Nooooooooo!

I hope she's as remembered for her Imagination  Library as her musical talents.

I found out at the pub quiz, AS QUIZMASTER! as I did a question about a cover of a Dolly Parton song.
I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Two big ones there for our household. Dolly was just the epitome of how a life should be lived, not taking yourself too seriously, being positive and helping others.  Her Imagination Library has done a huge amount for childrens literacy as well. 

And Rocky Horror is probably Adele's all-time favourite film, she actually made us all go and watch it at the cinema for the 50th anniversary (with some funny looks from the kids at various points!)  Sorry to see that news but I know he'd been unwell for some time so at least he's not in pain anymore.
