I’m sure I’ll get some hate replies on this, but Dolly sang it better.  Whitney’s version, while pitch perfect, sounds like a car alarm.  It was overplayed to the point of annoyance.

No more disrespectful than the people who keep pretending that I Will Always Love You is Whitney Houston’s song, with zero knowledge that it is Dolly Parton’s Song was recorded in 1974 and used by Dolly Parton in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas in 1980

Underestimate the number of women whose racism trumps their feminism at your own peril. There are . . . many.

I like long walks on the beach. To make sure no immigrants come in.
