They had such an incredible love story. Dolly Parton is gearing up to release her new book Star of the Show: My Life on Stage by Dolly Parton, which comes out on November 11th, and she sat down with Entertainment Tonight ahead of the release to talk about meeting her late husband Carl Dean on her first trip to Nashville, the new musical about her life that’s headed to Broadway, and her incredibly iconic country music career at large. Of course, Dolly has won countless awards, scored chart-topping hits, and has done everything and more she could’ve ever hoped or dreamed to accomplish. She talked about all of the sacrifices she’s made during the conversation, and she also gave some insight into how she’s doing since the loss of her aforementioned husband, Carl Dean, who passed away on March 3rd of this year. The famous legend goes that they met outside of the Wishy Washy laundromat in Nashville in 1964, the same day that Dolly moved to Music City, as fate would have it. They dated for two years, and decided they wanted to get married. And actually, at the time of their wedding, Dolly’s newfound record label didn’t want her to get married at all. They thought it might tarnish her image, and as we all know, Dolly did what she wanted anyways… so she and Carl Dean secretly ran off to Ringgold, Georgia, along with Parton’s mom Avie Lee as a witness, and headed for the local courthouse. Dolly explained that she left “two boyfriends” back home, and certainly wasn’t looking for another one upon arrival in Music City… but she met the love of her life the first day she was there: “I left two boyfriends back home, thinking that’s the last thing is I’m gonna meet a boy… well, I got one that lasted 40 years. I’m a very spiritual person, and I just felt that was meant to be. I think if we pray the right way, think the right way, I think God places things in your life. Or that’s how I always looked at it with Carl. I went to do my laundry, that was the chore I had that  day and Carl just came riding by in his ’62 Impala and just kind of whistled me down, because I waved… I said, well, we’re country people. When somebody goes by, we wave.” The rest, as they say, is history, and Carl is also featured in Dolly’s new Broadway production, DOLLY: A True Original Musical, which is headed to New York City in 2026 after it opened in Nashville this past summer. Dolly says it’s all been a very emotional experience, and she cries every time she watches the cast perform a song called “From Here To The Moon and Back” in particular, which is about her love for her late husband: “I get very emotional. Like the part about Carl, of course… John Behlmann, who plays Carl, does such a wonderful job. When they start singing a song called ‘From Here To The Moon and Back,’ I cry every time. In a way, it’s kind of healing to relive my life like that. To sit back and watch it, instead of having to live it.” Dolly has not stopped working hardly at all since Carl passed earlier this year, but I’m sure behind closed doors it’s been an extremely difficult time for the country queen and she’s still very much in the throws of grief after losing the love of her life. Following some recent health issues over the last several months, Dolly had to postpone her 2025 Las Vegas residency, but she will return to Sin City in 2026 to fulfill those previously scheduled dates. She’s had a really tough year, so it’s actually good that’s she’s slowing down to take some time and focus on herself, and I”m sure she’ll be back and ready to dazzle onstage next year.

You just don’t get explosive moments like this from the CMA Awards anymore. These days the awards shows are all pretty tame (and by that I mean pretty boring). There’s no drama, because nobody wants to ruffle feathers and get a reputation for being a “troublemaker.” So the result is a sanitized, corporate awards show that’s broadcast to fans but is really made for the labels and those in the music industry to pat themselves on the back. Yeah, not really a fan of awards shows. But it hasn’t always been like that. There have been more than a few drama-filled moments from the CMA Awards over the years – like Mary Chapin Carpenter calling out Dwight Yoakam with an unreleased song. While she wasn’t the biggest name on the show at the time (George Strait took home the award for Entertainer of the Year), the “Down At the Twist and Shout” singer decided to make a splash by performing a new song, “Opening Act.” And the lyrics took a shot at some “jackass” in tight jeans that she was opening for – widely assumed to be Dwight Yoakam, who she was on tour with around the time the song was written. Take a look at the lyrics: “I don’t have a hit in the Billboard charts I don’t have a limousine that stretches three blocks Ready to take me from door to door Just like the jackass I’m opening for He doesn’t know me, I’m his opening act. Now I’m not going bald, so I don’t wear a hat Tight jeans don’t fit me, I’m a little too fat I can’t sing like a frog blowing farts through his nose So I don’t expect you’ll like me, but that’s how it goes.” I mean, who else could she be singing about? (And in case you weren’t aware, Dwight Yoakam has a reputation for being kind of an a–hole). Now, we’d never get an unreleased song like this debuted on the CMA Awards these days. And at the time, Carpenter wasn’t exactly eager to perform it during her big moment either – in part because the song was originally even more harsh and had to be toned down for the awards show. But in a move that seems unbelievable these days, producers of the CMA Awards actually pushed for her to perform “Opening Act” – probably because they knew how explosive it would be. Wish they still had balls like that today. Carpenter received a standing ovation for the performance – something that she admitted to Engine 145 that she wasn’t expecting: “When they first asked me, I immediately said ‘no.’ It was a novelty number; I was afraid that it would lose a little bit of bite because there was actually a dirtier version of the song that we did live… but it was a special opportunity and I did it. I’ll always remember that night. Michael Campbell, Ricky Van Shelton’s manager at the time, was there during soundcheck and he was the last person I saw before I went on stage. Right before I went out, I heard him say, ‘That was a nice career you had going there, Carpenter!’ When the audience stood and applauded, I was just flabbergasted.” And she also said that it’s not based on Dwight Yoakam, but rather more than one experience – an experience I’m sure many opening acts can relate to, even today: “If it was written about one person in particular, why did the entire audience relate to it? The entire audience related to it because it’s a universal experience. That’s why it went over, as far as I can tell.” Yeah, not buying it, it was definitely about Dwight Yoakam. This year’s CMA Awards will be broadcast live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on November 19, 2025 at 8/7c on ABC, with Lainey Wilson hosting the 59th annual show.The post CMA Awards 1990: Mary Chapin Carpenter Rips Dwight Yoakam With Unreleased Song “Opening Act” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
