NBC News: Dolly Parton asks Tennessee lawmakers not to erect statue of her on Capitol grounds
“Given all that is going on in the world, I don’t think putting me on a pedestal is appropriate at this time,” she said in a statement on Twitter.
Not now but not never. Parton wrote: “I hope, though, that somewhere down the road several years from now or perhaps after I’m gone if you still feel like I deserve it, then I’m certain I will stand proud in our great State Capitol as a grateful Tennessean.”
