Dolly Parton sees better days

Bookmark and Share

Doom 'n' gloom is very much the norm these days, and it's easy to see why. In Dolly Parton's world, however, there is cause for hope no matter how dire things seem. On-record as well as in conversation, the woman somehow still exudes an optimism that is as refreshing as it is unusual. Trust me, you could use a dose of it. So check out the interview, previewing her upcoming show in Durham.
