    Loretta Lynn RIP

    Loretta Lynn, coal miner's daughter and country music icon, dies at 90 (msn.com)

    Her signature 1970 hit “Coal Miner’s Daughter” became the title of her 1976 autobiography, which was turned into the Oscar-winning 1980 film with Sissy Spacek as the lead.
    In 1972, Lynn became the first woman in history to win the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year trophy, and she would add a mantle’s worth of hardware to go with it over the years — four Grammys, a 2003 Kennedy Center honor, and a Presidential Medal of Freedom a decade later. Over her six-decade career, Lynn sold more than 45 million albums, according to her personal website.
    Not my flavor of music, but she was an icon.

    RIP Loretta. You definitely were an icon.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    Ah, shoot! I really liked her. Well, 90. Tough to complain about that.

    I never liked those country music songs that touted being a nobody and of low status, But she was good at what she did and I am sorry to hear that she died.
