Country Catch Up! – Dolly Parton Doesn’t Have Time to Get Old

On Hot Country mornings with Jody & Melody we shared on your Country Catch Up that Dolly Parton might have just shared her secret to aging.

She says, quote, “People say, ‘Well, you’re going to be 80 years old.’ Well, so what? Look at all I’ve done in 80 years. I feel like I’m just getting started. I know that sounds stupid, but unless my health gives way….”Which right now I seem to be doing fine . . . I think there’s a lot to be said about age. If you allow yourself to get old, you will. I say, ‘I ain’t got time to get old!’ I ain’t got time to dwell on that. That’s not what I’m thinking about.”

Dolly turns 80 on January 19th. She has a new memoir out called “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage”.

We LOVE Dolly’s great positive attitude. Dolly Parton talked to People Magazine about her legacy and turning 80 in the video below,

  • Jody Tedford, Maritimer at heart, born in Sydney, Cape Breton, grew up in Earltown and went to school in Tatamagouche.  Jody's radio career has taken him across Canada & back again for the past 20 years. Jody has met a lot of cool people, introduced several famous artists & bands like the Beach Boys, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts & Gord Bamford, Jimmy Rankin & Rita MacNeil & George Canyon and volunteered his time with organizations like the Salvation Army, Canadian Red Cross, BC Wildlife Park & Big Brothers & Big Sisters. Jody is a Dad, Grandfather, & hubby, who loves his family, friends & music. You may catch him around a campfire playing guitar & singing songs.
