DOLLY PARTON’S HEART IS AS BIG AS HER OLD SKOOL BOUFFANT & BOOBIES

By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com

This woman’s my hero!

With the just-announced news that Dolly would be touring this summer I found myself listening to old records and watching clips of her online. And I stumbled upon this gem of a photograph, as well as some touching points made when Dolly was interviewed last year by Larry King. Can’t wait to see you on the road this summer, Dolly!

When asked about her loyal gay fans:

“I have a lot of gay fans, female and male. A lot of people feel like they’ve grown up with me. As you know I’ve always been outspoken, I’ve always been pretty outrageous. I’ve always believed that a person should be who they are and you should be comfortable being who you are and people should leave you alone to be who you are and how you are. So I think I’ve always been accepted in the gay community because I accept them. I have so many fans who’ve always loved to come to the shows and they know that I’m not judging them. I think people are who they are. We’re supposed to love each other for what and who we are.”

When asked about anti-gay bullying:

“I don’t know the reasons why people act the way they do about other people. I just think we need to dig down a little deeper and try and be a little kinder to one another and accept each other for who we are. You can’t tell me that people are any way other than how they’re supposed to be. I don’t think gay people are trying to be different just to make other people miserable. I think people are being who they are. I think we should be a little more tolerant and a little more accepting and understanding.”

Check out a recent interview below + Dolly’s version of Shine following. (The lyrics felt appropriately matched to the message of this post.)

PS: I’ve gotta get back to Dollywood! That place rules my face!

“Pat [Patrick Carney], the drummer for the Black Keys, I met him at a Kings of Leon concert in London, and he was like, ‘I used to shit on you guys, but then I actually listened to your stuff, and you’re so rad.’”

TIM MCGRAW JOINS THE SOBER CLUB

By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com

“Faith has kept me alive. I’d be dead. I would have partied too hard. I might have caught myself somewhere along the way and put the brakes on. I don’t know if I would have gone [to rehab], don’t think I could have been talked into that during those times. She’s saved my life in a lot of different ways — from myself more than anything. She’s loved me through times when I didn’t love me. I can go down a dark road sometimes, when you’re not feeling good about yourself — and she pulls me out.”

–Tim McGraw to People Magazine
[McGraw quit drinking three years ago]

BEYONCE’S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE CRIES

By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com


“Why did God give me this life? Sometimes it’s overwhelming. Why did God give me my talent, my gift, my family? I know you’re not supposed to question God, so I’m grateful for the life he’s given me. I’m so grateful. I’m alive and I’m living a dream. I’m living my dreams. Wow.”

THE SPARKLING HEART OF KATY PERRY & THE STORY UNDERNEATH ‘FIREWORK’

By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com

Warm & fuzzy!

Thought this would a perfect message to re-feature during the season of giving. Notice how she references Jack Kerouac when she says “never say a commonplace thing” when speaking of the vid:

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes “Awww!”

–Jack Kerouac

KE$HA’S SAT SCORE WAS NEAR PERFECT

By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com

[Photo via Dave Benett/Getty Images]

Who would’ve thunk it?!

From NPR: “With near-perfect SAT scores, for her, a backup plan was never out of the realm of possibility. As a teenager, Ke$ha had a strong intellectual curiosity that extended beyond the music world.”

“I was very studious. I was in the international baccalaureate program, I loved physics and math, and I was in the marching band. After practice, I would drive to Belmont [a college in Nashville] and listen to Cold War history classes; I just think it’s so interesting. I was really curious about a lot of things that are much deeper than partying and dancing.”

–Ke$ha
[As taken from an interview with NPR]

Are we being punk’d?

BIEBS ON BEYONCE, KIMMEL ON BIEBS

By: Rob Brayl
For BiggerThanBeyonce.Com


“Nothing ever got my pulse racing (in a good way) like hockey. Well, nothing except Beyonce, but that wasn’t until I was twelve or so. Then, all of a sudden, it was like I opened my eyes one day and noticed that the world is full of beautiful girls, and I’ve had a hard time thinking about anything else ever since.”

-JB / Taken from his autobiography, First Step 2 Forever: My Story
