Transcript
- 0:00We got a question for American mama. Dear mama, what did you think
- 0:03of Dolly Parton's new song. Well, let's ask our American mama. Mama,
- 0:08mama, she say, and joining us now our American mama, Terry
- 0:21Netterville. Dolly Parton sang at the Country Music Awards, right and now she's
- 0:26she got inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And she came
- 0:30out and says, look, I've never done a rock album. I don't
- 0:32think I should be in the rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And they
- 0:33said, shut up, you're in the rocking doing anyway. So she's like,
- 0:36well, okay, fine that I'm gonna do a rock album. So
- 0:38she started work on a rock album. I don't know if this song is
- 0:43on her rock album, but oh my word, it should be. It
- 0:48is. It is really so good. I'm gonna play I can't play all
- 0:51of it right, um, but you'll get it. You'll get a sense
- 0:54of what this is. It is just so good. What you want to
- 1:07do burns down. She got to freaking down much, but don't touch an
- 1:23abstrup what we're gonna do literally on it's so good, so good. Ah,
- 1:34The lyrics. If you have not heard the song, please got a
- 1:38YouTube and look this up, because everybody is aware how much I love Dolly
- 1:42Right went to Dollywood on my honeymoon. She's my girl. I don't even
- 1:47know what side of the political owl she lands on, right, but she
- 1:52speaks to the heart everything that she writes, and this is what I love.
- 1:55I don't want to know, right, I don't want to know this
- 1:59song. And honestly, if I really analyze the lyrics, Yeah, she
- 2:01says president's past. Yes, so she's actually talking about I think she's talking
- 2:07about all a politicis I think presidents and passed is what she says, right,
- 2:09Yeah, so I think she's talking about like politicians and all starts.
- 2:13I don't think she's picking one side or the other. I think she,
- 2:15honestly, if she's on a party, I think she's trying to be on
- 2:17the party that she thinks God's on. Exactly. Well, that's kind of
- 2:22that's the type that you're talking about when she says greedy politicians, president and
- 2:24past, they wouldn't know the truth if it bid him in the ass,
- 2:27right, And you know, she is one of those that when she writes
- 2:30a song, she writes from the heart, and she's very careful. I
- 2:32think when it comes to politics, she doesn't talk about it one way or
- 2:37the other. She's friends with everybody from every side. She turns down opportunities
- 2:40to go in front of this president or that president. She truly does feel
- 2:45and believe kind of same way Elvis did. He's here to entertain, right
- 2:50and if entertaining makes you think about what you believe, then awesome. Because
- 2:54she feels like that she's using God's gift for her life to reach people in
- 2:59a way that they need to be. But some of the things that she
- 3:00said, and I love the fact that she has hope because she says that
- 3:04we still have time to turn it all around. She doesn't know what's happening
- 3:07right now with the politicians, the politics and and all of that, but
- 3:12she says that there's still time. There's still time to heal the great divide.
- 3:15You know, there's a couple of things that she said that I wanted
- 3:17to share. She said, there's a there's a breakdown section towards the end
- 3:21of the and it has that fire fireworldsirelier World's on Fire has that going on
- 3:28as a chance in the background. Yeah, she just comes in with her
- 3:30Yeah it is. Everybody has to go look it up. But like it
- 3:35says, she gives like you said, it gives each phrase room to breathe.
- 3:38Yes, like she'll say, show some love as they're in the background
- 3:42going lot fire fire, the world's on fire, right, and then she
- 3:46goes, let's rise above, Let's make a stand, let's lend a hand,
- 3:51let's heal the hurt, let kindness work, Let's be a friend,
- 3:54let hatred end. And the whole time it gets like a three second moment
- 4:00for you to take it in because I don't care what side that you land
- 4:04on. If you don't believe with that, if you don't agree with that
- 4:09and believe in that, then what are you doing in this world? What
- 4:14is your purpose then? If you don't want this thing to heal, no
- 4:17matter what side your own, then what good? What? How are you
- 4:21using your purpose for earth? Well? And I go back to this that
- 4:26I don't think she's appealing to either party or the other. I don't either.
- 4:28I think she's trying to say she's pointing people to God. She's there's
- 4:30a line in there. If you can't hear from God, then we're all
- 4:35deaf two yes, right, And that's another thing that people are so afraid
- 4:41to bring God into any kind of book or songs. Yeah, yeah,
- 4:44right, And she says, when do we lose in God? We trust?
- 4:47I don't mighty what we're gonna do if God ain't listening. We're deaf
- 4:50too, that's right. I mean her lyrics so good, you cannot tell
- 4:55me that that is not straight from heaven. There's a well, speaking of
- 4:58Heaven. There's another line that appealed directly to Heaven in the Bridge and the
- 5:01Bridge I thought was really really well done, just because a lot of times
- 5:05and you know, get a bridge and a rock sign goes even darker.
- 5:09And she's had this heavy darkness in the song. She gets to the bridge
- 5:11and all of a sudden there's light. Yeah, well you're talking about when
- 5:13she says, we've all been through hell because we have time to break the
- 5:16spell in Heaven's name. Yeah, she brings God back into it at the
- 5:21appropriate time, right, And she is trying to appeal. It's almost like
- 5:25she's a matriarch. You know, she's at this age where she's a matriarch
- 5:30of us. She clearly is the matriarch of country music, if not just
- 5:33period popular music. And you know the thing that I love about her she
- 5:36is Molly Cyrus's godmother. And Molly is a hard left. She's a hard
- 5:42left. And then she has friends on every side like even you know Jane
- 5:46find and then the hard left. But she does not break away from her
- 5:49friends on the right. She stays neutral. And it's all about love.
- 5:54God is love. Let's do this in Heaven's name. Let's break the spell,
- 5:57Let's heal the earth. How do we do that? We do that
- 6:00through love. Check Out the song Dolly Parton World on Fire. It's really
- 6:04really good. Terry Outaville, our American Mama, thank you so much.
