Turned into a meme, generally agreed upon to be EPIC BACON AWESOMESAUCE. For recent examples, see: Keanu Reeves, Werner Herzog.

I do find these spontaneous outpourings of adoration for seemingly random artists somewhat annoying too, but the good outweighs the bad imo - lots of people get exposed to Dolly Parton's music, which is great.
Nigella feels more contained because it's mostly a UK (and within that, left twitter) thing.

James, there's a 77 thread on this phenomenon, which also includes zombies and moustaches iirc

Ha, thanks, I saw that thread but still couldn't quite figure it out, didn't have time to peruse properly.

this and the lionization of Keanu seem like maybe a response to #MeToo when it was revealed that a lot of the celebrities we liked are actually scumbags so its refreshing to encounter one that actually does seem good and genuine

I assumed it meant stoned. like, more than baked.
― Cocteau Twinks (jed_), Wednesday, 3 March 2021 17:57 (three years ago) link
I was briefly confused as to whether it meant something good or bad because of all the disappointment online about her rewriting 9 to 5 for that ad. I'm glad to see that's being pretty much forgotten.

Hah, same here. Yeah, I get mixed feelings about these sudden outpourings of celebrity adulation. With Dolly, it's fine because (except for her decade of disposable, mega-selling pop) I already loved her music, and as a humanitarian, she was already pretty awesome, even before donating $1+ million to what ended up resulting in the Moderna vaccine (without ANY fanfare to boot - it only came out because they were more or less compelled to list her as one of the financial benefactors after completing their clinical trials).
But it also gets ridiculously smarmy, especially when I've now heard "national treasure" applied to everyone from Julie Andrews to Tom Petty in the last few years - I'm sure they're all good people but c'mon.

xp Totally. I think Dolly's one of those rare artists that I absolutely love who seems like someone I would not be intimidated to meet and would actually enjoy knowing IRL. Really sinks in this morning after I was listening to Van Morrison, who I'd be hesitant to meet and really wouldn't want to know at all (even before his past year of asshattery).

Good for her. It's not like the RnR Hall of Fame is the apex of all musical achievement; they act as if, if you're truly exceptional in some other genre, we'll let you Rock.

I've long posited that Dolly and "Weird" Al remain two of the least sullied and most universally beloved people in American music, if not *the* two. That is, no one has a bad thing to say about them personally, and musically their reputations seem pretty secure, too. In celebration and out of respect we were trying to think of what "Weird" Al would do with a Dolly song. The best we came up with (and granted, we spent two minutes) was rewriting "Jolene" as "Eat Beans," about a guy that just sits around and eats beans a lot.
Anyway, Happy Birthday Dolly Parton! You should be on our money.

I'd add Stevie to that list, but then again, of course I'd add Stevie to that list
― badpee pooper (Eric H.), Friday, 19 January 2024 14:44 (eight months ago) link
Oh shit, duh, yeah. Though Stevie's public prominence and musical output has faded significantly over the last few years.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 January 2024 15:16 (eight months ago) link
Honestly, come to think of it, I don't know much about Stevie Wonder personally. Is he a nice guy?
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 January 2024 15:18 (eight months ago) link
True on the public prominence. His musical output has trailed off considerably but, then again, so kinda has Dolly's
― badpee pooper (Eric H.), Friday, 19 January 2024 15:28 (eight months ago) link
I was about to say! Parton released an album a couple months ago but it's not like she's been more prolific.
