Fans Have Trouble Getting Pigeon Forge Seats
Dollywood on Wednesday started season passholder presales for Dolly's Pure & Simple Tour in Pigeon Forge on Nov. 15 to benefit her Imagination Library but the sales greatly frustrated fans for hours. Many complained the online ticket sales platform would not recognize their season passes, requiring them to call for tickets, which overwhelmed the phone systems for the park. (Your webmaster can confirm that neither our family's platinum pass nor regular park pass could access tickets online – twice the error message came back that the passes were not valid but over 100 times the message just said that an error had occurred, most likely a time-out error given how long the site was taking to load, indicating it was operating beyond its capacity just like the phone. Your webmaster can also confirm that more than 100 phone calls between 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. resulted in "all circuits are busy" messages, while calls between 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. went through but resulted in an outgoing message that calls were not being accepted at that time because all operators were returning call-backs from earlier in the day. I finally got through on the phone at 2 p.m. and waited half an hour to talk to someone. Four and a half hours after tickets went on sale, I was offered four sixth row seats, suggesting that by that time very few tickets had actually been sold. Monitoring Facebook postings, I have yet to see anyone who was able to complete a ticket purchase using the website.) The park kept phone lines operating through 8 p.m. to try and accommodate calls. Its Facebook page included the following message about an hour after tickets were supposed to be on sale: "We apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced purchasing tickets this morning. If you are a 2016 Dollywood Season Passholder, you may now visit http://bit.ly/23aeywf to purchase tickets to Dolly Parton's Pure & Simple concert on Nov. 15 in Pigeon Forge." The message was later updated to add: "We apologize for your frustration regarding the purchase of tickets to Dolly's Pure & Simple concert in Pigeon Forge. Based on high demand, we are extending Dollywood's Call Center hours until 8 p.m. EST tonight." The problems were so severe that many local media outlets reported on it: The Mountain Press here, Sevier News Messenger here, The Knoxville News Sentinel here and WATE here.

Dolly Talks Tour, Album, Orlando
Dolly on Monday hopped across the border to Toronto to host a press conference on a wide range of topics to promote the Canadian leg of her Pure & Simple Tour. Among the tidbits were that the album of the same name (cover art for which was released on Monday and is posted at left) will be distributed by Sony Music worldwide for Dolly Records, that its release date has been moved up by one week to Aug. 19, that the track listing is still being finalized even though a track listing appears in the tour books, that the title track will be a single and that "I'm Standing Outside Your Door" may be the second single. Also at the conference, she was asked about Sunday's terrorist attack in Orlando, replying: "I do have big gay following, and I'm the patron saint to a lot of those guys and it makes me feel good. But as far as what happened in Orlando, that's just horrible. It doesn't matter what kind of a club it happened to be. It's a hate crime, looks to me like what they say. I am not God, I am no judge, I just know that God loves us all. It's just terrible that people kill anybody for any reason. But the fact that you just kill somebody for being something you don't agree with or don't understand is terrible. It's just terrible, period. We should love one another a little, don't you think?" She was also asked about North Carolina's anti-LGB and anti-trans legislation, responding: "I think we all have to live in this world and we're all kinds of people. I think everybody should be protected, everybody should be safe, everybody should be comfortable in their world however they do. So I really think it's important that we as a nation, we as a people, try and love each other a little better and try and love each other a little more. It's nothing to be flippant about in any way but I always say we had the first transgender bathroom in our outhouse back home. And I always joke our water park at Dollywood — everybody's free to pee in that. But the point is I think we need to make better rules. We've got to take better care of each other." Coverage of the press conference include Hello Magazine here, The Toronto Star here, The Knoxville News-Sentinel here and Billboard here. In related news, reviews of her Sunday show in upstate New York appeared in The Niagara Gazette here and The Buffalo News here, while Saturday engagement at Cincinnati made Cinci Music here. Also, The New York Times noted here that her tour includes two dog to sniff out explosives and keep her safe on the road. Finally, Winstar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla., announced Monday that she'll perform two nights at their establishment Dec. 9 and 10, with sales starting at 10 a.m. June 17.

The $22 million addition is the world's first launched wooden coaster and world's fastest wooden coaster. In a press release, Dolly said: "I knew we really had something truly special when we started talking about building Lightning Rod. It's going to bring people from all over the world to Dollywood so they can experience all that speed and excitement. I just can't wait to hear what everyone thinks when they burn rubber on that wild ride through the hills in our newest hot rod! I know one thing; it's definitely going to flip your wig!" The story was covered by the Knoxville News-Sentinel here. The park on Saturday also kicked off its Great American Summer, featuring 10 a.m.-10 p.m. hours concluding with a nightly fireworks show. Headliners are illusionist Brad Ross for the first half of the festival and the Stunt Dog Experience for the second half.

New 'Coat' Children's Book Officially Announced
Although news of its release was first reported by Dollymania.net more than a month ago, Penguin Young Readers on Thursday officially announced the Oct. 18 release of a new children's book version of Dolly's song Coat Of Many Colors. As was previously reported, the book will feature illustrations by Brooke Boynton Hughes (Dolly originally released a children's book version of the song with illustrations by Judith Sutton through publisher Harper Collins in 1994). The only new information in the announcement was that the book will come with access to a new downloadable song by Dolly called "Making Fun Ain't Funny." In the release, Dolly stated: "Every year I receive dozens of letters and emails from teachers talking about how they use the song ('Coat of Many Colors') in their classroom to discuss being proud of who you are, that being different is not a bad thing, that every person is special and the terrible consequences of being bullied. It has always made me feel honored that my little song has been used in this way." She added about the experience upon which the autobiographical song was based: "I carried the hurt from that day for a long time before it all finally came together in one frantic moment. The words just poured out of me. Of course, over all of these years my memories are all about so many people who have shared with me how this song helped them heal a similar hurt. I can see all of their faces and remember all of their words." Get your copy here.

Dolly & Carl's Anniversary Pics For Sale
Dolly and hubby Carl Dean this week put out their planned call to sell exclusive photos from their restatement of their wedding vows on their 50th anniversary to the highest bidder to benefit children's charities. Those interested in obtaining the rights may e-mail dollyweddingphotos@gmail.com. In a statement, Dolly said: "If I had it to do all over, I'd do it all over again, and we did. I'm dragging him kicking and screaming into the next 50 years. Wish us luck. In all honesty, the only way I was able to get Carl to do any of this in the first place was that it was a great opportunity for us to raise money for some very worthy causes." The statement also quoted the seldom-photographed and never before interviewed Carl saying: "My first thought was I'm gonna marry that girl. My second thought was, Lord she's good lookin'. And that was the day my life began. I wouldn't trade the last 50 years for nothing on this earth." As part of the anniversary, Dolly solicited questions from fans and asked 50 of the questions to conduct Carl's first-ever interview, which will soon be released with the photos. (Ed. Note: An earlier version of this report misinterpreted the press release to state that the Q&A was in video format. The site has been informed it is not a video and has corrected the report. We apologize for the error.)

Pure & Simple Tour Starts, Dolly Mentions Trans Love
Dolly opened her Pure & Simple Tour Friday night in Greensboro, N.C., electrifying the crowd, according to fans reporting afterward. In advance of the show, CNN shared a new quote from her about the state's anti-gay and anti-trans laws that have caused most LGBT-friendly artists who were booked to perform in the state in recent months to either cancel their shows or donate all proceeds to LGBT charities, saying according to WATE here: "I think everybody should be treated with respect. I don't judge people. I try not to get too caught up in the controversy of things. I hope that everybody gets a chance to be who and what they are. I just know if i have to pee, I'm going to pee. I don't care where it's going to be." At the end of her actual concert, she addressed the issue from the stage, introducing her encore of "I Will Always Love You" with the statement: "I've always loved all my fans. In fact I really have all kinds of people that work in my organization. I don't care what you're black or white or green or blue or alien gray. I don't care if you're gay or straight or transgender. I love you, all of you. And I'd like to think that God loves us all. We need to try to learn to live a little better, love a little more." Thanks to Anthony Favale for the set list below and photos from the show at left and right!
