Dolly Parton Says She and Donald Trump “Have The Same Hair”
Have you noticed that DOLLY PARTON and DONALD TRUMP have something in common? Dolly’s good friend KENNY ROGERS has. In fact, back in September he called her “the Donald Trump of country music.”
He was comparing their “colorful personalities,” which is true, but for different reasons. Anyway, “Rolling Stone”asked Dolly about Kenny’s comments, and she took it in a totally different direction.
She said quote, “Did he mean my hair or my money? Me and Donald kind of have the same hair. He could’ve meant that.” Okay, so, Dolly wears wigs and even laughs about it. Does she know something about Trump that we don’t?
She also said Kenny likes to talk about her saying “whatever’s on her mind.” I see the comparison to Trump there, but with one HUGE difference. What’s on Dolly’s mind is never mean-spirited. She always has nice things to say about people.
Chris Janson Built His Lung Capacity By Playing the Harmonica
CHRIS JANSON visited patients at a Tennessee hospital on Wednesday, and he had something in common with them. The patients are in the Harmonicas for Health program, which helps people with the breathing disorder COPD.
Chris struggled with breathing problems for much of his life. And when he moved to Nashville ten years ago he started playing harmonica and noticed that it started strengthening his lungs . . . and his vocals.
He told the “Tennessean”, quote, “I was having trouble breathing. [But] I learned how to breathe by playing harmonica. It literally built lung capacity.”
Jennifer Nettles’ New Album Will Be Out May 13th
JENNIFER NETTLES’ new album “Playing With Fire” will be out May 13th. It includes the single “Unlove You”, which is striking a chord with fans. She says they approach her with stories of how it relates to them.
Quote, “It’s sometimes overwhelming to realize what an impact one’s own music can have on people.”
It’s going to be a while before we hear new music from GARTH BROOKS. He posted a message on Facebook saying that it’s taking him longer than expected to get his “songwriting muscle” back into shape, so he’s postponing the release of his next record. But he’s promising it’ll be “the most Garth thing” he’s ever done.
People.com is previewing MARTINA MCBRIDE’s video for her new song “Reckless”. She describes the song as “big and energetic,” but with lyrics that are “vulnerable and powerful.”
