Transcript

So today one of my students asked like why is everybody talking about Dolly Parton? What's going on? And I said, well, we just learned that she passed away today. And one of my other students said, Oh my gosh, I have to call my mom. And I was like, yeah, that is the first thing that came to my mind when I heard about it too because my mom, both my parents actually, love, love, love, love, love Dolly Parton, myself included. So it's a sad day. We lost an icon, truly. Rest in peace, Dolly. We all love you.
