3. How can anyone NOT like Dolly? Take a wild guess!

Stuart Baker, AKA Unknown Hinson, had some sort of mental break, mistook real life for the role he played on a cartoon, and screwed himself hard. Quote below mildly edited by me to alter one slur and clean up footnote markers.

On August 13, 2020, Baker received backlash after posting controversial remarks about Dolly Parton, calling her a "bimbo" and "s--t" on his Facebook page in response to a recent news article concerning Parton's support of the Black Lives Matter movement. Not long after this post, the Facebook page went offline, but returned on the following day with the posts concerning Parton removed Baker subsequently posted a response to those who were upset, saying "Leave Liberals", calling them "UN-AMERICAN", stating that they "bow down to the ALL-KNOWING-MINORITY", and telling them to have fun "forsaking your own race, culture, and heritage."

The producers of Squidbillies fired Baker from the series over his remarks. Reverend Guitars of Ohio abruptly stopped marketing their Stuart Baker signature series guitars on August 14, 2020, and posted, "we are no longer associated with Unknown Hinson. We have stopped production on his guitars and we have removed him from our website."
