I can remember being that poor as a kid. I didn't think of myself as poor then and I don't think of it that way now. We had to do without things but they were just things. Wealth isn't always about money. Sometimes it's a state of mind.
There was a song that she sang on American Idol one time when she was invited to sing on there one week after Simon had made some snide remark about her on live air. Little did Simon know, Dolly is a fan of Idol and was tuned in. I dont remember the song she sang but I do remember her making a comparison of Simon to Satan....PRICELESS. Dolly is a sweetheart and seems to have a heart the size of Tx. God Bless Her!
She's simply a fantastic songwriter and performer...I was upset to hear about how Whitney Houston dissed Dolly about this song....Whitney believed it was now "her" song, and didn't even know Dolly wrote, sung, and it was a number one song a decade before Whitney sang it for the "Bodyguard".
That is a great song.

With a twist...God he was beautiful,inside and out!
