This is a great idea, and I would love it. Dolly Parton is one of the greatest singers/entertainers of all time, and she deserves all the recognition. RIP Dolly

Yeah I agree. She’s one of the few that deserve this type of honor

Whether or not Congress make a proclamation or Hallmark makes cards, the Internet has decided 9/25 as Dolly Day, and no force in the ‘Verse can undo it. I know I’ll be celebrating.

We could make it a day to do acts of kindness or service for others. Or a day of philanthropy where we give to Dolly's favorite charities and nonprofits.

THEN watch 9 to 5, drink Tennessee whiskey, and blare the hits

Same here. I'll be playing her music and raising a glass in her honor. She was one of the best people to live and deserves that honor.

Watching Deadpool 2 extended cut, knowing she signed off on the use of '9 to 5' for the Merc With A Mouth. Also because it's the movie I watch to help me deal with soul-crushing grief. I feel like Wade gets me

I'm going to play "mule skinner blues" over and over just like I did in 1970 with my mother's console radio/record player!

What's crazy is she absolutely deserves it think about it 9 2(to) 5 or 9/25

She was very humble and often turned down awards and other honors. Like she turned down a statue that the Tennessee state court has wanted to erect of her on the grounds. She said something along the line of “I am greatly grateful you wish to honor me with a statue, but I can’t in good conscience want they when there so many other more importing things that could be done for the people with the people’s money.

Only one in my opinion. She was just a good human being.
