HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WILLIE NELSON!!

Music, movies, more music, some doobies; Willie Nelson has had a great career so far. One of the legends of country music, Willie turns 79 today! I have listened to good ol' Willie my whole life and in the past few years have come to admire him even more for his stand for the gay community. Nelson even contributed a song to the Brokeback Mountrain soundtrack, Cowboys are Frequently, Secretly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DOLLY PARTON!!

American treasure and boob-goddess Dolly Parton is 66 today!! Dolly is a true entertainment legend, crossing over from country to pop to movies to Broadway since the early '60s. Dolly is beloved the world over and is one of the most recognizable people on the planet, even if her face changes every few years. Ha. She's had 25 #1 hits on the country charts and a record 41 top 10 country albums. WOW

FLASHBACK: DOLLY PARTON - SWEET SUMMER LOVIN'

In my opinion, this is the sweetest of summer songs. From Dolly Parton's album Great Balls of Fire, Sweet Summer Lovin' was a breeze coming through the radio that landed at #7 on the country charts in the fall of 1979. Now I grew up in Texas, so we had the radio on country sometimes, y'all! I love me some Dolly anyway. The song is pretty, sweet and simple, just like me. Maybe that's why I like it
