    Thank you, Rebecca

    I had no idea that so many Salon readers were Dolly Parton fans! Especially since Salon is based in San Francisco, and I thought that all of you may have been too sophisticated to pay attention to country music, or admit to liking it. Thanks for proving me wrong! I have always liked Dolly, and love her even more since reading all of the things you thanked her for. I became a Parton fan in 1983, when I decided to dress up as her for Halloween. I knew that in order to do justice to Dolly, I'd have to do more than just pad my chest to her size. So I did my homework, and read everything I could about Ms. Parton. The more I learned, the greater my admiration for Dolly grew - and has continued to grow over the years. I hope that Dolly had a very happy 60th birthday, and will have many more great ones.
