My piece for @theconversation.com on Dolly Parton's religious significance theconversation.com/for-some-fan...

For some fans, Dolly Parton was more than a musical idol – she was a spiritual icon

The legendary singer took on a saint-like aura for some fans.

"Parton had her own personal brand of Christian religiosity, but she encouraged others to find and follow their own paths. I believe this helps to explain the huge outpouring of admiration – from followers of many religious traditions, followers of none, and followers of Dolly herself." 💖
