    “This woman needs no introduction..,”, but then he proceeded to talk about her for over 5 minutes. Right... 🧐🤨

    for some one who don't need an introduction she got an awfully long one... administrators love the sound of their own voices ... don't they??

    Love the song, Rocky Top. The only singers who will sing it are the legends of Country Music. Don't think I've ever heard the so called singers of today sing, "Rocky Top" or "Mule Skinners Blues" TOO COUNTRY for them.

    My graduation from UT sucked. The governor didn't show up, the guest speaker got stranded at an airport somewhere and everyone around me smelled like cheap vodka. Oh well, GO VOLS!

    I saw her sing at a Bluegrass festival once before she became famous. She is a very talented, wonderful person who has helped so many people in Tennessee.

    Saw Dolly sing this live at my sisters UT graduation ceremony. Man did I get so lost in the damn moment, and Im a total metal head. Listened to all her records, which were really outside my scope, became a huge fan of dolly, just from this one show

    I was in the audience at this ceremony, sister graduated from UT on this day. Completely forgot that the most prominent and successful Tennessee politician(gasp a Democrat!!) in the past 30 years gave a speech.
