a favorite bit of writing on Dolly: David Cantwell on "Coat of Many Colors" "I am poor, but I will be more than that. I *am* more than that. Despite your contempt, the things I love are worth loving."

Coat of Many Colors is not a documentary or even a memory, but a story she's telling herself. The adult Parton presents this childhood story says a lot about the survival tactics of poor kids generally, and of Dolly Parton specifically. It might, for example, explain Parton's flamboyant stage dress through the years. More substantially, it tells how a poor kid from the Blue Ridge Mountains has to make sense of life if she has ambitions, as we know Dolly Parton most certainly did. ...I am poor, but I will be more than that. I am more than that. Despite your contempt, the things I love are worth loving. And since my mother slaved over this amazing coat for me, I must be worth loving, too."

I was hoping for your help with something. (Please RT for reach.) Is there a particular font that’s instantly recognizable to someone who lives where you do, and appreciated/recognized/hated there, but completely unknown elsewhere? Road signs, street names, transit, infrastructure, stuff like that?

Yesterday I discovered Ray Bradbury’s There Will Come Soft Rains. Since it’s usually published as part of The Martian Chronicles, I made my own cover for the story and wrote a little about it. mattdoane.com/blog/there-w...
