Like many, I caught her in the mid-90s DOLLY tour and I was blown away. I actually had the chance to meet her and we had a brief, but very genuine talk. I was going through some rough times in high school and she said some really beautiful things that put it all in perspective and helped me carry on. I will never forget that kindness. She is one of the rare few celebrities that not only met my every expectation, but exceeded them all. Those people are more precious than diamonds. It so sad that we have lost one.
I hope recordings of her performances, interviews, and television appearances continues to inspire future generations of performers, as it did for me and so many others. Rest in Peace, our beloved Carol.
PS - Is someone available to do a welfare check on DOLLYPOP today???
