September 25 - Dolly Day


Reported on the blog Seriously? OMG! WTF?, Garth Brooks and wife Trisha Yearwood are working to make September 25. 9/25, a day to celebrate Dolly Parton.  

Brooks and Yearwood’s Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk will honor Parton on Sept. 25 by declaring the date ‘Dolly Day.’ The choice of 9/25 is a nod to Parton’s iconic hit ‘9 to 5.’ On that day, Friends in Low Places will donate its entire income for the day to children’s literacy.

They are asking if we all help to make September 25th, Dolly Parton Day, and donate $9.25 to Imagination Library.  What a wonderful tribute!  

"We can also honor her by working to make the world a better place, touching one person at a time with a smile and a laugh!"  

Count me in!!!

Today in History: August 28, MLK delivers “I Have a Dream” speech

Jeffrey Sachs - Saying what we all have been saying all along. On the record.

 Wow... a blistering assessment of Trump and our political environment.


Jeffrey Sachs is an American economist and public policy analyst. He is a professor at Columbia University, at which he was formerly director of The Earth Institute and currently director of the Center for Sustainable Development. 

I would ascertain he is most credible to comment on the current environment.

Onward!

RIP - My favorite sweet Transvestite from Transexual, Transylvania.

 

  
Dr. Frank-n-furter, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". 
Over a decade ago, he suffered major stroke that left him
diminished. He gave a great interview in 2025 to
CBS Sunday Morning
, talking about his life before
and after the stroke.  

 
 

From AP News: "Known for his arch humor, a puttylike face and gift with voices, Curry earned three Tony nominations — for “Spamalot,” “My Favorite Year” and “Amadeus” — and a Primetime Emmy nod in 1994.

“I like playing the more curious corners of the human mind and human behavior, partly because they’re a tad more interesting,” Curry told The Associated Press in 1993."

  

Tim Curry in "Spamalot", next to "The Producers", 

one of my all time favorite musicals! 

 More on Rocky Horror from Queerty.

Just a wonderful, fearless actor. 
 
RIP, Tim.
