Dolly didn't send emails but you could still get an email from her.

When Dolly wanted to send you an email, she would type it up, print it out on Dolly letterhead, and sign it. She would then hand if off to her manager who would scan it back into the computer and email it to you. Of course if you had a fax machine, she would just fax it to you herself.

Here is one of the "emails" my wife got from her.

There was a reason Dollywood existed.

This make me sad. But I am so happy to know she's singing with Jesus right now. On my way home I listened to her song with Brad Paisley titled "When I get where I'm going"..... It definitely carries so much more meaning now.

You won the race, Dolly!!!
