Dolly Parton is releasing a new album called Rockstar, which is a genre change of her typical music (she’s a country artist, but she got put into the Rock and Roll of Fame, so she decided to make a rock album which features a lot of covers, many rock artists, and a few originals lol), and her single World On Fire showcases how things have gotten out of control and pretty much chimes in her thoughts on what’s happening.
She has said in the past that, unlike some other celebrities, she doesn’t talk about politics or where she stands because she’s an entertainer first and foremost, and she does explain that in the song, too. But she also says, in the song, that it doesn’t mean she’s out of touch.
Damn. When you’ve pissed off Dolly, you know you did something wrong. 
Personally, I don’t understand why people hate the idea of celebrities sharing their views. You can say, “They have influence on their fans,” and sure, but what about actual politicians? They’re doing the same exact things, if not, worse. They’re saying things like how they’ll fix this or do that, and sway voters to vote for them… and when they’re voted in, they do nothing. Some do the exact opposite. And she makes a point where “they wouldn’t know the truth if it bit 'em in the ass.” So…? Make it make sense.
And sure, these people preform and do their job, but they’re people, too. They have a right to talk about what’s going on in the world, where they stand, who they’re voting for, if they want to fix anything, etc. just like any other citizen.
