Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 14/09/2026So those who are customers with CIBC, be aware that your bank is currently exporting thousands of jobs overseas during Canada’s downturn in economics. May want to keep that in consideration of who you bank with 030
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 09/09/2026So I did a dumb thing. Karen got my sugar-free gummies and I may have eaten too many let me tell you. Those stories are true about what sugar free gummies do to you 360
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026It may be a little cliche but by far to kill a mocking bird. It gave me if sense of right and wrong and that laws are not always right. My son is named Atticus for a reason 010
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Is that what your taking from this thread? That one part? Also written And released are two different things. Elvis knew the song before it was released cause he was going to record it but didn’t cause dolly wouldn’t sign over the rights. He still knows the song. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026The little girl in the rag coat owned the whole table by the end, and she never once compromised who she was. Rest easy, Dolly. Punk af forever. 010
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Somewhere next month, a kid in a holler in Tennessee, or Scotland, or Australia, opens the mail and finds a book with her name inside the cover. And the month after that. She's not done. Women like her don't stop just because they ☠️. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Her family has asked that instead of flowers, people give to the Imagination Library. Which means the way to mourn her is to put a book in a kid's mailbox. She planned that too. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Her husband Carl ☠️ last year, after nearly 60 years of a marriage so private most fans never saw his face. She followed him 17 months later. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She decided, decades ago, that her job was to love people, all of them, loudly, and she executed that decision with the same discipline she brought to her publishing rights. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She spent her whole life refusing to say a partisan word, and in the most divided country on earth, she was maybe the last public figure every single American agreed on. That was not an accident either. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She turned down the Presidential Medal of Freedom 3 times, from 2 different presidents, because accepting would feel political. She tried to decline her Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination because she didn't think she'd earned it. They inducted her anyway. She showed up and played. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026In 2020 she gave $1 million to Vanderbilt's medical research almost on instinct, and it helped fund one of the Covid vaccines. She got her own shot on camera singing "Jolene" with the chorus changed to "vaccine." 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Kids across the world know her only as the Book Lady, and she said her daddy was prouder of that than of anything else she ever did. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026In 1995 she started the Imagination Library in honor of her father, who ☠️ never having learned to read: a free book, mailed to any enrolled child, every month from birth to age 5, no conditions. It has now given away more than 300 million books.  110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She went back to Sevier County, the place she'd been poor, took over a struggling theme park in 1986, and turned Dollywood into one of the most-visited attractions in the country and one of the biggest employers her home county has ever had. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She wrote "9 to 5" on a film set, tapping her acrylic nails like a typewriter, and gave the American working woman her national anthem; a union song, functionally, that everyone in the USA probably knows. And then there's what she did with the money. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Meanwhile she wrote some 3,000 songs and kept ownership of her catalog, in an industry built on taking exactly that away from people. Men walked into negotiations with her and walked out having signed whatever she wanted. For 6 decades. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026The world spent 60 years underestimating her, and she engineered it that way. She said she wasn't offended by dumb blonde jokes, because she knew she wasn't dumb, and she knew she wasn't blonde. In Dolly's words: "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."  110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026That song was "I Will Always Love You." She said she wrote "Jolene" the same day. Most careers don't produce 2 songs like that. She did it in one sitting. Legend from the start 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She left for Nashville the day after her high school graduation. By 21 she was on the Porter Wagoner Show, and by 28 she'd outgrown a boss who had no intention of letting her go. So she wrote him a goodbye song and sang it to him privately.. 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Her mother stitched her a coat out of rags, the schoolkids made fun of her, and she turned that into a song that still makes grown adults cry in their cars. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She was born in 1946 in a one-room cabin on Locust Ridge, Tennessee, the 4th of 12 children of a sharecropper who could not read. As the family told it, the doctor who delivered her was paid with a sack of cornmeal. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026one of the shrewdest, toughest, most quietly radical Americans of the last century, hiding in plain sight on her 4 inch rhinestones heels, exactly where she wanted to be 130
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Dolly Parton ☠️ today in Nashville. She was 80. And since everyone already knows she was a national treasure, we're going to tell you the other thing she was: 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Elvis, for the record, loved the song anyway. Priscilla later told Dolly he sang it to her as they walked down the courthouse steps from their divorce. . 200
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026She invested it in an office complex in a Black neighborhood of Nashville, in Whitney's honor. She called it the house that Whitney built. 110
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/202618 years later, Whitney Houston's version of that song became the best-selling single by a female artist in the history of recorded music, and every songwriting royalty went to the woman who'd kept her copyright. And what did she do with the fortune Parker had tried to take half of? 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Then, the night before the session, his manager called. Colonel Tom Parker had a rule: Elvis records nothing without taking at least half the publishing. Half of her song. Forever. From her own lips, she cried all night. And then she said no 100
Brian Larter @oakhill.studio · 26/08/2026Taken from Threads: In 1974, Elvis Presley wanted to record "I Will Always Love You," and a 28-year-old woman from a one-room cabin in the Smoky Mountains was invited to the studio to watch the King sing her song. She told everybody she knew. 110
