Backwoods Barbie

Speaking of stuffed and well-preserved ...

Just back from Wembley Arena where Miss Dolly Parton sang, told stories, and just entertained the bejeezus out of us. No pyrotechnics. No acrobatics. No overchoreographed lip-synching. No killer light show. Just lots of make up and hair and maybe a little collagen. I'm not sayin' ...

Sixty-one years old and she hits all her notes, toddles around on her way-too-skinny legs, makes fun of herself and her wigs, has a few giggles, and just sings her heart out. I loved it.

Do you think Madonna will be able to pull off the same feat in 15 years? I doubt it.
