Dolly’s Birthday Bash Live!
January 19—Dolly’s birthday—found me live-blogging for 24 hours straight as fans logged in from every time zone. Her video greeting rang out: “Happy birthday to me, and to all y’all too!”
Server alerts flashed, but tales poured in: childhood coat-of-many-colors confessions, karaoke heartbreak anthems, and memories of mama’s peach pie. Each comment wove a larger patchwork of love.
In that digital crowd, I realized reporting Dolly’s world isn’t just news—it’s community building, one heartfelt story at a time.
