Dolly withdraws R&R HoF nomination

[Miotch]

Never been a big fan of her music, but always kind of liked her. As a boy, I liked her because, well.... I was a boy. As an adult I like her because she can laugh at herself. Anyway, I agree with her assessment on this one. Now, not being a "big fan" of her music, doesn't mean I don't like some of the songs well enough. Just not my genre'.

Good for her. I hope Judas Priest considers bowing out of the Country Music Hall of Fame nominations for the exact reason.

Always a class act, whether you like her music or not.

Apparently she, unlike those pissants @ the so-called RRHOF, actually understands that there is a difference between what she does and ROCK.

I've never really liked her music either, but I will put her on the list of top 10 human beings alive. She is utterly admirable.

 

[Leofender]

Her music is ok... What I really like about Dolly is her dedication to free books for kids anywhere. She really is a legendary person for that devotion.

 

[monte merrick]

i love Dolly's music. She's a hell of a songwriter.

 

[Forpie]

So good!!

 

[Chimey]

Good for Dolly, she is a truly great person. Is the R&RHOF still considered a thing by anybody? I think Alex Lifeson said it best. Lol

 

[El Gobernador]

i love Dolly's music. She's a hell of a songwriter.

Yep. Her original version of IWALY is so much more...real...than Whitney's. No bombast, just a sweet, melancholy, yet uplifting tune sung from the heart.



It really doesn't get any better than that.

Dolly is an absolute gem of a human being period.

Good. She grew up a hour away from me. All I here is Dolly this Dolly that. I love her but like Carl Dean better. Me and him could get along really good. Plus all they want to talk about is her wigs, make up, and Boobs. Ask Carl sometimes.

 

[Tone Quest]

Dolly is a gem. Generous with her time and fortune. Funny too.

 

[Dadocaster]

Don't sell her short. Her writing is great.

I lived in Cleveland for a year back in the early 2000's. I wasn't tempted to go there at all.
It's just a tourist trap where they sell over-priced merch.

i love Dolly's music. She's a hell of a songwriter.

And a generational vocal talent

I'm not a Dolly's fan, but I'm very respectful of her body of work (Pun intended )

However, I find myself confused in her position. She states she has not deserved it, therefore I can only assume that she considers her country music work not influential to rock music. However, she also states that she hopes she'd be considered if she puts out a great rock album ? So it kind of surprises me that she may thought that 1 great rock album should be sufficient to be in the HOF ?

Is it me or something is sorta weird about how this is presented ?

I just like Dolly. I liked her when very young and they still had country variety shows on TV. My mother always hated her. My mother pretty much hated anyone she could easily be jealous of...

I still like Dolly...

It is fantastic that people recognize her songwriting ability which is different from the genre she immerses herself in. Many good things said about her even though they may not like her particular style of music.

1 great rock album should be sufficient to be in the HOF ?

This is an actual requirement? Who knew...
