The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will always love Dolly Parton, even if she has cold feet.
– The country queen is set to be inducted this year despite her asking voters to consider other acts because she didn’t feel she had “earned that right.”
What happened next: Parton learned what rock fans have known for some time — the Cleveland-based Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has expanded beyond the genre.
– “[W]hen I said that, it was always my belief that the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame was for the people in rock music, and I have found out lately that it’s not necessarily that,” Parton later said in an interview with NPR.
Why it matters: The honor is another example of Parton’s unlimited influence. She’s already one of the most decorated modern songwriters and artists. Now she’ll take her place among “rock & roll” royalty.
– Rapper Eminem will be inducted with Parton, as will Lionel Richie, Duran Duran, Carly Simon, the Eurythmics and Pat Benatar.
