In yesterday’s post, I cavalierly raised some worrisome issues without resolving them.
Porter & Dolly
For example, Then, I speculated on Dolly’s feelings about Porter Wagoner after their professional split and tried to recall if Porter were still alive.
According to the Dead or Alive? web site, Porter Wagoner is still alive and will celebrate his 79th birthday on August 12 2006.
And, if one reads between the lines of this excerpt from a 2004 interview , it would seem that Dolly is still happy about having left one of the most popular and most successful singing groups in the Country & Western pantheon.
Interviewer: Maybe you should’ve stayed with Porter. Who knows how many more great songs that would have inspired?
Dolly: No, I shouldn’t of either. I’d of been dead and wouldn’t of wrote nothing! One of us would have been dead!
My Breakfast, My Mom, RuPaul, & Freud
To wrap up the other loose ends from yesterday’s post, I can report that
- The milk was spoiled
- My mother was awake when I called
- RuPaul is still the one and only RuPaul
- The remaining Freud anecdotes, two of which involve Sigmund’s bodily fluids,1 will probably be posted next weekend.
Sorry to have left you all hanging like that. My bad.
_____________________- No, not those bodily fluids, but they’re still pretty good stories.↩
I like the Freud stories :->. I adore Dolly’s comeback.
