During her more than 60-year career, Parton sold more than 100 million records and won 11 Grammy Awards, making her one of the best-selling musical performers of all time.
[...] Parton was also a shrewd businesswoman who amassed an estimated $650 million fortune and maintained creative control in the cutthroat and male-dominated music industry. She presided over an entertainment empire that included the Dollywood theme park. And she was a devoted philanthropist who launched the Dollywood Foundation to provide poverty relief and fund educational programs in her native East Tennessee.
It's a long retrospective of her life, more than I can really quote here.

Surviving members of the Boston City Government announced an ongoing initiative to just cover the whole thing in spikes. "The original plan was much more modest," elaborated city spokesman Blaine Grumbide. "We were just going to do a light spike-dusting on the usual offenders- retaining walls, alleyways, the bases of inset windows, park benches and all the seats on the T. But our subcontractor, well, you could say they got a taste for it, and yesterday they showed up with a 33-billion-dollar action plan to cover every Euclidean plane in Suffolk County with a uniform layer of needle-thin, virtually indestructible yet unnervingly prehensile skewers. Exteriors, interiors, whole shebang. We couldn't say no. I mean we literally couldn't, they were doing something. With their eyes."
Boston City Hall, reportedly the locus for the ongoing initiative, has been described by onlookers as resembling, quote, "a gorestained, brutalist sea urchin." Remaining city officials, who have decamped to the North St. Dunkin' Donuts, project that at current rate of expansion, all Boston neighborhoods will be inhospitable to human life by 2034, with the exception of Seaport, which in 2017 was deemed inhospitable to human life on unrelated grounds.
