Our awful governor made January 19 Dolly Parton Day in TN. Not sure why he waited until she was 80 to do it. He has been governor miserably long.

Saw online someone criticizing because this year her birthday is also MLK Day. Someone kindly explained that the 19th will always be her birthday, but it is not always on Monday so not always MLK Day. Sad that some cannot respect two people at once.
