At the age of 77, fabulous country superstar
DOLLY PARTON is still working longer than
9 to 5 per day.
In a recent interview, she said: “I would never retire. I’ll just hopefully drop
dead in the middle of a song on stage someday, hopefully one I’ve written.”
And to prove her never-ending productivity, she just released her
49th (!) LP. It’s called Rockstar. Yep, Parton‘s first rock longplayer.
It features several big name collaborations.
The supreme standout track is her cover of PURPLE RAIN,
the 1984 blockbuster hit from late musical genius PRINCE.
Parton‘s vocal performance is absolutely fantastic.

Turn up the heat,
move your feet, and

fireworks and some moony musings to end the party
when the sun comes up.

Last weekend, the 7th annual celebration of the late musical virtuoso
PRINCE (1958-2016) had place at his famous studio complex Paisley Park.
Fans received a USB drive shaped like a cassette loaded with two previously
unreleased tracks from the Prince Vault. One named All A Share Together Now,
recorded in 2006, and 7 (E Flat Version) an alternate take of the LP Love Symbol‘s
track called 7 that was recorded 1992.
Both tracks will be officially available on July 7,
but they already popped up on the internet.

Musical genius PRINCE passed away today 7 years ago, on 21 April 2016,
following an accidental overdose of Fentanyl, a strong painkiller, 50 to 100
times stronger the morphine. He was only 57.
In 1987 the purple royalty released his double
masterpiece album SIGN “O” THE TIMES.
The late, sadly missed icon translated the troubled times the world
experienced back then perfectly in the title track. Unfortunately nothing
has really changed after 36 years. Today it’s back to egoism, intolerance,
racism, sexism, hate and political extremism as we all know.
The fact that this funky master blaster sounds like
it’s 1987 all over again is both scary and alarming.

PS: Since 2018, fentanyl and its analogues have been responsible for most drug overdose deaths in the United States, causing over 71,238 deaths in 2021. Because fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, its primary clinical utility is in pain management for cancer
